A path through the forest leading to a small wooden chapel. The light filters through the trees and makes the place seem peaceful.

Илия Кирилов The chapel looks like an old wooden structure, maybe from the turn of the century, with those thick beams and the low roof.
Ευάγγελος Αναγνώστου Those thick beams really stand out.
Надежда Морозова Those thick beams are typical for constructions in the Eastern Carpathian region, where the local fir, which holds moisture well, was used a lot.
Валентина Соловьёва Those thick fir beams really hold moisture well, you can tell they've been there for decades without rotting.
Fernando García This chapel appears to have been built about 150 years ago, as shown by the joints of the beams without visible nails.
Ксения Лебедева Those thick fir beams look like they were cut with an ax, not a chainsaw. So the chapel is more than 150 years old, I think from around 1800.
Radmila Ilić These thick fir beams really look like they were cut with an axe, so the chapel is clearly older than some were saying. It is dedicated to Saint Elijah, as can be seen from the small icon above the door.
Δέσποινα Χατζή Those thick ax-cut fir beams are also clearly visible in the pictures. The chapel is dedicated to Saint Elias, right?
