Courtyard spaces. Teplichny-2022

Another repeated walk around the Teplichny microdistrict. Repeated in the literal sense, since I was here only once in order to capture the metaphysical sensations from spaces, and this time was the second.

This is one of the rarest neighborhoods I have ever been to.

This neighborhood is the smallest in area.

But here it is very cozy and comfortable conditions for living are created.

If you take and count in general how many times I have been here with a camera in my hands, then the fingers of one hand will suffice.

It is noteworthy that the very first time was the next day, after my arrival in Vologda in 2019.

And the very first photo that got into the newspaper, I took in this microdistrict.

It was a picture of a man jumping over a puddle.

Then Teplichny was forgotten...and only in the spring of 2020 did I walk here again during the day to study the yards, so that I could go through them at night.

But at night I somehow superficially captured them.

I was at the very beginning of the path of studying the metaphysics of spaces and somehow did not feel these courtyards.

But I walked the second half of the neighborhood over twenty times!

Of course, I didn’t even go through it this time, since there I had already rubbed holes in the asphalt from walking.

Although if I pass now, I can find something new anyway!

Well, I confess, this time I was with my son and was limited in time.

I wanted to capture exactly the twilight turning into night.

On that day, the first snow fell and it was a light frost outside.

It seems to me that Teplichny is such a micro-area where there is not much to do, but for some reason it attracts.

In terms of the picture, it will be boring here, but there is some kind of special atmosphere here, for which I come back here.

Maybe these are those rare, but key memories in my life ..
