This color image of the interior of the old Russian Orthodox Church in Eklutna shows the colorful front panels, paintings and other objects in the building. Wheat-colored fabric covers the walls and ceiling, held in place with wooden strips. Rugs on the wooden floor lead up to the alter where the alter cloth exhibits a black image of the Orthodox cross. A local man, identified as Mike Alex, dressed in light tan jacket and pants, stands facing the camera at left. Mr. Alex is identified as caretaker of the church for many years.
