Russian Federation Saint Basil's Cathedral
Saint Basil’s Cathedral at summer sunset.
Photography Tips
Summer is one of the best seasons for this viewpoint because during golden hour the sun sets behind the cathedral for several months. Add a post rain day with broken clouds and you have the perfect recipe for a really amazing sunset.
