Churches and mountains; photograph from the album Vilnius, volume 1; Jan Bulhak 1876–1950; Vilnius, 1912; scenes: Bernardine Church Vilnius, St. Anne's Church Vilnius, St. Michael's Church Vilnius, panoramas; photographic print: 9.5 × 16.3 cm; album page: 31.0 × 23.5 cm., The image shows a snowy scene with a group of rooftops and ornate church towers in the foreground and a hilly, wooded landscape behind them. Visible colors include shades of gray, off-white, beige, and muted brown. The foreground contains several pitched roofs covered in snow, chimneys, and scaffolding near a light-colored building with decorative architectural details. Clustered behind and beside that building are darker, more ornate spires and domes with layered shapes and pointed tops. In the background a series of pale, snow-covered hills rise, punctuated by darker tree lines and bare trees on the slopes, creating a contrast between the lighter hills and the darker wooded ridges. The whole scene is framed by a pale margin around the image.
