The magnificent St. Alexander Nevsky Memorial Church, built to the designs of architect Pomerantsev from 1904 to 1912, is one of the finest pieces of 20th century architecture in Sofia. The interior is just as splendid in materials and craftsmanship: Italian marble, Brazilian onyx, African alabaster, frescoes and woodcarvings by the best Bulgarian and Russian artists. The underground crypt has an impressive collection of icons. The exposition opened in 1964 and features icons from across Bulgaria that are among the 9th to 18th century masterpieces in the Balkans. Several icons from the 12th to 14th century match the best works of Constantinople studios of the age.

Hallo Valentina,

Hello Valentina !

Like in a stamp catalogue , we have a very wide variety of subjects in the stamp collection. Great choice of subject for yours.

A small perspective correction here, and cloning the car in the bottom left corner would have make it even better. But these are minors detials.
Cheers!

It's one of the most original presentation I saw since a while. Thumbs up!

A good choice of building for a stamp. Minor niggle in that the picture slants from left to right, but that doesn't detract from it being a good shot.
Thanks for sharing

Не знам с коя снимка да започна. Всички ми харесват. А тази е перфектна, друга дума просто няма.

Hello Valentina,
Lovely presentation of the fabulous St-Alexander in a stamp concept, a super idea .It is an icon itself architecturally speaking positioned nicely in the center of Sofia .I enjoyed watching the planes passing over its golden cupola on their way down to the airport , what a sight ! I like this,
TFS,
Carol
