from L'Viv, Ukraine

Orthodox Church in L'Viv

This old structure dates back to the 12th century, but it is still in use today. L'Viv is a very old classic Ukrainian city full of beautiful architecture.

Ukrainian Countryside

Many times we imagine that foreign locations look very different from home. As you can see, this view could well be mistaken for Berks county, not the former Soviet Union.

Old Catholic Church Building

This old church building was built in the 11th century. Ukrainians love their history and are very proud of landmarks. This entire church is built of wood and is still in service to the community.

L'Viv from Old Castle Remains

This view of the city's apartments is typical of eastern Europe and former soviet block nations. Notice the dome of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the lower right foreground. This view of the city is from the highest point in L'Viv — a place where emperors once ruled!

L'Viv Downtown

Cobblestone streets, old world styles and small outdoor cafes, are reminders that in this part of the world life is very different. Hurry up and wait are the norms here in a culture that is not time driven, but event oriented.
