Re: Russian cathedral
Bob, It is a nice and intriguing image, but it appears a bit too dark on my monitor. I suspect it would look better with white matting. Interspersed below are my comments to Dan.

In simple words, - the Orthodox Churches in several other countries in Eastern Europe/Asia celebrate Christmas according to the Julian calendar. Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine, Serbia, come to mind.

Re: RIP Ambrose
Sorry for your loss Ralf! They make a wonderful companion and their absence is certainly noticed. We had two Main Coons, they were a delight. From the same professional breeder, four years apart. They never became best buddies, but tolerated one another. When we were looking for the first one, searching ads for breeders in our general region, we found and visited one place which I think would fit your “hobbyist” description. I knew nothing about the hereditary heart issues (and I have since learned that there are a few other issues as well). Fortunately, something bugged me about the place and we did not buy one of their kittens.
