[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery entrance in Kirillov the small town on the north of Vologda region. Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery was founded in the XIV century as fortress on the north border of Moscow principality at time when Russian lands was not in union.
Now it's museum with very big walls & several churches in North-Russian style. There is a fantastic atmosphere in this monastery like every stone keep memory of the time past.
