There is a Basil plant in the kitchen. While standing in front of the sink looking at it, I noticed what looks like faces in the leaves. Think it has feelings?

Saint Basil's Cathedral is a Russian Orthodox church erected on Red Square in Moscow in 1555–61 on orders from Ivan the Terrible. It commemorates the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan.
St. Basil's marks the geometric center of Moscow. It has been the hub of the city's growth since the 14th century and was the city's tallest building until the completion of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in 1600.
I was fed up with cheddar cheese and bought this goat cheese with basil.
Beautiful, fresh and yummy !
St Basils cathedral was built to commemorate the Russian capture of Kazan and Astrakhan during the rule of Ivan the terrible, in the center of what is now red square. Construction took six years from 1555 - 1561. There was a drastic change in the attitude of the orthodox church to colors through the 17th century this is the time that st Basils began displaying the vivid colors we see today

I’ve posted a photograph of Moscow’s St.Basil Cathedral before, but I didn’t really give you a lot of information about it at the time. The full name of the cathedral is the Cathedral of Intercession of Theotokos on the Moat and it was built between 1555 and 1561 marking the center of Moscow and commemorating the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan. The strange thing about this cathedral is the fact that there was no other similar Russian building at the time when it was built and even afterwards it was not exactly reproduced in any other city. The Church of Our Saviour on Spilled Blood located in St.Petersburg was inspired by the St.Basil Cathedral, but the architecture is still quite different.
Although my previous shot of the cathedral was quite impressive because of the strong colours, for the shot below I went on a completely different route with the processing, tone-mapping it first with Photomatix from 5 exposures and then converting it to black and white using an infrared equivalent filter in Photoshop. As always, I would love to hear your comments.

..."There are over 40 known varieties of basil of which Ocimum basilicum or Sweet Basil is the most commonly known and grown. Ocimum is from a Greek verb that means "to be fragrant." The foliage is easily bruised; just brushing against its foliage releases its wonderfully spicy fragrance...Basil is native to India and Asia having been cultivated there for more than 5,000 years..."

For FGR: Invasion of Someone else's glasses
For The Rogue Players: Story Poople (yes, I said POOPLE!):
Basil always had the soul of an artist, but the instincts of an attack dog, so of course he went into retail, sporting chic shades...
