St Nicholas

I came across this little church quite by accident!     Don't you

 just love when that happens???   

Whilst on one of my jaunts yesterday ... I got slightly 'lost" and came

 across this dear with church in one of the oldest suburbs of

Johannesburg, Brixton.  St Nicholas Greek orthodox church, in

typical blue and white design, dome and all

(see last image below in case you can't see it above). 

What is fascinating is that unlike most churches it occupies a very

small place, literally sandwiched between a number of private homes.

And true to orthodox church style, there will always be

intricate mosaic work somewhere, this one is no exception -

how gorgeous is the detail and colour?!?!?!

and below a clearer view of the dome...

I wax lyrical about my love of photography, if for no other reason,

than the joy of finding wayout places, at times on the road less travelled,

 finding things which are truly magnificent, appreciating the small details,

which I (we) would normally miss ....

Anyway back to work now .... as you were!
