Triptych Week .4 / by Dave Hileman

Along the coast of Alaska there is a village that retains much of its Russian origin. The fishing fleet here is known as the Russian Fleet and there are several buildings from the time when this was owned by Russia. The most interesting aspect of this heritage is the Russian Orthodox Church on a hill overlooking the village. One of the photos is taken from the cemetery where many of the graves were festooned with American flags designating American soldiers from WWI, WWIi and Korea.
