On The Sleep Of Plants, Animals, And Humans In Winter ...

The Armenian Church, Virmenskij Sabor, in Lviv, Ukraine. The Church was first completed in the 14th Century, and this belltower was built in 1571. It is very impressive and its four corners are formed like colonnas and each has a small tower. The entrance to the Church itself is located in a yard with ancient tombstones, which can be entered from two of the oldest streets of Lviv's Old Town Center.

With deep thanks to my faithful readers these past six months, and with best wishes for the Holiday Seasons and the New Year. I hope to return to posting after the New Year -- which began with the Winter Solstice -- has completed one lunar cycle.
