Yuri-

Trying out a different category lately I see.

Individually none of these are very strong landscape shots to me but all together they do some story telling of the scenery quite well.

I am curious as to the haze in the sky. Is it fog, pollution, or haze?

I am sure this area could provide some fantastic shots if you had a better sky to work with as it what I call a "Dead Sky". In Arizona I have to deal with "Dead Sky" and "Haze" quite a bit and it can be maddening.

I like the simpleness of the 1st shot- the hidden train in #4- and the elevated walkway in the last one. I would like to see the last one in one of your high contrast b&w conversions.

Yuri, i really like something about #7, what is going on with those piles?
upside down trees, and piles of straw...i would have guessed it was wind but the left one proves that not right....farmers do this, why....?

I can't advise on the technical aspects of your photos, although I like the idea of seeing the steps in B&W. I LOVE that shot--because I take so many shots of stairs and paths and roads. They just always imply some aspect of the human journey to me. In your #9 photo, I as the viewer could be going down the steps or coming up. It doesn't matter--I am being taken somewhere with this shot. I like it!

Thanks for sharing,
Lauren
