Photographer's Note
Old Ladoga's classic - in the fortress's courtyard stands small wooden church of St Dmitriy of Solun'. Church built in year 1613. St Dmitry was a saint protector of militaries, especially of the Princes, so definitely some commander-in-chief ordered to built it. At the back is the Gate Tower of the fortress, built in XV century.

Great shot, that really conveys the impression of Russia. The old wooden church, with the dome and the Orthodox cross on it, topped off with the snow and ice. Good detail and colour - well done!
