Lately Russia has come top 5 on my wish list of countries to visit, mostly because of the lovely postcards i've received, and cause i've been learning a lot about that nation.
This is another lovely card showing another really great monument. Seems to be the most important russian monastery - Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius in Sergiyev Posad, 70 km from Moscow.
It's a compound holding great churches, cathedrals, towers and tombs. The detail on the right corner shows the Holy Spirit Church, and the Holy Fountain(?).
This huge place has been classified as UNESCO World Heritage cultural site, as of 1993.
I really want to go there some day when i visit Russia, right after Kizhi Island :))
