To Krakow, by car, on business. Three recent return trips south along the S7 (E77) - Warsaw-Radom-Kielce-Kraków have proved to me this road's superiority to the Gierkówka (the dual carriageway built by communist leader Edward Gierek linking Warsaw to Katowice) and then the A4 motorway east to Kraków. Entering Kraks at rush hour, the jams to the centre are much shorter than those encountered coming off the A4 at Balice. And no motorway tolls.
I left home at five am, by 6:25, I'd just passed Radom, a full moon in the west, the sky just beginning to lighten, I felt that intense klimat that just had to be recorded (above).
Right: Shortly after sunrise.
I turn off the main road to get this shot.
Early morning mists were rising from the meadows, there was frost on the grass and on the trees.
Below: A little later on, the Polish road in all its winter glory.
Great pictures and a great video - definitely full of klimat that also works for me. What is the song playing on your video? It's great!

Not convinced about the video but the photos are great!
ReplyDeleteTwo thumbs up, one thumbs down for my second foray into the world of online cinematography.
ReplyDeleteI't all about what capturing what you see and feel at the time. To do so effectively, you need to know how to do it, and to have the right kit. Ansel Adams got a image of utter beauty that speaks to the soul (Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, 1941) because he knew how to compose and expose, and used 'the biggest camera he could carry'. Most people would have missed the shot, or got it wrong. One must learn.
The music, Nathali, is Junior Kimbrough's version of Crawling King Snake.
Love the video, the atmosphere of nighttime driving comes across nicely. The Blues goes well with this, too.
ReplyDeleteI like to dip into your site now and then here because a friend of mine is from Poland, and I like to take a look at her home country from different perspectives.
