Stone temple in honor of the Savior Not Made by Hands (Savior Church) in the Sergino tract not far (0.5 km north) from the village of Fatyanovo. The temple is a courtyard of the Staritsky Holy Assumption Monastery (Staritsa, Tver Region)
In 1914 in the village. Sergino had two temples - wooden and stone. The wooden temple in the name of the Savior Not Made by Hands was built in 1766, with one chapel - in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. The builder of the temple is a local landowner Alexei Petrovich Izmailov. The wooden bell tower was brought from the town of Staritsa from the church of Simeon the Stylite back in 1867. The stone church had the same name - in the name of the Savior Not Made by Hands and was built in 1897. The church had two chapels: the right one - in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and the left one - the Protection of the Most Holy Mother of God. The iconostasis was painted by the artist Shishkin.
The church was a double-height quadrangle crowned with five domes, with a refectory and a hipped bell tower.
During the Soviet period, the Church of the Savior was closed and devastated, the altar part and the refectory were destroyed.
Currently, the church is not functioning, it needs to be restored.

Каменный храм в честь Спаса Нерукотворного Образа (Спасская церковь) в урочище Сергино недалеко (0,5 км к северу) от деревни Фатьяново. Храм явяляется подворьем Старицкого Свято-Успенского мужского монастыря (г. Старица, Тверская область)
В 1914 г. в с. Сергино было два храма - деревянный и каменный. Деревянный храм во имя Спаса Нерукотворного построен в 1766 г., с одним приделом - во имя Николая Чудотворца. Строитель храма - местный помещик Алексей Петрович Измайлов. Деревянная колокольня была привезена из г. Старицы от церкви Симеона Столпника еще в 1867 г. Каменный храм носил такое же название - во имя Спаса Нерукотворного и был построен 1897 г. Церковь имела два придела: правый - во имя Николая Чудотворца и левый - Покрова Пресвятой Богородицы. Живопись иконостаса выполнил художник Шишкин.
Церковь представляла собой двухсветный четверик, увенчанный пятью главами, с трапезной и шатровой колокольней.
В советский период Спасская церковь была закрыта и разорена, разрушены алтарная часть и трапезная.
В настоящее время церковь не действует, требует восстановления.

Resting among the Autumn heather on the shores of Loch Muick in the Scottish Highlands, this Red Deer stag was very chilled out and was letting me get closer and closer seemingly without a care in the world.

Our house in Scotland being sold, one week before we move away back to Dinnington, where I grew up and where my family still is including the grandkids, we decided to take one last circuit around Loch Muick, the first place we explored when we moved up 15 years ago. It's still as stunning as ever and I will certainly miss this kind of scenery.
