The starkness of this simple chuch in the middle of nowhere just struck me. There's something more about it that I can't put my finger on ...

Wooden Chapel on the Site of Old Belozersk

First mentioned in Russian chronicles for the year 862 A.D., the town of Belozersk or "White Lake" was abandoned and relocated several times. The original settlement, commemorated here by a small nineteenth-century wooden chapel, was on the north side of the White Lake in north central European Russia.
