The Entry of the Most Holy Theotokos into the Temple nunnery.

Weather conditions like that must always be avoided, but unfortunately there was no alternative on my way back from Tervenichi. Let's play with contrasts, if we have no other option. An old Nikkor worked its best here. 

Northern view from a river bank. Kit 24-85 mm lens, f14, 1/50s, CPL filter.

The old Nikkor works as usual, featuring fantastically deep space. The trick here was in a closed aperture. I'll make no secret of that: f16, 1/60 s, CPL filter. 

Another view from a stream flowing into the river. Not the best one, since absence of clouds resulted in polarization circles that couldn't be removed. Kit lens, f14, 1/40s, CPL filter.    

A view from the western gates. Kit lens, f14, 1/60s, CPL filter. A strange yellow smoke is seen here. Do nuns use sulfur additives or a cheap coal?

 

 A general view of the nunnery from chapels situated near a water well. Nikkor AIS 28 mm, f16, 1/80, CPL filter.
