Luza and Lalsk

in #travel7 years ago

This time I'll tell you about the trip to Luza and Lalsk, the Kirov region. The length of the route is about 200 km there and back. The road there is 80% dirt, but in winter it is in excellent condition - you can go at a speed of 90 km / h. There are, of course, snow drifts, which turn into a "washing board." But this is not often met. The path ran through many abandoned and semi-abandoned villages.

Our first stop was near the village of Pokrovo. Hoarfrost, the sun just came out - how not to take pictures?

Then, without stopping, we went straight to Luza. This is the small town, a district center and a railway station. The roads in it are terrible! The tracks are such that it will not leave the SUV!

There is nothing to see and we went further to Lalsk. From Luza about 30 km.

You can immediately see the difference - Lalsk is an older city.

There is a Baroque Cathedral. Which stands on a small river Lala.

There are many pigeons and stray dogs in Lalsk.

Walked, snacked, photographed and drove back.

On the way back to the village of Palema crawled along an abandoned school.

And then we climbed into a couple of houses in the next village. The ceilings are already collapsed.

Somewhen people lived here ...

Driving back through the village of Pokrovo we were again lucky with the light! There was a magnificent sunset.

Even a snowman rejoiced in such a sun!

Photos are very good in my opinion

I'm glad that you like it, thanks!

You are welcome

There are many abandoned non-residential buildings, it looks sad

If you think about the stories behind each of those buildings, it may look sad, but it is also fascinating. Time changes everything.

I'm very fascinated by abandoned places. Nice pics!

Thanks, I agree with you!

Absolutely great photos! The light is magnificient! What camera do you have?

Thank you very much!
Camera Canon 5d, and lens Canon EF 28-90, some photos made on Sigma 70-300
