Hampton Court roof tops and chimneys.

It's wonderful how the sun can light up the whole tree line in one minute and then let the shadows pass over only to come back and rim the tops of the trees in gold.

Thank you for the views and lovely comment's my friends...

It was just a very ordinary walk in the same Helsinki suburb surroundings, still with patches of ice here and there, but sun already was shining warmer and friendlier than a couple of weeks ago. And then behind a turn of the path opened a view over a little bay, and sunlight fell on the tops of last year dropworts in so marvelous angle that all the scene was flooded with light... I deliberately let the flare come into the photo, because it reveals the feeling from that moment like fairies would be dancing in the branches and chasing the winter away. :-)

The church has been delivered to the museum from Kysorychi village in Rokytnivskyi district of Rivnenska Region. It was built by local masters at the end of 18th Century. According to M. Teodorovych, its tops were changes in 1871, and it became one-domed instead of three-domed. Reports of Emperor’s archeological expedition witness that at the beginning of 20th Century (in 1909) the church had to be dismounted due to its emergency state. Although, it was not broken down due to high artistic value of its iconostasis. The iconostasis did not survive until nowadays, except for only four fragments of a unique hewn altar.

As of the moment of purchase there of by the museum in 1978, there were no domes at all. In this connection, they have been re-made according to Polissia typology. The reconstruction was headed by the author of Polissia display, Vergovskyi S.V., inasmuch contours of old ones remained unknown.

This is a religious building; its dimensions are 15.9 x 7.3 m; total area: 116.07 square meters.

This is a building of three rooms, built of pine-tree timbers. The walls are fixed with halving cutouts, made in upper parts of the timbers. The square aisle of the church is its smallest room (4.9 x 4.9), the nave is also square and the biggest one (7.3 x 7.3); the altar room is also almost square (5.3 x 5). The central part is the widest one; its walls extend beyond the side timbers. The church is not covered with planks. The all three floors thereof are tent-shaped. The whole construction is supported by oak piles vidzemky, imbedded around the perimeter.

The premises of the church house a permanent exposition “Religion antiques of Ukraine”. It displays the pieces of arts: icons, triple candleholders, sculptures, church’ bowls of 18th – 20th Century.

Церква Воскресіння Ісуса Христа - Воскресенська церква з села Кисоричі, Рокитнівського району Рівненської області, 1789 рік.

До музею церква перевезена з Рівненської області, Рокитнівського району, село Кисоричі. Вона споруджена місцевими майстрами. Датується кінцем ХVІІІ ст.

Належить до архаїчного типу, поширеного на Поліссі — тризрубна, завершена трьома шатровими розділами з невеликими маківками.

За М. Теодоровичем її верхи були змінені у 1871 р. і церква з триверхої стала одноверхою. З повідомлень імператорської археологічної комісії випливає, що вже на початку ХХ ст. (у 1909 р.) церкву цю хотіли розібрати у зв’язку з аварійним станом. Однак, через високу мистецьку цінність її іконостасу церкву залишили цілою. На сьогодення іконостас не зберігся, а до наших днів дійшли лише чотири фрагменти унікального рубленого престолу.

На момент купівлі музеєм у 1978 р. верхи в ній були відсутні. У зв’язку з цим вони були заново виконані за поліською типологією під керівництвом автора експозиції «Полісся» Верговського С.В., оскільки абриси старих лишилися невідомими.

Культова споруда. Габаритні розміри: 15.9 х 7.3 м. Загальна площа: 116.07 м2.

Будівля у плані трикамерна, зведена з соснового кругляка. При спорудженні зрубу застосована врубка «в чашку», драчка вибрана у верхніх частинах колод. Квадратний у плані бабинець церкви найменший за розмірами (4,9 х 4,9 м.), нава також у плані квадратна – найбільша за розмірами (7,3 х 7,3 м.), вівтар у плані чотирикутний (5,3 х 5 м.).

Центральна частина по ширині найбільша і виступає стінами за бічні зруби. Церква не шальована. Три її верхи шатрового типу. Уся споруда тримається на дубових стоянах-відземках, закопаних по периметру у землю.

У приміщенні церкви експонується постійно діюча виставка «Церковні старожитності України» в якій експонуються твори мистецтва: ікони, троєсвічники, скульптури, церковні карнавки ХУІІІ-ХХ ст.

"Doubly happy, however, is the man to whom lofty mountain tops are within reach."

- John Muir

“I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, I thought, "This is what it is to be happy.”

Fire damage is starting to fade in this section of the Smoky Mountains devastated a few years earlier when some individuals thought it would be fun to hike to the top and shoot off fireworks.

Happy Monochrome Bokeh Thursday ;o)

One from the archives, taken at Leith Hall gardens on a windy October day. I had no idea what it was I'd shot, and I've finally realised it is the remains of clematis flower heads! This year I bought more clematis plants, and some of the varieties produce these curling mop tops ... so at last I know!

Hope you had fun with Halloween - it was quiet here and too cold for many of the young ones to be out in the dark. So we had a welcome, restful evening after a manic start to the week.
