Stoned Bridge

Stoned Bridge is the shortest street in Vologda and the eponymous old bridge across the Zolotukha River. It is located in the city center between Mira and Maria Ulyanova streets.

I would not have ended up here if it had not been for the next task to capture the bridge for a future book. Before that, I had already been here, but I could not go down to the river because of the high water level in it.

This time I managed not only to capture the bridge itself from below, but also to pass under it. It was a little bit dirtish, but I managed to overcome the path under the bridge in my sneakers.

I have always loved places that seem to be in the center, in a crowded place, in the thick of events, but a quiet, cozy place that is accessible only to you. It's like your own inner world.

People walk across the bridge and don't even notice me. Few people stop and look down - the landscape here, to put it mildly, is not very attractive.

I must definitely go down here at night and take a picture of the bridge in the light of street lamps!

But for this I need boots.
