Smetyevo is a former village, now a microdistrict of Vologda. Located in the middle of the field between Osanovo and Byvalovo.
This village was in my plans for a long time, but somehow I could not get close to it.
But this time, I think, I did not reveal the atmosphere of the village.
And how to open it when half of the houses are fenced with high solid fences, and you can’t get close to the other half?
Houses stand randomly and not everywhere there is a through passage between them.
There are many similar places around Vologda, but there are more interesting ones than Smetyevo.
This is an example of the fact that it is very difficult to shoot near the city due to the lack of any cultural code and atmosphere, respectively.
Near the city there will always be remakes, solid fences, cottages and other elements of inconvenience. The farther from the city, the more comfortable. There are also exceptions. But not at this time...
