Ciao Alex,the presence of the monk gives a decisive touch to the scene, the details of the Orthodox architecture at the entrance are also very beautiful.

Hello, Aleksandar!
Not only this is a beautiful image and the presence of the monk raised the bar, I also learned what voivode means. Thanks for both.
However, those tilted pilars drive me mad :)
