Archangel Mikhail’s Church Photo

Photographer’s Note

This church (1783 - 1880) in urban village of Krasnokutsk was the first stop in the second day of our two-day bike trip over old Ukrainian estates in Kharkivska oblast. In this regional administrative center a famous arboretum (botanical garden), former estate of Karazins family (from which the founder of Kharkiv University Vasiliy Karazin and his brother, founder of this arboretum Ivan Karazin came) are situated.

Krasnokutsk (or Krasniy Kut, which means “picturesque place”) was founded in 1651 by Cossacks as a strengthened point for defending Russian Empire’s frontiers from Tatars’ attacks. Now it is the capital of a rural region and the center of an important gas field. The number of its citizens is around 10 thousands.

Hello Sergiy,

An another superb and original coloured church very good use of vertical format and framing well selected. I like especially the nice harmony of the blue color of the church and of the sky.
Have a nice evening,
Roger

Hi Sergiy
This white and blue church is awesome. Its architectural style is lovely. The point of view is very good as well as the natural framing on the right side. Sharpness is excellent and the note useful. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards
Denis!

Zdravo Sergiy. I love the Ukrainian colour schemes for their churches.the blue is in harmony with the blue skies and even looks beautiful in the snow. Imposing architecture and a most effective POV. Regards. Klaudio.
