Photo expedition to Dokshytsy (Porplishcha, Valodz’ki, Litoutsy) and Hlybokaje (Uradzhajnaja, Dzjedzina, Kavali, Laurynouka, Mamai) Districts, II/X. Фотавандроўка па Докшыцкым (Порплішча, Валодзькі, Літоўцы) і Глыбоцкім (Ураджайная, Дзедзіна, Кавалі, Лаўрыноўка, Мамаі) раёнах, ІІ/Х.
Five miles northeast of Porplishcha, in the village of Valodz’ki, my eye was drawn to the contrast between the unusual, industrial-style fence and the almost perfectly-preserved traditional shingle roof of the house.
Classic shingle roof, Valodz’ki 2015. Гонтавы дах, Валодзькі 2015 г.
No one seemed to be at home as I wandered into the orchard to photograph the roof.
Then the mistress of the house appeared, worried that I was some kind of inspector. I assured her I was only a wandering photographer and praised her for the care she and her husband obviously took in tending their homestead.
