virtuosity of carpenters

without loving what you do it would be impossible to produce this masterpiece.
one of the jewels I have ever seen in my numerous travels all over the world is in kizhi island in
karelia, russia.
this church of the transfiguration built in 1714 demonstrates the masterwork of periods carpenters, who were able to construct these very complex shapes and amazingly harmonious curves of twenty two onion shaped domes clad in aspen wood tiles without even using a single nail.


this island is an example of a civilization based on wood and the wood came from far away, this
is why I argue, you can not achieve a work like this without love, love of what you do......


a great place to visit.
