| The Church of the Transfiguration in Kizhi Pogost, Karelia, Russia, features intricate wooden onion domes arranged in tiers. The structure showcases traditional Russian carpentry with interlocking logs forming the walls. The domes are topped with Orthodox crosses, and their distinctive bulbous shape is clad in a shimmering wooden texture, creating a contrast against the clear blue sky. The design exemplifies the craftsmanship and architectural ingenuity of Russian Orthodox wooden churches, part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. A seagull perches on the roof, adding life to the scene. |
