"S": Sepia square in #Manchester & September in St Petersburg #Piter @Easternbloc1985


ABC Wednesday and so suddenly "S" surrounds us. A section of Albert Square in Manchester gets a sepia treatment above while, marking my solidarity with the innocent lost lives of hundreds of Piter (St. Petersburg) residents in the recent terrorist plane bombing, below's a quirky photo I took in happier times for that stunning city in September.

It's of my Manchester Eastern Bloc Records bag in front of its design inspiration - The Church on Spilled Blood, built in the 1880s on the spot where Tsar Alexander II was assassinated in 1881. Peace be with you...

  4. The Church of The Saviour in St Petersburg is a magnificent building,
    What a pity it commemorates
    'Spilled Blood'.
    I do hope The Russian Orthodox Church re-consecrates it so that it may be used for
    what it was built for... The worship of Christ.
    As I write this there is yet another terrorist incident, in Mali W. Africa, (formerly French Sudan) this time, where 170 people have
    been taken hostage, three people reported to have been murdered..more spilled blood !
    Peace be with you.
    Best wishes,
