Attempt number two is to capture graphic natural scenes in the Park of the 50th anniversary of October, which is located in the Lukyanovo neighborhood on the outskirts of Vologda. And this attempt was

I love cyclical behavior, but in a way that is unpredictable and unplanned. That is, the awareness of cyclicity should occur after, and not before, its manifestation. Once a year in spring, according to

The first greenery of the year does not appear on the ground, but on the trees. Foliage appears before the grass. And I, according to tradition, photograph the first truly spring natural manifestations.

It was still the smoldering remnants of a large-scale reporting wave that originated in me as early as three years ago. I am very grateful for the manifestation of natural creative cycles, because thanks

It's already the height of spring in my soul, green leaves, warmth and birds singing...in fact, due to the cold weather, the buds have only broken through (this is my feeling at the time of shooting, now,

I can't wait for new camera angles to appear after the commissioning of the new Nekrasovsky Bridge. In the meantime, we have to photograph it from afar and imagine how the architectural appearance of the

It is quite rare, probably even the first time, that I convey a snowstorm through architectural subjects rather than through street photography. A spring snowfall after complete snowmelt, also manifested

It's the same thing every year, and I'm so used to it that if it doesn't happen, then something unusual will happen. Snowfall in April after the snow melts completely is the norm for Vologda! The winter

In April 2026, the moon was called Pink. All the names of the moons were given by the Indians of North America, and now many other countries around the world have adopted the tradition of naming full moons.

The pine grove on the banks of the Ema River has become one of my favorite places in the Vologda region. The light of the rising moon (and from the A114 highway) brightened the night landscape, and a light

An old boat stands on the shore of Vologda in the village of Kuvshinovo. I tried to get to him in the winter, but a lot of snow did not allow me to get to the place. I don't understand the brands and types

Those were the first really warm days. I wanted a spring atmosphere and I went to the Spaso-Prilutsky Monastery. The monastery is always cozy...It can't be otherwise! At this point, I had already made

This year I missed an ice drift on the Vologda River. But I don't think this is a big omission, since the ice drift here are not some kind of amazing sight. I would like, of course, to capture the views

When I arrived and went to the suspension bridge, the ice was standing. But as soon as I managed to take a picture, the whole mass smoothly shifted and after half an hour the surface of the water became

It took me a long time to decide whether to show Nikolsk at night or not. As a result, I would to publish photos to save the memory code in my diary blog. Very often, I return to old posts to connect to

The sunlight was dimming, but the color scheme remained the same: yellow and blue. Only the shadows became richer and darker, and the yellow turned into orange and even red. I managed to get around quite

How to determine the comfort of a place very easily? If you are walking and feel calm, as if at home, then you feel comfortable in this place. It's like being at home in Nikolsk –I can walk around without

Nikolsk is an ancient city. It was granted this status in 1780, but it has existed for much longer as a marina on the Yug River during the time of the waterway trade routes. This is one of the most remote

I really wanted to walk around this city and was preparing for this trip mentally. I know that you can't make plans for the future and expect something, because in my case it always works out in the negative.

It's rare to capture a sunset. It would seem that the most ordinary everyday phenomenon, which is accessible to everyone, turns out to be inaccessible to me. I have more opportunities to photograph the
