Village wooden church

Zaplavnoye village, Borsky district, Samara region. One of the attractions of the village is the old wooden church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. It was built in 1910, or more precisely, it was rebuilt from the old one. Like all churches during Soviet times, it was closed and used as a granary. The village residents preserved the church icons and returned them to the temple. On the territory of the temple there is the grave of Archpriest Stefan Akashev, who was rector here in the 70s

That blue really sets things off! What a lovely spot and great shots!

I was very lucky with the weather - if there were clouds or gray clouds, there would not be such an effect.🙂
