Priviet (in Russian - Hello), dear friends!
Every year they disconnect electricity at our dacha late autumn and connect again in spring.
I met this electrician at Dacha... He had wonderful 'cats' (in Russian koshki) on this boots - they help him to climb ... His name is Nikolai and after his work we obtained...electricity!

    Cool :)

    Why do they disconnect the electric for winter?

    Nice photos, Yuri! I like the bottom one best, but the second one is very interesting, too. I like the surroundings there. I don't think I like the frame idea much. Just for me, it distracts me from the man and the shack and all.

    I would think you had a good weekend, then!

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    Because most of people leave dachas in winter time... We have such Dachas settlement - small garden-plots of 600-800 sq.meters...

    You know, I used this frame also for making this photo-for-web a bit smaller... All this leaves and branches make a lot of Kbites!

    I love portraiture of people in their work environments. These are great, Yuri. I especially like the pose in the second one showing his work "uniform" and the world around him. thumb.gif

    It's a safety/antitheft measure

    During the russian hard winters owners almost never dwell in those small lightly built dacha houses (shacks). However, if electricity is left on, one or few things may happen:
    1. Some crazy person would decide to visit his property, spend the night, start using some illegal heating device, start the fire and the whole community will burn
    2. Homeless people would start use those unattanded housing for shelter and free electricity
    3. Due to a heavy snowfall the wire can break, and if left under voltage (220V, mind you), cause a short, fire - see #1.
    That's what I remeber from the time my family usued to own one. Maybe now Yuri can add some more reasons:-)

    BTW, water is usually switched off during the winter season, too, otherwise above-ground pipes would break :-(

    Just my 0.00002 of the f/stop...:):
