This year, winter has passed without the usual big holidays. The fact is that the pandemic has made adjustments to our lives.
But places where festivities like Maslenitsa take place remained. There is one interesting place in my city of Kostroma. This is a museum of wooden architecture.
Interesting wooden buildings that were characteristic of our region were brought to this museum from all over the Kostroma region. Houses that were built over 100 years ago still delight us with their unique architecture and carvings.
This museum was created in the post-war period and some of the people who created this museum are still alive. I know one of these people. An amazing person who went through the Great Patriotic War, worked as an architect in the post-war period and created many wonderful works of architectural art. His name is Joseph Sheftelevich Shevelev.
One of the churches in the Museum of Wooden Architecture in Kostroma was transported and restored by this man. The restoration required not only the replacement of some rotten crowns, but also the architectural solution of the lost parts of the wooden church.
If the weather is good outside and the sun is shining, then a walk through such a museum is a very pleasant event. I recommend everyone to take a similar walk, if possible.
In addition to the beauty of the old Russian wooden architecture, there is also a wonderful winter Russian nature. Fresh air, blue sky, white snow and the feeling of coming spring.
Spring this year is not particularly happy with sunny days. Therefore, every such day is a gift from Russian nature.
And now, when I look at these photos and there is a gray sky outside the window and it is snowing, I feel the warmth of the spring sun on my cheeks.
