Winter snows in Kostroma, Russia

The last days of winter are coming. It will not be spring next week. This year winter was strange. Frosts and snow appeared only in February. But in full.

I want to show some pictures of Russian winter. Winter has always been the pride of the Russian people. Winter always helped the Russians. Remember, the general frost in 1941 defended Moscow along with the Soviet troops.

I like winter, especially if the sun is in the sky and you can go out and take pictures of beauty.

All these photos are made in the vicinity of my city Kostroma.
