Album 143
(Translated by Svetlana
Guzeeva)
The following albums will be devoted to Priozersk (a small town to the north from Saint-Petersburg).
But before that I decided to show several shots made on the way there.
 |
This is Razdolinskoye lake near the Razdoliye settlement. It's seen right from the highway. There's certainly no one here in the autumn but I suppose there'll be lots of people during the summer.
|
| Through hearsay, the lake's depth is up to 8-9 meters. |
 |
 |
The bank is sandy, abundantly covered with needles.
The lake's bottom (within the sight) is also sandy. |
| The pine-tree needles |
 |
 |
And one more place on the way to Priozersk - it's the bridge over Vuoksa river. It's not far from Losevo. |
| Vuoksa is not quite/ not always a river. It's rather a system of lakes with a rapid stream here and there. At that it's so winding that it crosses this highway twice. |
 |
 |
People like to rest here during the summer (including extreme rest :) |
 |
A second bridge is seen not far - the railroad one.
Vuoksa flows into the Gulf of Finland and Ladoga at the same time, at that into the latter one - in two places at once. Part of it appeared artificially in the 19th century when the finns-farmers had built a dam and then it burst.
|
Priozersk itself will be presented in the following albums. |
