Thank you for sharing your story and the accompanying photography tells its story too. It is obvious how cold and snowy it is there, I love those trees covered with snow, it feels like they have fur coats and have no problem to be out the in snow. Just like got into deep over winter sleep. It is a true no trace of human, normally we expect to see some foot print and may be ski trace but there just silver snow. I like the last picture too, that tells us that it is not really so abandoned like it feels. That there are people down in their houses. Beautiful shots Alexey!
