The Mesquta

I have already been in The Mesquta. I don’t remember a lot from that time. Only a forest of columns and my thoughts about the price we must pay for ours decisions. Now I would like to keep in my memory also an orange’s garden, pavements made of small stones completed in mosaics and a mascaron – a dog or maybe a devil on one of decorative bars in the Cathedral.

Watra

This is Watra. She is very smart and faithful dog. Most of her time she spends sitting on a part of stairs in front of the house of her master. She looks then like a lion on sculptured lion.

Równia

This time my stay in the Bieszczady Mountains was connected with my work. I was on a project workshop there. It was difficult for me to accept all obligation and responsibilities. All those views and smells of clean air I associate with freedom and rest. It was of course some nice things besides work. For example I could see again the orthodox church in Równia, which I consider as the most beautiful between wooden churches of this region.

a desk in Prowincja Café

There is an innovation in Prowincja Café. Of course apple cake and cappuccino are good as always. The same thing is with waiters – nice and friendly like Amelia in the movie about Amelia. Fortunately owners of the Café removed white tables from summer garden and exchanged them for old, antique school’s desks. People smile to each other seeing that. They like to seat there and have some coffee. I even observe a lady who explained to her young son, for what there was a hole in a table of the desk (a bottle of ink) and gutter (for a pen).

gobblin, gnome... ?

One day I went for a walk to the mountains to Dwernik Kamień. A path was leading via forest. It was hard way, all the time up and up. After two hours I was very tired. Suddenly I saw a forest gnome, or other kind of monster. It had a body of a tree and orange eyes. Before I get afraid, I said to myself that it couldn’t be real and it mast be a problem with my mind because of tiredness. But it was real – as you can see it was a tree with some signs made by foresters.

Ajzik

I went for a walk with my dog. Suddenly he groaned and started to limp. I was worried by that. My dog is old and he had two operations on his knees some years ago. I was expecting many complications. I was even afraid that this time he could not survive from it. I took him to home, gave him some goodies, I hugged him. He was a bit surprised at my tenderness but accepted it with a joy and didn’t care about his leg. In the evening he recovered.

it was a chair I think...

Newcastle 9 – 13 June 2008
This is a roof of a discotheque. Behind it there is a gallery, around a very nice square. I didn’t notice the chair at first time, but it seems to me the most interesting – I could see it only from my window.

bench

In the photo: a shop window in Venice. It shows how different might look a bench, with a young couple in love and old, probably married couple. The shop window reminded me a story from a train to Warsaw. An old lady said that passing time makes stops in trains higher and higher. People waiting for stopping a train stared to laugh at her joke about loosing fitness because of age. One passenger said to her that he has force to keep steps in the same size like last year just by helping her with her luggage. She accepted the offer with charm and gratitude. On the platform she said that indeed steps were not higher then last year thanks to him.

Bridge over Wetlinka river

During a mountain trip we stopped for a moment on a small bridge over the Wetlinka stream. I noticed a wasp holding a piece of leaf. I didn’t know that it is possible for a wasp to collect things like for example leafs. But definitely the wasp took it to its burrow. The burrow was, I suppose, in the railing of the bridge. The wasp tried to go in though a hole in rusty weld. It tried many times without any effect because the leaf was to heavy, but finally it succeeded and disappeared in the railing.
