We swam, did laundry, and launched a boat. Astrakhan journalists created a photo project starring puddles. 

After the rains, Astrakhan's puddles turn into seas. Journalists from Arbuz have created A humorous photo project that demonstrated how artificial reservoirs can be used. 

Carrying water with a yoke, washing clothes on a Soviet-era washboard, paddling in a rubber boat or sap, launching a paper boat—the huge puddles are suitable for everything but a normal walking route.

The photo project was taken at the end of July, but journalists published it now for two reasons. First, the new storm drain system is finally operational, and the historic puddles may disappear forever. Second, the autumn storms with torrential rains are coming—so the selection is timely! 

Huge puddles are a common sight in Russian cities. For example, in Yartsevo, Smolensk. the children were swimming in a huge courtyard puddle for the soul, not for a photo project. And the residents of Orel fought with puddles using funny memes, but in vain.
