January in Moscow. Part 1

in Photography13 days ago

And I'm back in Moscow again! This time I decided to walk along the Yauza River and reach the confluence with the Moskva River. January turned out to be abnormally warm. In 2020, I also visited the capital in January, but then there was no snow at all.

It's either November or April, but it doesn't look like the most wintry month of the year.

And the atmosphere is appropriate – it feels like a snowfall in late spring or the first snow in late autumn.

And the weather is like in the off-season with swings in the form of snowfall and variable clouds.

It was good that there was white snow in places – a dot of white in such a gray gave the picture a picturesque appearance.

I liked the large concentration of churches in Moscow.

Wherever you point the lens, there will be a church everywhere.

Well, if there is no temple nearby, then there will be historical architecture.

It's interesting to walk around Moscow and, passing some places, realize that I've already been there.

That is, a few more walks and I will be able to navigate in the center of the capital without a navigator.

I would like to know this city the way I know Vologda.

I found it very boring on the banks of the Yauza River.

There were practically no people here.

Well, everything is kind of unattractive.

I'm slowly starting to feel the visual code of Moscow.

It's hard to explain, but it's like a neural network has drawn something as generalized as possible about this city.

St. Petersburg has a completely different visual code, like all cities.

I even wanted to reflect on this topic and, if possible, develop it in terms of photography.
