the spirit of the north
Solovetsky Monastery was an another great attraction for me for years. It was found in 1429 and used to be a place of strong people, full of spirit and faith. For a long time in XX century, these islands in White Sea were the place of GULAG. For all the Russians this place represents the power and the fortitude of the spirit.

We visited this place in the best time of the year, when the sky is clear and the temperature is higher than 0 Celcius:-) Here is the early morning panorama of 3 shots, hdr. Original size - 7796x4210 pics.
Thank you for all the comments and favs, my friends.
