Last year's snow was falling (visual walk of 16 photos)

It is now spring, the snow has finally melted and soon there will be a lot of young greenery. But I want to create a contrast for you. Instead of spring flowers, I want to show the first autumn snow. This is a special time. There are no snowdrifts yet, and the white color of the snow creates different texture patterns.

You will not be able to drive to this place by car at this time of the year. There are no usual roads, there is only a direction of movement. Of course, if you do not use a tractor with large wheels.

This small village is located among the forests on the banks of the Tosna River. My friend once bought a house here and put it in order. The amenities in the house do not differ from those in the city, but we will not talk about that now.

This is not my friend's house, it's just ruins with a broken roof. It's only good for photography. And we will walk along the river and admire the fresh beauty of the snow.

The first snow creates special graphics and I tried to process the photo in a high key. This is not a classic high key, but close to it.

Those houses are located on the other side of ours. There used to be a bridge across this river, but now there are only a few rotten piles in the water.

Without this snow, the landscape looks rather dull, everything merges into a solid gray-brown mass. Of course, when the sun is shining brightly, things get better because of the shadows...but not by much.

And here is what is called the road here. But for a pedestrian, this is not a big barrier if you have rubber boots.

We returned to the village to the house that was being destroyed. Now let's look at it from a different angle.

This abandoned nest was also once someone's home...

Not a very cheerful end turns out ... you need to add something bright. Let it be a viburnum bush. Red color inspires optimism 🖐️ 😊
