Sunday cathedral.

Here, the Cathedral of the Annunciation, in Moscow, Mother Russia. 

Built in the 1400's by architects from Pskov (Pskov?).  Russian Tsar Ivan the Terrible had to enter by a side entrance, because under the rules of the Russian Orthodox Church, he had been married three times too many, and thus was not allowed to come in the front door.  

And hey, if one gold plated onion dome is good, nine are better!
