A few minutes in Kyiv. Drones and a power outage not on the schedule. Someone is stuck in the elevator. My upstairs neighbour is going to look after her mum (97) in Sumy, closer to the frontline. A woman on the street asks where the nearest shelter is. I see her fear and take her to a safe place.

This is the dome of the Boim Chapel (1609-1615) in Lviv. It was a burial chapel for the wealthy Boim family. At today’s lecture, I saw this dome again. Next time I’m in Lviv, I’ll go inside the chapel and show you. As promised earlier. Gorgeous.
