It seems to me that in order to start studying the history of a city, in particular historical photographs (as it used to be), you need to study the city as if you've known it all your life. This applies to those who have ever moved to live somewhere for the first time in an unfamiliar place.
It is clear that if you live in a place from birth and know this place by heart, then it will feel familiar and photos of past years may be of interest.
And how can I look at pictures from the past if I do not know how it is in the present?..Is it logical?
It turns out that I'm ready for history, because I can recognize the place in the present tense from an old photograph.
In short, I saw enough pictures of the last century and went to photograph the Zolotukha River.
Snow has fallen. Everything is beautiful, just right for the places that I'm going to shoot.
I wanted to make history myself (although I do it every day), that is, to capture for the future those views that may change later.
And it's just that I've never taken off a Zolotukha so voluminously and for so long.
I've had many species for a long time, but for some reason they're mostly daytime.
And the pictures are almost always taken locally....that is, I went to one place, took pictures of the views and moved on.
Zolotukha r can be divided into segments between the bridges.
Actually, the name of the Sodima River. And it is called Zolotukha only in the city center.
I have been to all the places where the river flows through the city limits, but now I have only touched on the Zolotukha, which runs only through the center.
There are seven bridges on Zolotukha alone (Sodima in the city center), three of which are pedestrian.
The most interesting is the Stone Bridge, all the others are ordinary automobile or iron pedestrian bridges.
Although every bridge (except one) has a name.
If we take into account the entire Infrastructure, the number of bridges increases significantly.
Zolotukha flows parallel to Mira Street for almost its entire length.
Only at the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker does it make a turn and go into residential areas.
To be continued...
The photos of the snowy river are very charming and evocative ❤️❤️
