Deaf and beautiful land. Kostroma (28 photos)

So, Kostroma region, autumn, deaf and beautiful land.
Abandoned villages, stone churches, towers forest and no one around.





Chuhloma still in place as well as the lake.
For more than 600 years.



This charming provincial town.
Quiet streets, old houses.



Church of the Assumption, it is almost three hundred years.



But our path lies to the east.
There, where almost nobody lives.
There, where in churches, no one watches.

Asphalt disappears and begins grader.



Then he disappears.



We drove past the village, where there is still life.



There even have children, there is a technique, cultivated fields.



But a little bit of houses, churches have long been not wanted.
Large, stately, and they stand for decades in the forest.



Meanwhile, the road deteriorates.
We have to go out and look ahead.
On this bridge will not pass.



The road winds, front of the house, which for a long time there was no one.



...



Esche one church.
Too old and too completely abandoned.



Somewhere here right among the trees stands a tower. Now this forest tower.



The house is decorated with elegant, carving, glass doors ...
According to legend, it was built by a wealthy landowner for his beloved woman. So she lived here.
Maybe it's just a legend, but who knows, maybe she really loved was waiting on that balcony?



But again, farther to the east.
Roads turn into direction.



And sometimes in the swamp. It is clearly in this year there was no one.



Rests on the river. Pedestrian bridge. Who did it when?



But the bridge is alive and pass it on to the church. It is quite another, and even glass are alive, and crosses.



Near the village again.
Strong at home, who knows how much they are empty and how many more will hold on?



The road continues to delight, from the bridges have remained only the names.



Fast dark, but we are not far from civilization.



The next day ...



... And has been renovated ...



... The church was again ...



... Over the village ...



... It was quiet in these remote places.
We had to go back, but did not want to.



But I will definitely be back here again, this time with friends.
They have something to show.
