The Stream

In the old Russian village of Gankovo near St. Petersburg is early spring. Thawed patches of snow. Under the branches of hairy firs and branched birches there are wooden houses. On the way along the houses a village man in a sheepskin coat leads a horse. On the sleigh lies the hay. In the foreground, the sky is reflected in the waters of a meandering stream. Sunny spring day in Gankovo.
