The photo exhibition "Russia Starts Here" has opened in Pskov today, August 22. It is based on the results of the photo contest organized by the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda Pskov this year.
The contest was attended by 70 landscape photographers, both beginners and professionals from Pskov, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Tver and Novgorod regions and other cities. Photographers have conveyed the beauty of unique nature and architectural monuments of the Pskov Region.
More than 300 works were submitted for the competition. One photographer could offer up to five of his pictures. In July, a popular vote began on the website of the KP-Pskov edition. As a result, 50 photographs were selected to be included into the exposition.
The works can be divided into two groups, such as photos directly related to the monuments of culture and nature, and emotional photo sketches.
