Dormition of the Most-Holy Theotokos
This yellow and white church with two bulbous baths stands so calm under the sun. It looks very nice.

Ondřej Novák This is a typical Ukrainian дерев'яна церква, the onion-shaped mines are very nicely shaped on it. How old is she actually?
Elizabeth Johnson The wooden siding looks pretty weathered, so I'd guess it's at least 150 years old. Those onion domes are really well proportioned though.
Κώστας Θεοδώρου Nice analogy on the roofs.
Dhimitër Thanasi And what wood is it built from?
Luke Hall The onion domes are nicely balanced but the wooden walls have that heavy grain you only get from hand-hewn logs. I'd say closer to 200 years, the way the corners have settled.
Илья Морозов The church looks strong, although the wood is already well weathered. Here in the Kuban, pine was also often built, it keeps its shape well even after 180 years.
