The Toshnya River valley in the fog
Published on HivePostify by @evildeathcore · Mon Sep 07 2026
I’ve been meaning to visit a certain still‑unseen suspension (or maybe it’s an ordinary) bridge over the Toshnya River for a long time, and now I’ve finally made the trip. A high hill, a steep descent, the river valley shrouded in fog. I started taking the first shots.
I began to explore the path to the bridge – it was unclear where to go and how to proceed, as there was fog all around. https://sun9-78.vkuserphoto.ru/s/v1/ig2/hQN3U5UbBD0LNGWDSP46hHok5LkSDFCIi07c3FwGUWRCwV3sNIf3cYJGBUEcgMt2AA8aoxyyBfFkDJQJiMBuoy.jpg?quality=95&as=32x21,48x32,72x48,108x72,160x107,240x160,360x240,480x320,540x360,640x427,720x480,1080x720,1280x853,1440x960,2560x1707&from=bu&cs=2560x0
I went down to the bushes, took a closer look at the silhouettes, and was even a little frightened – holy crosses appeared through the fog! https://sun9-17.vkuserphoto.ru/s/v1/ig2/kQtAEZjs3rQEEsvMB6HNtBOHcfyJA7UjT5VIkUMAeByPLP8uHMtndTs4DzP7czesFuUVToxKEmzl2cA02ks0N.jpg?quality=95&as=32x21,48x32,72x48,108x72,160x107,240x160,360x240,480x320,540x360,640x427,720x480,1080x720,1280x853,1440x960,2560x1707&from=bu&cs=2560x0
I didn’t know about this chapel; it’s clearly a new construction, but still… https://sun9-50.vkuserphoto.ru/s/v1/ig2/sRWTBD6QpogwKy6Skqo2xF9uZdLD39RexumzJILpA8y21nd9FDO-PkPwC7e4yo2i8mIFivnZeHsFFDVMGq9GIJhQ.jpg?quality=95&as=32x21,48x32,72x48,108x72,160x107,240x160,360x240,480x320,540x360,640x427,720x480,1080x720,1280x853,1440x960,2560x1707&from=bu&cs=2560x0
I immediately started working on the angles with the little church. https://sun9-33.vkuserphoto.ru/s/v1/ig2/W1lGgahLehMQ2s9asS8QbzEpBtfmw9XsL--Hm3gDWp2iqnBAi5pSxZ9kocdrEWtJx1bbskGHnsug9uTlJqWuThNa.jpg?quality=95&as=32x21,48x32,72x48,108x72,160x107,240x160,360x240,480x320,540x360,640x427,720x480,1080x720,1280x853,1440x960,2560x1707&from=bu&cs=2560x0
And what about the bridge? I tried to reach it, but as I descended the hill, the fog became so dense that I simply lost all sense of direction...and the way... https://sun9-39.vkuserphoto.ru/s/v1/ig2/NnR0cod7XRotOhUPtLxk5ddNUYyhW5yQxWKY8ttFilRcxOiKDInVU7cfa6vMJi43mBXK82w4lzpBk6t-GXkwNzCb.jpg?quality=95&as=32x21,48x32,72x48,108x72,160x107,240x160,360x240,480x320,540x360,640x427,720x480,1080x720,1280x853,1440x960,2560x1707&from=bu&cs=2560x0
The village of Aksenovo, which is on a hill next to the St. Petersburg highway, is not of interest. https://sun9-78.vkuserphoto.ru/s/v1/ig2/6VIl-OZZrVHtsgnGv8FRyUY6SeZqNyhBd9nlwhNMjA6MkWtdTmWh2WT249Z1NA8f-Cr4CZrzlhffluNRu5WLu.jpg?quality=95&as=32x21,48x32,72x48,108x72,160x107,240x160,360x240,480x320,540x360,640x427,720x480,1080x720,1280x853,1440x960,2560x1707&from=bu&cs=2560x0
And the village on the hill opposite remained unexplored. https://sun9-66.vkuserphoto.ru/s/v1/ig2/-PPmryvgxFtTIYI-wQZknGSlaz9dhpljAR1bUojFue2AeC-d5TXWS9Yf0CCq5q-GKJiJ0YDMepRWRJjhMHgVJ2M.jpg?quality=95&as=32x21,48x32,72x48,108x72,160x107,240x160,360x240,480x320,540x360,640x427,720x480,1080x720,1280x853,1440x960,2560x1707&from=bu&cs=2560x0
I'll get to the bridge sometime anyway.
