Cities are great places but I’ve always enjoyed a walk in the country, above all else….
The Island of Kizhi was one of the most interesting places I’ve visited in a long time. It’s a small island about 3 miles long and only a ½ mile wide. The only way to and from this island is by boat or airfoil in the wintertime.
This wooden Church was built without nails and has 22 timbered onion domes. It was an early Pagan Center and I enjoyed walking from one end of the island to the other.

There is a small group of people living here today but mostly a tourist attraction. They have a heliport landing spot in an emergency and communications with the outside world but it’s very isolated.
The water is clean enough to drink, directly from the lake, and I saw several people carrying buckets from the lake to their homes.
I like the simple life and this church and farmland would be a nice place to spend a few weeks communing with nature.
