"A Small Yard in Moscow"

Amazingly, I thought I'd blipped this church about two weeks ago. Turns out it was almost two months ago, on 17 October 2014. This is the Church of St Nicholas on the Sands at Arbat, now in its 302nd winter since its current structure was built in 1711. It's also seen some history (to put it mildly) in the 136 winters since Vasily Polenov depicted it in his "A Small Yard in Moscow".

Compare the two blips - winter and autumn.
