The Ressurection Church of Foros

The Ressurection Church of Foros, originally uploaded by Carol PostCrossing Journey.

The Resurrection Church is a signature sight of Foros, located on the Red Cliff, 412 meters above sea level. It was built to commemorate the rescue of the Russian Emperor Alexander III in a railway station wreck near Kharkov in 1888. All the cars of the train were almost completely destroyed, except the car in which the Emperor and his family traveled. Many churches were built to commemorate this miracle all around Russia.

Greetings from Land Below The Wind @ Sabah, I’m Carol, 48 and had lived all my life here in Borneo Island of Malaysia, wonderful place surrounding by the beauty of nature..nice & friendly peoples around.

My greatest passion..of course collecting postcard & stamps from all over the world! :) thanks to PostCrossing for giving such opportunity to all postcard lovers:) I do like traveling but I’m not lucky enough for that :), but somehow via postcrossing, feels like I have been traveling all around to so many place! :-)..its been 16 years since I joined postcrossing and my collection keeps growing immensely.. thanks to everyone!

It’s a great feeling to open my postbox and knowing that postcard is there (instead of bills, statements, invoices, etc…..). Postcard arrived from someone somewhere in this world, at least we have a good reason to visit post office more often than usual, don’t you? :)

Peace & Love from Borneo Island..
