The winter snow blankets the landscape and frosts the trees as the sunset lighting breaks through the scattered clouds highlighting a Russian Orthodox Church in Kenai, Alaska in the USA. The church is known as the Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary and was declared as a National Historic landmark in Kenai, Alaska in 1970.
This Russian Orthodox Church was built in 1894 and it is the second oldest one in Alaska with the first one being located on Kodiak Island. The church is still used today for regular Sunday services and volunteers from the church will provide visitors with a tour during the summer months.
This church is one of three buildings on this property, all having onion-shaped domes and all constructed from logs. Under the winter landscape, a graveyard, a small park and a reproduction of Ft Kenai can also be found on this property. The winter scene and the sunset lighting add a special touch to these heritage buildings.
