Sun, snow, trees - it's a walk on Wednesday

in Wednesday Walk3 years ago

Hello friends.

I'm not a wizard or a magician, I'm just learning to be one.



And what day of the week is today? I have days off. And this weekend will continue until January 10. It's winter vacation, friends! Of course, I remembered. Today is Wednesday on the calendar!

Wednesday is a day for walking.



Today was a frosty day. The thermometer shows -20 degrees Celsius. But I decided that I would not stay at home, but would take a little ride out of town and walk to the white stone quarry, which builders began to develop last fall after many years of its downtime.
Why did I decide to look at it? It seems to me that this should be interesting!

In the summer, it was a lot of fun at the abandoned quarry. People have arranged a real recreation area there, as if at a southern resort. Thanks to the hot summer!
I left the car on the outskirts of the village and went towards the quarry.

Initially, I wanted to go along a small trail, but it turned out that only a ski track was made, which would not hold me. So we have to go along the road.

So... It turned out that the road was blocked. So the quarry is not working. But why are the builders blocking the whole road? It leads not only to the quarry. 2 years ago, builders closed the road with piles of stones. Because of this, people were paving a bypass road past a pile of stones.
But the snow will not allow you to make a detour.

What the hell? What's ahead of me? Some kind of secret military facility? The road is blocked by another snow wall. I see that someone was walking along this road in the same direction. So I'm not the only one who's so curious. The tracks are pretty fresh. Probably, someone took a Wednesday morning walk.

It seems to me that this is a wild apple tree. And she stands among the snowy blue kingdom.

Funny. Someone made a laughing merry head out of a block of snow.

Wow, friends, look what amazing spruce. She reminds me of a toy Christmas tree. I had such table spruce as a child. How amazing and interesting nature is.

I walk slowly and look around. I like to look at lonely coniferous trees. In winter, they look very elegant because of the big snow.

And here are the snowmobile tracks. Friends, do you hear that these snowmobiles are driving in the fields in the distance? But I can hear it!

Oops. And the quarry doesn't seem to be working for a long time. Everything is covered with snow. I think there hasn't been any equipment here for a month. I realized right away that cars don't drive here, but I thought it was literally just a week ago that the road was blocked.

Well, it's time to go home. The sun went down. By the time I get to the car, the day will be completely over, it will be dark. But it seemed that the sun was still high enough above the horizon.

Friends, did I tire you too much by showing snow and trees? I've finished. I am waiting for your ratings and possibly comments.


I give 5% of the reward to @archon, and he thanks me for it. Do you do it?

A winter wonderland so beautiful, strange they had blocked off the road but I loved the Merry Head :)

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

A sign has been placed at the entrance to the quarry - passage is prohibited, quarry work is underway.

Ok I guess that makes sense

Какой свет красивый, когда солнце садится. Прям чувствуется морозный скрип под ногами, прелесть!
Ну, по таким сугробам на прямик точно не пойдешь 😁

Сейчас часто лыжную колею делать по следам снегохода. Вот тогда хорошо идти.
А так да... а снега уже выше колена. Когда шел уже в сам карьер по лыжне, от пару раз мимо провалилсяч.

Очень русские зимне пейзажи, хорошо вами снятые, ухваченные.

Спасибо за коммент!

Great shots of snowy scenes. Even though I have come to detest winter, it IS beautiful. lol

Best wishes for Happiness, Health, and Prosperity in 2022!

Cheers!

Ahahaha... Winter is a difficult time of the year. I just realized that this time should be taken for granted and look for a positive in it

But where are the mushrooms ?!?! 😁

Oh shit! I forgot to show them. Tomorrow. there will be mushrooms on Friday.

This was a very beautiful post, both in terms of its text and its absolutely wonderful photographs along with their great captions! That being said, keep up the good work and all the best! Happy New Year with plenty of health and success as well! Cheers! :)

Thanks a lot for the comment and for the upvote!
