Photographer Natalya Davydova captured this beauty in Коневец (Konevets). Many village churches remain closed but thankfully more and more are being repaired from decades of Soviet neglect and restored.
Konevets is a small community on an island on the southwestern shore of Lake Ladoga in the Leningrad Oblast (St. Petersburg region). It is nice when churches such as this one are given new life to serve their communities.
