The wooden chapel by the lake looks so quiet in this dawn light. It's as if everything around is just silent along with him.

Jelena Popović Nice photo, especially in this light. The chapel is of St. John the Baptist, isn't it?
Irene Wilson Yes, that's St John the Baptist. Nice shot.
Sophia Evans That wooden chapel really stands out against the water at dawn. Nice capture.
ნათია კვარაცხელია Yes, this is the chapel of St. John the Baptist. The tree stands out nicely against the lake in such light.
Elena Barbu Yes, it seems peaceful. Does anyone know what time the services are held there and if you can enter anytime or only on the occasion of the holiday?
Helen Anderson I think services are only on the saint's day. The rest of the time it stays locked.
Αντώνης Κωνσταντίνου Yes, και is usually locked. I really like how the tree looks against the water in this light.
Teodora Popescu Yes, the woodwork looks quite old, maybe from the turn of the last century. You can see the thick beams and how the wood has turned black from time.
Samuel Anderson The beams look pretty thick, must have taken some serious work back then. That dark weathered wood on the sides has held up a long time.
Тарас Шевчук Yes, the chapel is of St. John the Baptist. The wood looks really sturdy, especially those thick beams on the sides.
