Also known as Havariler Kilisesi, this 11th-century Armenian church in Ani, Turkey, was built by the Pahlavuni dynasty. It features a rare inscribed quatrefoil plan with four domed corner chapels and a central dome, once adorned with carved pomegranates and grapes. Hollow clay containers lightened the dome’s weight. The 13th-century south narthex (gavit) blends Armenian and Seljuk styles, with muqarnas vaulting, intricate carvings, and inscriptions on trade and taxes. Once surrounded by mausoleums and a small church, much of the site lies in ruins. Despite this, it remains a testament to Ani’s rich architectural heritage.

Cool! But what is this black thing in the sky? A meteor?

Really nice! If you have those photos in raw (but also in jpeg) I'd suggest to color correct those before training, as some parts are little overexposed. And also to bring out some details in the shadows.
