Village with empty soul

The people that inhabited the small mountain village in its past were the soul of Varbovchets. Most of the people in the village were engaged with slack lime producing, others made stones on the quarry. Each house, or at least most of them, have stone foundations and unique look.
I've always wanted to take some interesting architecture shots of those buildings, but unlucky for me most of the interesting buildings are abandoned. You wonder why I didn't take some shots of those - I did, but most of the houses are hidden from the shrubs, trees and bushes that are hiding them pretty well.

Ray of light behind the clouds

And there was light!
I am doing my best to show the beauty of that spare moment of time. The sun was behind some clouds over the mountain called - Smedovets, and that light was lighting some places at the foot of the mountain. At this very moment it was as like god was using a torch to lighten up some small shrubs and forests. It was marvelous feeling. I felt like energized and filled with happiness, filled with optimism and positivism. Hope you can feel the same while looking at my image.

It was a sunny, but windy day. Too hot for the beginning of May, but at least the rain predictions happened to be wrong. However, near sunset I've had some minutes to take a small walk. This was the sky I saw for about 5-6 minutes. I took as many shots and angles as possible, but this one happened to be my favorite.

Winter walk


Almost 2 month of winter passed and not a single snowflake, until few days ago. One Sunday morning I woke up to see a nice and heavy snowfall. No time to wait – a quick coffee and few minutes to prepare my camera. I went on this winter walk with my D7200 and a tripod. in the city the snow was beginning to melt, but on the nearby hill it was almost 20cm and still snowing. There were just few footprints in the snow left from some sporting people who went for a run.
