White church in winter Photo

Photographer’s Note

Kargopol is situated on both sides of the Onega River in Arkhangelsk Oblast. It is not clear when Kargopol was founded, but, when first chronicled in 1146. During its golden age in the 17th century, Kargopol became home to a highly localised brand of medieval Russian architecture. Quite a few wooden and white stone churches survive in the town and its vicinity. One of these buildings is the the church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin (1690).

Hello Tatiana
Beautifull white landscape. The snow and the white walls give a strange homogeneity. Light also is amazing.
Very well done
Bertrand

Hi, Tatiana. A very nice church with its silver bulbs. Its white stands out beautifully against the snow and the sky. The trees on either side frame the building well. The path is a good lead into the image. Very good light.
Have a nice Sunday,
Philippe

Hello Tatiana
L'église semble constitué de neige, l'exposition réussie contribue au leurre. Le point de vue et le cadrage est parfait avec ces arbres à droite et à gauche les habitations.
Very well done.

Hello Tatiana,
A crystal clear winter view of the church, all in white and silver matching with the snow and under a marvellous light blue sky.
A pleasure to look at.

Hello Tatiana,these Russian churches are so distinctive in style;and this one is beautiful with its silver domes.
The snow adds to the composition,as does the brilliant blue sky.

Hello Tatiana,
Something that is not supposed to work well, a white church on a white snow but you did a great job. Well composed, very good looking blue color worked well with all that blue.
Thanks!
