Returning into Poland from Slovakia, Eddie and I continued on foot towards the castle on the lake (now dammed) at Czorsztyn.
Rather than walk alongside the main road, we walked along the edge of the reservoir. As we neared the dam, we could here quite clearly the sound of brass bands playing. Some kind of a congregation had gathered along the top.
Above: A dramatic view of the dam's sluice gates and slipways. It turns out that the local voluntary fire brigades (OSPs) had organised a brass band parade this day, with the bands playing on a promontory between the sluice gates. There was a goodly crowd of families, friends and brass band afficionados, and a very pleasant, easy going festival mood.
No chance of the
Dam Busters March, then?
