The picture shows a log hut under a V-shaped roof and on a boulder foundation in the village of Yendoguba. Fishing nets and clothes are drying under the three windows in the house’s façade. The settlement Yendoguba is located on a narrow peninsula protruding deep into Lake Sumozero. The village’s feature is its cult grove with the village cemetery. The residential houses arranged on a stony and sandy spit combines fragments of one-row and two-row riverside and street layout. Abstract by O.G. Baranova
