This work is one of the series dedicated to the orthodox temples of my native region. It shows a bright scene with a temple over the river rising above the small houses. The sky is bright and stresses the temple. Though there are many houses around, the temple remains separate, calm and majestic and is in the center of the composition. This symbolizes the priority of spiritual values over the daily troubles.
