«Overview Saint Sergius Lavra from Blinnaya Hill in Winter»

View from an observation platform at Blinnaya hill on the magnificent architectural ensemble of Holy Trinity-Saint Sergius Lavra with a small Chapel of the Pyatnitsky Well in Sergiyev Posad in a winter season. The famous top-ranked monastery is the most important center of Russian Orthodoxy very often called the Russian Vatican.
