I've been collecting places that I want to return to for a long time. Kubenskoye is one of them. An important criterion is the comfort of the place, which in turn has components: elevation difference,

Sometime in the middle of January, an atmospheric vortex hit the European part of Russia. Vologda got hurt too. Until now, utilities are "cleaning up" the consequences of this snowfall. It looks

Last year, I really didn't want winter...And she wasn't there. This year, I wished for a real snowy and moderately frosty winter... Sorry, utilities and other haters of this season, but it looks like my

I don't know the exact name of this neighborhood, but it merges with the center. And yet this is the outskirts on the east side of the city. Maybe the locals call it PPM (Pulp and paper mill), because

Now I'm getting closer and closer to the center of the Sokol. This time I wandered into the neighborhood of Pechatkino. I also photographed the dugouts in it in the summer and, driving past, saw all these

MRP is usually translated as a Mechanical repair plant. I do not know where he was here before. The neighborhood is located on the same side of the Sukhona River as the center of Sokol, but stands on the

While exploring the courtyards of Sokol, I came across a neighborhood where entire private territories are decorated with garlands for the holidays. In general, in our region, and maybe throughout the

After walking around the snowy winter forest to my heart's content, I decided to go out into the field to capture the hazy sun setting over the horizon. It's good to shoot the sun through a frosty haze

I often think about what led me to take pictures. And I have long since found the key moment when my love of beauty manifested itself in me – I looked at postcards with landscapes and pocket calendars

The same snow cover remained in Sokol as in my previous visits. One snowfall created beauty for a long time. Miracles are happening to me again, and I don't even notice it. As I have already said, for

Soldek is a neighborhood of Sokol, where the timber processing enterprise of the same name, which was founded in 1899, is located. Soldek is located in the riverside part of the city and is separated from

This was the first supermoon in 2026, and it was quite early – at the very beginning of January. The one hundred percent moon, of course, was hiding behind clouds, but the slightly waning moon was already

After the neighborhood of the Timber Depot, I decided to look at something as snow-covered as possible in Sokol. To do this, I chose Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya Park in the neighborhood of Pechatkino. I'll tell

I like to explore urban courtyards in stages, by microdistrict, in blocks. Sokol is ideal for this type of study, and it's doing well with the names of the districts. The Forest Depot microdistrict is

A short photo report about Epiphany in Vologda. This time I was not at work, but filming for myself. I chose the font at the Spaso-Prilutsky monastery to diversify the plot. Sokolovsky Spring is beautiful,

The most amazing place with cellars during my visit to Kharovsk is located on the hillside in the village of Myatnevo, which offers a magnificent view of the Kubena and the bridge over it. If I lived in

At first glance, the courtyards among the barracks in Kharovsk look gloomy and even post-apocalyptic, but this is only in certain neighborhoods. Closer to the center, everything is more or less decent.

This is a completely different, but also interesting topic, I would even say, a whole little–studied layer of outbuildings - two-story sheds. There are such people in Vologda, but very few. And in Kharovsk

Another cluster of cellars is located on the banks of the Kubena River. There are few dugouts here, but the most picturesque and graphic subjects have turned out thanks to the trees. It took me a long

At the third point, there are as many as thirty dugouts, and they all stand like a ruler! There are both square and triangular roofs. But the type is difficult to determine: it looks like the cellar is
