Spring in Tervenichi.

 Not so much spring, may be said summer, since that was on May, 30rd. That wasn’t scheduled, even considered, just an accidental drive-in due to circumstances on my way back. I was the only visitor at the nunnery that morning, except for very few locals going to liturgy.

What’s wrong here? Clear sky is typically ruled out by me while making preparations for landscape photography, but here, since my trip route was changed suddenly, I had to use whatever turned up. The results are here below. As we see, strong contrasts were inevitable outcome of a deep blue sky, noise level is high and nothing can be done to remedy that without considerable quality deterioration. 

Firstly, a group of panoramic (actually just one is a stitch) images, not too successful due to white balance errors:
