The cellars in Nasonovo were not immediately found. It was so dark that I didn't want to get out of the car. But over time, my eyes got used to the gloom.
Nasonovo is a village in the Kharovsky district of the Vologda region. Kharovsk was only 18 km away, but Vologda was already over a hundred.
The dugouts are on the hillside, as is often the case.
A bright lantern in the village helped to illuminate the overall scene. And I, in turn, highlighted what was in the shadows.
It's my favorite time to shoot dugouts. There are two periods – spring and autumn, and both are good in their own way.
In autumn, it smells of rotten vegetation and damp earth.
If spring is filled with blooming scents and ringing chirps of birds, then autumn is the deepest mysticism and cosmos.
Coolness and fog, stars and silence – autumn simply plunges into some kind of vacuum.
And if in the spring there are some disadvantages when shooting dugouts, then in the fall they simply do not exist.
Starting from August and until the first snow falls, it's cellar time!
