Monastic Smile

Zymne, Ukraine

To answer questions - this nun is holding a key to the monastery churches and chapels.
She is the only one that can meet outside people and show them the monastery, tell the history. She serves as a guide.

Great photograph! That,s not a key or dagger... it's the hook for her other hand!

She looks very content. Beautiful portrait!

I like the framing and the draped figure. But what is she/he holding in her left hand? The monastary key or a dagger??

Is it a monk, or a nun, strangely androgynous - the outfit probably doesn't help ;-) But a superb 'other side'!!
