EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the breathtaking beauty of Kizhi Island, located on Lake Onega in Karelia, Russia. The focal point of this image is the magnificent Church of the Transfiguration, with its intricate wooden architecture and iconic onion domes. The roof of the church is adorned with 22 domes, each crowned with a delicate cross, showcasing the rich heritage of Russian Orthodox Christianity. The architectural brilliance displayed in this photograph highlights Kizhi Island as a must-visit destination for tourists and enthusiasts alike. Its unique wooden structures stand as a testament to centuries-old craftsmanship and religious devotion. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported to a bygone era where religion played an integral role in shaping communities. The juxtaposition between Europe and Asia becomes evident through this photograph; Kizhi Island lies at the crossroads between Eastern Europe and Eurasia. It serves as a reminder of Russia's vast cultural diversity within its borders. Nick Laing has expertly captured not only the physical grandeur but also the spiritual significance that emanates from this sacred place. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it is an invitation to explore history, religion, and architectural marvels all in one frame.
