#Budapest #cavechurch

The pic is of a very tall band a multi-colored reddish rock cliff streaked vertically with white and blue. It is hard to tell whether the streaks are natural or painted. Below the band of rock is more rocks with some vegetation. Above the band of rock is brilliant deep blue sky, with some vegetation lining the rim. In roughly the middle of the pic, above the railing, is an arch that appears to be painted with figures.

Closeup of the figures in the barely visible arch in the previous pic. It is a series of figures clad in red on a light blue background, and several appear to have halos. Below is a stone and brickwork wall filling in the odd shape of the opening of the cave. At the very bottom can be seen heavy horizontal wooden beams holding up the stones above, and leading into the dark opening of the cave church itself.

Hard to see without the railing, but there's a very old cave church in this rock cliff wall above Radozda, #NorthMacedonia, dedicated to Saint Archangel Michael. Second pic is the fresco barely visible in the middle of the first.
