The old Russian village of Izborsk near Pskov. Winter sunny morning. Through the trees, the rays of the sun make their way. The snow-covered road rises up to a small church. On the road there were traces of the sleigh that had passed. A wooden house, painted in blue, staite comfortably behind a branchy tree. Small green fir trees were powdered with snow. Opposite the house slender birches and thick fir trees. Bright sun and cloudless skies, clean roofs of houses speak of the approach of spring.
