Desolate or Comfortable

 Vybuty in the Pskov Province
198 piece jigsaw puzzle

I don't know what "Vybuty in the Pskov Province" means. Google Translates Vybuty as 'go out' or 'knocked out'. It sounds like those Star Trek aliens who only speak in metaphors.

Google Maps didn't have any trouble locating it.

Here we have another view of the same building from 1500 feet away.

Looking at the original picture I was torn between thinking whether this looked like a cozy rural setting or a remote desolate  outpost. So much depends on the context. In movies, it depends on the music. Spooky music and this place could look very grim. Cheerful music and it could be very comfortable.

In truth the place is about 150 miles southwest of St. Petersburg (Leningrad for all you die hard commies out there) and ten miles east of Estonia.
