An enchanting sunset

This morning I decided, friends, to take a walk with a friend to a small river. This is exactly a real forest river. My friend is a fisherman and he asked me to take him to check this river, because in our Vyatka the water level is higher than normal and the water is very cloudy due to constant rains. Well. It is a joy for me to go to places I have not been to for several years. We got in the car and headed off. The length of the road in one direction turned out to be about 6 kilometers. But this is not a paved road, but a forest road broken by logging trucks.I remember a few years ago I drove with great difficulty over the bridge over the river, because it was not a bridge, but logs and planks. This time the bridge was very decent.

I remember a few years ago I had great difficulty crossing the bridge over the river, because it was not a bridge, but logs and planks. This time the bridge was very decent.

On the one hand, the river is clean, but the banks are overgrown with brush and you can't get close. There is practically no current. And on the other side of the bridge, the river looks more like a swamp. There is no current in the river, which is why it has become so bad. And what is the reason? It's simple: loggers ruined the streams and water sources that fed the river. Yes. A deforestation is approaching the river bank. Only stumps stand out where the forest used to be. I did not expect to see this.

Such a forest is very good for old people. No trees? So what. But there are many stumps on which you can sit and relax.
This is how the comfort of life and our benefits of civilization are reflected in nature.

A forest like this is very good for the elderly. No trees? So what. But there are plenty of stumps to sit and rest.

This is how the comfort of life and our civilization are reflected in nature.

A friend said that a lonely child was left alone among the battlefield, where all his parents and loved ones died in an unequal battle with civilization.

Yes. There is something in that.

By the way, this plot is plowed for planting trees. Maybe next year new small pine trees will be planted here. But for some reason the stumps are not removed from.

And this little pine tree will not last long. It didn't stand a chance at all. It was next to the road.
