Interesting scenes from the village.
These are really interesting. Thanks for the trip to Russia!
You must be spending hours and hours sorting through all your photos from this amazing trip!!
What a great set of photographs. That looks like somewhere I would enjoy visiting. I think it's great when traveling to see the rural parts of a country as well as the urban areas.
@ Lesley — you are so right. Dick takes hundreds and hundreds of photos, and I take quite a few myself. It is a long job, sorting through them, but I enjoy it most of the time because he was able to get out every day, usually twice a day, on tours, and I couldn't manage that, so I like to see his pictures.

baby's cradle. a working mum or just for display?
Wonderful wide variety of images.
What a beautiful and utterly magical church!
Fascinating work. In my Syd Tech Coll shot, the animals are on the arch below the name. If you click on the link in the post, you can see a lizard and a platypus on the achitecture website. I'll have to go back and get some close up shots.

@ Ann — the people are in period costume and working at chores as they were done in the 17th century. The "mom" really is working on the loom, but the cradle was empty.

@ J Bar — Oh, I'll click on the link. All I did was enlarge your photo. Thanks!

I love the intricate work of the eaves of the barn, so different from our red or just plain barn here.
The loom reminds me of those from back home in the Philippines.
I am still amazed about these beautiful wooden carvings on the houses. Weaving looms I have seen in Morocco (for carpets) very interesting post !
This is more like the Russia my hubby saw when he was there helping renovate a children's orphanage x
A different and so beautiful world there!Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures!

Thank you for the reminder of times I can actually remember, honourably working the land. It reminds me of rural peace before WW11.
This was an extra special post of a world gone by. I so like what Blogger has done with enlarging the photos so they can be seen almost like a slide show. That wood farmhouse is spectacular! Just terrific, Kay!
Nice photos from your world :)
These are very nice pictures of the old way of living. Especially like the picture of the craftsman, intently focused on his woodwork. Thanks!
Another interesting tour Kay. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Very interesting series of images!
Kay, thank you for taking on this lovely tour of Russia. It is interesting to see the countryside of Russia and the hardworking people.
Somehow I missed this post earlier -- thank goodness for Google Reader. What a great place this was -- that's my favorite way to learn history -- these kind of places really humanize it. Great pictures as always.
