There’s only a couple of months or even weeks when these locations become available – frozen water areas that could be reached by walking on ice that is thick enough. That’s what Alexey Kurashov did, walking with microphones across the ice-covered Lesnoye lake in Sergiyev Posad East.

Be careful! Even the strongest-looking ice may be fragile!

The first recording was taken 60 meters apart from the shore. The temperature felt like, Alexey says, around minus 5 centigrade outside.

The second one is of passing from one shore to another. Once there was a bridge, but it’s only a skeleton of a bridge that remains. It is much colder now, with minus 18 or so.

Thank you, Alexey! If any of our listeners have any recordings to share – be it mundane or quirky, new or archival, urban and rural – please let us know!

More field recordings from Sergiyev Posad and its area are streamed 24 hours on oontz.ru/radio. You never know what plays next – join us!
