There is a little town called Ugra, it is situated in Smolenskaya oblast south to Vyazma region. It was in late May of last year when a friend of mine, Igor Sysin, sent me some pictures made by himself around this town.

First of all, I decided to publish those of the pictures, which were made outside Ugra, with only natural landscapes. Later I will publish photos from Ugra depicting military memorials.

On the first photo you may see a stork, flying somewhere above the bushes.
