Poezja to ból i cierpienie... i piękno pisania...

Hen, zza Wielkiej Wody...

Przedni Staw w Dolinie Pieciu Stawów.

Today a very unique picture, even in East-Poland; an old bread oven and fresh own backen Polish farmers bread, juist like the farmers did since century's. On the floor is standing churn (a device for making a butter - cream turn into butter) Bread is a traditional Polish food. After summer harvest in villages all over the country farmers have a special celebration day called "Dozynki", day of the end of harvest. That day, people gather together to sing, dance, thank God and taste the first bread made from "seeds of the summer".

The park is located in the Leczynsko-Wlodawskie Lake District (Lublin Polesie) and includes a unique flatland of extensive peat bogs and swamps, which in places is reminiscent of the tundra or the transitional zone between tundra and taiga. The peat bogs shelter many species of rare and relict plants. The park area is the nesting site of numerous water birds. The park is also a refuge to such animals as elk, wolves, and the rare marsh turtle.

Willows in the spring.

Janow Podlaski - there are world famous arab horse studs, and old stables from the 19th century. Although the Polish state stud, Janow Podlaski, dates its history back to 1817. For nearly two centuries, the wealthiest horse lovers have bought from the Janow Podlaski stables. Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts owns several dozen Polish Arabians, and oil baron Armand Hammer once paid $1 million for one. Janow saw its biggest sales in the 1980s, when Hammer bought the stallion El Paso for $1 million. That was followed by the $1.5 million sale of the mare Penicylina. Bandos, a horse that appeared in the television show "Dynasty" sold for $806,000.
