Kizhi church a bit closer

Kizhi church a bit closer:

Picture size: smallnormallarge 

From the water the full complex of wooden churches is seen: The church of Transfiguration (Preobrazheniya Gospodnya) has lots of heads.

Amazingly, the island can be seen for a half of an hour (walking by feet, and there is no transport). It is so small...

It is allowed to walk only by wooden covering, not step to ground. And they says that poisonous snakes are in grass - but it is bullshit. They simply dont want people to go when people want.

Earlier photos:
Seagulls at Onego Lake: they are flying after the deck and try to catch pieces of bread people throw to them.
Kizhi from very far: these green islands are the visiting card of the region.
You see this now:
Kizhi at Onego Lake: this is a wonderful village of wooden architecture.
