It is already March 10 on the calendar and this means that spring has already begun. Despite the fact that spring has begun, it is still very cold outside. The temperature dropped to -28 degrees Celsius tonight.
The last days of winter, cold and snow will end soon and now is the time to remember the beautiful winter days of the past winter.
One of the beautiful stories was my working trip to the city of Yaroslavl. Nothing special, just 65 kilometers from city to city and back.
It was frosty that day, but there was still very little snow. The rivers were all chained in ice. On one of the rivers I stopped the car and went down from the road to the river.
The sun was shining, it was quiet and calm. I went out on the ice. The ice was already very thick. Holes for winter ice fishing were drilled here and there.
I went straight along the river bed, dreaming that I would have skates. If I were skating, I could skate along the river as if on a large ice rink. The ice is very smooth and beautiful.
Closer to the shore, grass grows through the ice and the ice is fragile there. If you step on such ice, you can fail. This happened to me. I stumbled and fell through the ice with one foot. Despite the fact that I very quickly pulled out my leg, I felt that water was poured into the boot.
With such a raw foot, I didn't really want to climb the winter river. I decided to head back to the car. But I managed to take a few shots to show how beautiful the winter river is.
While I reached the place, my leg seemed to dry out and on the way back I decided to stop somewhere in the field again, to make some landscapes with the winter setting sun.
And today I can show you these photos with pleasure.
