Protection (Pokrov) of the Most-Holy Theotokos
This church with peach-colored walls and golden domes appears so serene among the trees. I liked the morning light on it.

Χρήστος Βασιλείου It looks beautiful, that peach color matches the morning sky in the area perfectly. I know that in that region they used a lot of yellow clay for plastering since the 18th century.
Софья Смирнова This church with the yellow clay plaster seems to have been built around 1700 or so. The golden domes look good against that backdrop of trees, but I looked more closely at the narrow windows, typical of the style of the time.
Nicholas Anderson The peach walls really catch that early sun without being too bright. Those narrow windows are a nice detail I hadn't noticed before.
Христо Попов Those yellow clay walls hold their color well for so long. The narrow windows and small arches clearly show the early 18th century style, probably 1720-1730.
Христина Панченко Yes, those peach-colored walls catch the light well, but what caught my eye was the roof with its small tiles and its steep slope. It looks solidly built.
Борис Илиев Those yellow clay walls have held up well, but what caught my eye are the small arches above the windows. Clearly style from 1720-1730, as Hristo also says.
Laura Clark The brickwork around the base looks really even, like they took extra care with the courses there. The trees frame it nicely without crowding the walls.
Vesna Đorđević Yes, those narrow windows stand out well against that peach wall.
Олег Мельник Those yellow clay walls really hold their color well after all these years. Does anyone know what time Sunday services start and if the church is open for visitors during the week?
Mária Horváthová Those yellow clay walls really look warm in the morning light. Does anyone know if they still have services every day or just on sundays?
Ελένη Οικονόμου Da, pereții ăia prind bine lumina fără să orbească. Știi exact unde e biserica asta și când ai făcut poza?
