 * Comment I prefer a picture taken form the front or back side clearly showing the crosses, whenever possible. A caption as in the article (Cathedral of Our Lady of Smolensk (16th century)) is needed here too. J Kadavoor J e e 06:17, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose I have to agree with Jkadavoor, not a good angle. — raeky  t  08:09, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
 * It seems like it is the front...--Tomcat (7) 11:16, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
 * By the orientation of the crosses, it seems not. Would be rather poor form to put them on in the wrong direction in relation to the front of the building. It appears to be a shot of the side of the building. This would be an image from the front, sort of. If you google the church there's plenty of different angles and this is clearly not the front. — raeky  t  11:36, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Good to know. However, I saw churches that had a rather unnatural position, even the crosses :) Regards.--Tomcat (7) 11:40, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
 * An Eastern Church (and it's crosses) should always faces the east. J Kadavoor J e e 15:49, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
