The chapel has some history behind which made me amazed a little. I saw this chapel many times before but I didn’t read about it anything. I’m not good in rewriting in English so I will just copy a piece of article from English Wikipedia.
Plevna Chapel is a public subscription monument to the Russian Grenadiers who died during the Siege of Plevna (a major battle of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878).
By the way, if you take a look at the whole article (very small indeed) you can see a reproduction of a 19th-century postcard. It’s funny to think that Moscow looked like this in former times.
As for why I photographed it at all. It was dusk and I just stood and looked at the candles lit inside the chapel. In those moments I’d like to believe in God, but not for long.
The candles and snow together create a wonderful atmosphere. I hope you do more like this one. 🙂

had to process image rather much to get final result. I just overexposed the shot to get details inside. So it’s a pleasure to hear that the lighting is good 🙂 Thank you, Art!
