Another view of the dacha

The dacha, or Russian country house, is a romanticized interpretation of a small peasant house and represents a nostalgic view of Russian culture. It was built in 1969, during the Cold War, and is used for special exhibits at the estate. There are eagles on the roof.

'Spectacular' exhibit, amethyst ring, posted earlier:

Nikon D810 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/125s f/8.0 at 24.0mm iso320 full exif

Super shot of this attractive house. Interesting how uniform the logs are, like a Panabode or what we call "rolled" logs. V

What a beautiful little cabin in the trees - made special by the touches of decoration.
