Pictures from Belaya Gora

This Cathedral (part of a monastery) stands 'in the middle of nowhere' about 2 hrs from Perm in a commanding position and was recommended to me by Perm's branch manager. It was a very special place and also gave a picture about the problem of dieing villages in the country...

On the way...

The old man and his church... he even spoke a a little German...

But the village is dieing....

Approaching...

The country is vast...view from Belaya Gora

....and before restauration...

 ....and what is being done in the church...

....and a description of the tragic events of 1918....

...and another typical village....
