Червона церква взимку


Red church in winter.


The octagonal dome stands tall above the church.


Leafless trees...


...and a swirl of clouds in a blue sky over the cemetery.


It's unusual so see the cupolas and dome covered with asphalt shingles.


Light passing through the church bring this pair of gold-coloured windows to life.


I'm sure there are times when the blue-painted lanterns below the cupolas are indistinguishable from the colour of the sky.


A view of the church and bell tower from the road.


Officially named Saint John Apostle the Theologian (or Saint John Bohoslow Krasne Ukrainian Catholic Church), depending on which historical records are consulted.  It is known to the locals as Krasne Church.

  1. This one is very impressive! Even better (even tho' I hate to admit it) is how it looks against the snow.
