Rooski cont'd

This is the church at the island of Kizhi. No nails used in the contruction !!! Beautiful. Now how did that #4 get in my pic? Some over eager guide group jumped in my pic !Another shot of this church. Truly amazing.
Wowzer. Words fail me.
Icons abound here. Really beautiful they are too. There were a bunch of singing monks here as well and they were quite good.
A family that lived here, in a nearby village. The monk looks very Rasputin like. These would have been fairly well to do people. The woman's hairstylist should be shot, though.
