Did you think everything was about Ermakovo? Of course, there will be dugouts!
Ermakovo dugouts are located in two places.

The first is right next to apartment buildings in the church area.

Here they are almost all abandoned and not used by locals.

But it turned out to be very difficult to photograph them because of the front lighting.

Some of the dugouts are in the thickets, so much so that the structures have become impossible to use.


The second place is located on the outskirts of the village near the village of Spirino.

Vegetable storehouses stand in a long line along the Sholda Creek.

Here they are more in demand: most of the dugouts are operated to this day.

The grass has been mowed down in almost all places.

I didn't expect to see so many of them at all.

There is a whole village of dugouts with several streets!

There was no lighting at all in this place, so I had to highlight the foreground with a smartphone flashlight.

But I did it very carefully and moderately, so that this fact would not catch my eye.

The main purpose of highlighting was to show deep shadows and reveal texture.


It's good to shoot dugouts in summer.

You can get close to each vegetable storehouse.

But there is also a drawback – tall grass.

If the grass is not mowed, then the dugout can sometimes be difficult to capture.

The earthen quarter smoothly turns into a country village.

I really liked the atmosphere among them.

There are many abandoned structures on the neighboring "street".

I would like to visit an active dugout inside at least once!

I would never have thought that the dugouts would become the object of my attention and documentation.

But it is very interesting in terms of search and capture.

Such excitement turns out to be like looking for mushrooms in the forest.
