Wooden Architecture

Chotyniec, Poland view map

Greek-Catholic Church of the Birth of Holy Mother of God, built around 1600. It is all wooden with roofs made of shingle, surrounded with low shed roofs (eaves).
The eaves were for people who were coming for an early morning Sunday mass, they used to arrive from distant villages already on Sat. evening and could hide from rain, wind or snow under this low wooden side roofing, while waiting till the next day.

This is such a photogenic building with such wonderful textures, and the light is gorgeous, bringing the timber to life.
