The Church of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God (other name is the Old Ascension Church) is a wooden Orthodox church in the city of Torzhok, Tver Region of Russia.
The first mention of the temple in the clerical record dates back to 1653. The wooden building was built on the right, high, bank of Tvertsa. The height of the temple is 34 meters. Since the temple was wooden, it was redone many times. In the 1780s, a foundation of white old stone was laid under the building (on one of them the year 1782 was knocked out). In 1783, the back roof was replaced by iron, in 1806 the porch was built, and in 1828 the head was redone. By 1854, the temple was dilapidated and it was decided to build a new stone one in return.
In the middle of the XIX century, parishioners decided to build a new stone Ascension Church near the wooden church. It was supposed to destroy the old church, and use the material from it in a new one or sell it in another parish. But the Archbishop of Tver Filofei (Uspensky) forbade the demolition of "such a wonderful church both in antiquity and in architecture." As a result, a new stone Ascension Church was built, in 1858 the warm Zosimo-Savvatievskaya church was demolished, but the old wooden Ascension Church remained standing.
However, the temple was not demolished, but was transferred to the Staritsky tract. By 1883, the temple was reconstructed and on October 5 it was re-consecrated in honor of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God.
In Soviet times, church services ceased in 1929. There was a plan to transfer the temple to the Museum of Wooden Architecture in Vasilevo near Torzhok.
In the mid-1970s and early 1980s, restoration and research work was carried out. In the 2000s, worship services resumed in the summer.
The temple preserved painting of the XVIII century, and in the lower tiers of the painting of the second half of the XIX century. In the ceiling of the upper tier is an octagonal niche with the image of the New Testament Trinity.

Lunar eclipse on 3 March 2026, seen from Sapporo. This shot, captured shortly after totality, shows the Moon's southern latitudes reemerging from the Earth's umbra.
The seeing was poor due to a hazy sky, and it required some aggressive GIMPing to extract anything reasonable from the RAW files. While the quality is rough, I like the feel of the shot; it reminds me of old imagery from the early lunar probes.

The true finches are small to medium-sized passerine birds in the family Fringillidae. Finches have stout conical bills adapted for eating seeds and often have colourful plumage. They occupy a great range of habitats where they are usually resident and do not migrate. They have a worldwide distribution except for Australia and the polar regions. The family includes species known as siskins, canaries, redpolls, serins, grosbeaks and euphonias. Many birds in other families are also commonly called "finches". These groups include: the estrildid finches (Estrildidae) of the Old World tropics and Australia; some members of the Old World bunting family (Emberizidae) and the American sparrow family (Passerellidae); and the Darwin's finches of the Galapagos islands, now considered members of the tanager family (Thraupidae). Finches and canaries were used in the UK, Canada and USA in the coal mining industry, to detect carbon monoxide from the eighteenth to twentieth century. This practice ceased in the UK in 1986. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finch
