The Golden Ring is a loop of very old towns northeast of Moscow that preceded the present capital as the cultural heart of Russia. Monasteries, kremlins and churches offer a spectacular array of early Russian art, architecture and history. No less enchanting is the countryside with its peaceful villages and beautifully decorated wooden houses.
The survivors of Noah's Flood are gratefully watching a rainbow, while the animals are leaving the ark. A smiling unicorn looks back at the boat as if he wants to say "that was a nice trip!" The scene was created by unknown 17th century artists in the western vestibule of Tutayev's Resurrection Cathedral. Photo Mick Palarczyk.
