I'm going to take you to the countrysides but before that, you're going to hace a ride with me at the Volga river.
This is a hydrofoil and below is the one I took.
It's nice to see the land from afar and get a picture of how it looks like.
Here, is a small barge and behind it are dachas, not very far from the city area. It's more like suburban dachas.
Somewhere farther is a small port and behind are dachas...
more dachas here.
"Dachnikii" -they are reffered to people who stay in dachas every summer. Like I mentioned in my previous post, swimming is one if the favorite pastimes in dacha.
Beautiful river cliffs...
where fishermen below found themselves a hideout.
Somebody's huge poperty.
I don't want to overload you with pictures so I am going to continue next post.

Beautiful landscape, it's a pity that I don't own a Dacha !
ReplyDeleteHello Mari, I love the views of the river. It would be fun to take a ride on the hydrofoil boat, they look like they move fast. The lighting on the cliffs is beautiful. Wonderful series of photos. Enjoy your day and week ahead!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! What a magnificent river!
ReplyDeleteThe blue sky and the "blue" river look so happy and refreshing.
Thank you for sharing and have a great day!
I never thought there would be so many dachas, and so close together.
ReplyDeleteThere are many dachas as majority of Russian families have, it's like a residence in the countryside.
DeleteWow, this is an extraordinary voyage on the river. Beautiful scenes, fresh air, gorgeous shoreline. I appreciate you sharing since I have only read in books about the Volga. This was a great adventure.
