Autumnal klimat

Sun outside – go get it. Wring out every minute of that precious light. Bathe the brain in photons. Leave office work until after dark. The snow's gone; daytime high today was a pleasant 12°C.

Below: good local news, ongoing for a couple of weeks – a pavement for ulica Wolska, the road from Chynów to Widok. More pavements, more folk may to tempted to leave the car and walk to the shops. And vastly safer. The 'built-up area' roadsign means 50km/h speed limit, but even so. (That's not snow on the new pavement; it's sand intended to work its way into the cracks between the paving blocks.)

Below: trundling to town, the Koleje Mazowieckie train between Krężel and Chynów. This service means I'm within easy reach of Warsaw (32 minutes from Chynów to W-wa Służewiec). Running parallel to the tracks is ul. Torowa ('Track Street').

Below: reverse view from the level crossing on ul. Spokojna ('Peaceful Street'), looking up the line towards Chynów station.

Below: traditional Mazowsze architecture at the far end of ul. Spokojna, as it reaches the village of Piekut. Next to this old house, a new bungalow is being built. The English pattern of moving out of town into the quiet of the countryside once enough wealth has been made is becoming the new Polish trend.
