Swamps of Russia - Open space (Visual story 22 photos)

(Edited)

If you don't have experience, then visiting the swamp can be a real challenge. But there is an opportunity to visit a real swamp without taking off your sneakers. The Sestroretsk bog was formed as a result of the flooding of the Sestra River. NOT for this reason alone, of course. The place is low here, a couple of meters below sea level. But if you don't stray from the special eco-trail, nothing bad will happen to you.

Если у вас нет опыта, то посещение болота может стать настоящим испытанием. Но есть возможность побывать на настоящем болоте не снимая своих кроссовок. Сестрорецкое болото образовалось в результате разлива реки Сестры. НЕ только по этой причине, конечно. Место здесь низкое, на пару метров ниже уровня мирового океана. Но если вы не будете отклоняться от специальной тропы, с вами ничего плохого не случится.

Until now, we walked through the swamp among the pines of a dry spit. Today we will enjoy the open space. This board trail runs through the very heart of the Sestroretsk bog.

We walked here along that spit of the forest.

Small forest islands are found here. But to visit them, one cannot do without high rubber boots.

I think there are more green colors here in the spring.

This landscape may seem monotonous. In fact, this is not the case. Individual trees, shadows on the grasses, varying viewing angles, much more.

Just imagine yourself in the middle of this swamp. There is a wide open space around you.

We were lucky with the weather. There was a lot of sun and little wind.

True, for photography, the light was too harsh, but it made the colors saturated.

So we got to the edge of the forest. Several bodies of water were waiting for us inside this forest. But this will be the next visual story.

There's one swamp in Estonia, that looks very similar to this one, but I don't rembember what it was called. Well all the swamps look a bit similar, but some really stand out and have a unique look.

Of course, all swamps are somewhat similar. But each has its own characteristics. Somewhere there is more water, somewhere a special covering of moss or grass, there are bogs with birches, there are swamps with pines. You can list for a long time :)
I am now preparing material about another swamp. There are no more than 50 km between them, but these are completely different places.
