Village in Ukraine

,

I got these pictures from englishrussia.com and they are from a village, near Kiev. Made by Alexander Mihailenko. People believe it is a fairy place.






Does anyone know if this place is really true? And what's its name?

Let's laugh a little bit

Kasia, I'd love to go to Ukraine, my maternal great-grandparents are from there. And if you have the opportunity to visit this city, take some pics and let me know! smile

Olga, I've seen the pics Почтальон Печкин sent me, and it doesn't seem so scary at all! p I guess the photographer wanted it to be scary.
