Forefeast of Dormition
The light spreads so evenly across that meadow you almost don't notice the church sitting way off in the distance. Makes the whole place feel quiet in a way that's hard to explain.

Tomáš Baláž I can see how the gray roof of the church blends in completely with the surrounding trees, one would almost miss it. Nice photo.
Катерина Ангеловска The church looks like it's from the 18th century, with that low wall and narrow windows. The stone on the walls is rough, not even smoothed.
Petru Ciobanu Yes, that little church gets completely lost in the tall grass. It was as if it had been put there for a long time and no one had touched it since.
Софья Беляева It would be nice to go there and see it in person, otherwise you can hardly see it in the photo.
Gregory Morris Yeah the church almost disappears behind that tall grass. I read the stone came from the local quarry just a couple miles up the road.
Bogdan Nistor The church is dedicated to Saint Nicholas. The grass has grown so tall it's almost covering the stone foundation, you think it's going to be gone by fall.
Hannah Collins The roofline is lower than I expected for a 17th-century build. The local limestone they used always weathers to that same dull grey within twenty years.
