Woman, photos on Flickr

Who is this woman, I unfortunately do not know, but I saw and heard how she masterfully masters all Russian folk musical instruments, and also sings folk ditties beautifully :)

In this photo, a Russian folk percussion musical instrument, an idiophone, is a ratchet.

During archaeological excavations in Novgorod in 1992, two planks were found, presumably included in the set of ancient Novgorod ratchets in the 12th century.

In the south-west of Russia (in the Kursk, Tula and Kaluga regions) it was used to accompany wedding, laudatory or dance songs, sometimes in an ensemble with an accordion livenka.

It is a set of 14-20 small (130-150 long, 50-70 mm wide) oak, walnut or maple planks strung on a rope at one end. Between the planks are spacers, sometimes together with 4-8 bells. The ratchet is held by the loops at the ends of the rope and pressed on the extreme bars with sharp or smooth movements.

In the north-west of Russia, another type of ratchet consists of a rectangular frame 200 × 100 mm in size with 1-4 elastic bars fixed on its short side, the length of which is approximately equal to the length of the frame. The frame rotates on the handle, and the elastic strips with their free ends are in contact with the gear part of this handle. The resulting crackle is reminiscent of continuous machine gun fire.

In the Leningrad and Novgorod regions, it has been preserved as a hunting and children's tool.

Spent the night by the lake in a lowland, got out an hour before dawn from the tent. The fog is so dense that even the fingers on an outstretched hand are not visible, just gray nothing. Condensate flows down from the tent in a stream, the cold is terrible. I made tea and sat down to wait for dawn, hoping that the sun would disperse the fog. How wrong I was ... The fog was there almost until 11 o'clock in the afternoon.

Nothing special in the photo, just the fog

Great moment captured in Agonda, India, of this woman walking over rocks and the sun seemingly setting on her hed. A very special capture of a beautiful scene. Her pose is almost puppet like with her hands stretched out and her rucksack on her back.

Raven hair and ruby lips

Sparks fly from her fingertips

Echoed voices in the night

She's a restless spirit on an endless flight
