Why should the beautiful die?


Domes of St. John the Baptist

These famous domes figure in many postcard views of Pittsburgh. There are actually two St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic churches on the South Side. This, the Ukrainian one, is the one everyone sees. The lesser-known one is on Jane Street near 18th; it belongs to a Ruthenian congregation that split from the larger St. John the Baptist to have its own liturgy in its own language.

The picture above is a high-dynamic-range image made from three separate photographs at different exposures. Below, the church from across the Monongahela.
