Pinega Settlement

Image

View over frozen expanse, probably the Pinega River, of the Pinega settlement in northern Russia. There are many wooden structures and dwellings along a low rise on what is probably the shoreline. Two tall buildings in the distance are what appear to be a church with towers and onion domes, and a bell tower.
