Switzerland. Geneva.The Russian Church (full name: Cathédrale de l'Exaltation de la Sainte Croix) is designed in a Byzantine Moscovite style. The church is a lovely 19th-century Russian Orthodox church topped with golden onion domes. The roof and all onion domes undergo a complete revival restoration by the roofing company « Cerutti Toitures SA ». A newly restored copper bulb with his new cross. The restored copper bulb and the cross will later get a pre-coated yellow paint before gilding with golden leaves. A worker from Implenia with his red hard hat. An onion dome is a dome whose shape resembles an onion. Such domes are often larger in diameter than the drum upon which they sit, and their height usually exceeds their width. These bulbous structures taper smoothly to a point. Implenia is the largest construction company in Switzerland. 25.04.2016 © 2016 Didier Ruef
