Midsummer evening, Jeziorki

Moni and I go for a short evening walk around Jeziorki. Perfect weather and light.

Above: barn on ul. Trombity, by our house. The oats are ripening and will have been harvested within the next four weeks, by which time they will have turned golden in colour.

Above: flooded woodland on ul. Dumki; as last year, the surface of the water has become covered with algae in bloom. And the far end of Dumki, as it was last year, is still under water, so we are forced to detour through farmland across to ul. Baletowa.

Left: as we approach our house, crossing the field from ul. Sarabandy, a Polish Air Force YAK-40 from the 36th Special Aviation Regiment flies overhead. Moni is surprised that they're still flying. This one is 32 years old (which actually is not that old in modern aircraft terms). We ponder on how the Smolensk catastrophe still looms large in everyday life in Poland.

The barn photograph - just perfect. Could be rural North America in a field of dreams. Perfectly framed. It has a real sense of peace and history about it.

Right now I'm observing a beautiful sunset. Looking forward to seeing some snaps of the sky
