FWIW, the photo of the Monastery of St. Nil' shown below is on an island in Lake Seliger, near where a part of my family had their estate. The estate was given them by Peter the Great... by that time, there was already a monastery on the island, and I am informed that many of my ancestors are buried there.
Thanks Bill; for me this is what photography is really about, the social history, thank-goodness for the far thinking of the photograph and indeed Czar Nicholas
