St. Basil’s Cathedral Moscow

So one of the fun things about the cathedral is how recognizable it is to people of all ages, wether you’ve been there or not. One of the first times I showed some of the pictures of my visit to my kids when they were little the response was priceless, and it turns out a common theme about this building. The first thing they said was ‘ wow it’s an ice cream cone building!’ . So from that point on that’s what we called it until they got older. As it turns out it’s somewhat common for people to reference the cathedral like that. It always fascinates me how architecture can influence your life, and it doesn’t always have to be some grand ‘wow’ moment, it’s all the little moments that you share with friends or family and the architecture provides the backdrop.
