Here...


Holy Ascension Ukrainian Orthodox Church at Westbrook was built in 1919.  


Five wooden Orthodox crosses adorn the cupolas and peak-ends of the curved roof.


A hall for celebrations.  


The centre cupola has an exquisitely shaped roof.


Winter's late afternoon sunlight inside the church.


The balcony on the far left is above the front doors.


The outdoor altar is decorated with a chalice.


The cemetery is just across the road from the church...


...where there is a wooden bell tower...


...and granite memorial marker.


A long-distance view of the church.


The cemetery has burials dating back over ten years before the church was built.


Winter's late afternoon light is fading quickly...


...casting long blue shadows over the snow.
