Михайловский скит

Under a vast, star-studded sky, the wooden church of Mikhailovsky Skete stands illuminated against the deep blue of a frosty night. Snow blankets the ground and rooftops, creating a quiet, almost sacred stillness. The warm glow from the windows contrasts with the cool tones of the night, highlighting the rustic charm of the structure. This remote spiritual outpost, nestled in the Russian wilderness, evokes a sense of peace and timelessness. Photographer Nikolay Britkov captures the scene with remarkable clarity and emotional depth.
