What I like about our latitudes is the variety and completeness of all weather and natural phenomena. During the winter, especially this one, the whole set of processes can occur: frost, snowstorm, sun,

I once went to one of the villages of the Gryazovetsky district of the Vologda region, but I left too late and, passing by the district center, decided to give a second chance to Gryazovets. Last year,

If you really want to go to a village with old houses, fences, and barns, but you don't want to go far, then the best solution would be to visit Priluki. This is a neighborhood of Vologda, where the

The nearest and, most importantly, most used to this day, the earth town is located in Nepotyagovo. There are some closer ones, but they are abandoned. Anyway, I decided to check if I would go somewhere

For two days in a row, the Valley was falling...maybe three, I don't remember anymore. This winter, I was no longer interested in urban life during and after the snowfall, but in the countryside. Although

In February, Vologda, like Moscow, was hit by snow cyclone Valley. It all started according to schedule - towards the end of the working day. I immediately went to take pictures of it all. As I have already

Igumnitsevo is the administrative center of the rural settlement, which affects its appearance. It is a village, but it is very similar to a Soviet-built settlement. There are very few old houses here.

While traveling around the Mezhdurechensky district of the Vologda region, I clearly began to feel what I had been studying and confirming for many years – the atmosphere of the place and its interest.

And rime again! It's just the perfect winter! February, you were the best in my entire photographic life! Frosts decorated everything around once again. But what if my wish really comes true, not only

The dugouts in Ermakovo are another place where I take pictures of the same places at different times of the year. The cellars here have already been photographed a hundred times, I have only captured

I said goodbye to Sosnovka last year. From now on, visits here will be purely visual and aesthetic in nature. Still, I still have a project to capture the same places at different times, so a couple of

In search of snow-covered villages, I tried to explore the Vologda region, where there is a chance to find something authentic, that is, similar to an ancient village. Abakshino is located very close to

To my surprise, the infinity of Molochnoye appeared again – I accidentally found another location with cellars. Moreover, the place was so banal that it was already a shame. In January 2024, between the

Dikaya is a railway station in the Vologda district of the Vologda region. Vologda is 38 km away. This settlement is located on both sides of the railway, divided by it into two parts. I've driven past

Have you ever seen the Aurora borealis crown? I saw it! This is when the aurora is at its zenith – the rays diverge in different directions from the center. Have you ever seen light poles? I saw it! And

The main feature of this winter is the snow caps. The December sticky snow fell intensively, then the frost caught up and these caps last all winter (two days left)! The most unique weather phenomenon!!!

February is considered the coldest month in our latitudes. There are frosts and colder weather in December and January, but unstable temperatures and thaws spoil the statistics. There are fewer thaws in
