Above: seven am, ul. Karczunkowska, Jeziorki. Looking across the fields at the edge of Warsaw; the treeline in the distance marking the city's limits. The low morning sun casts shadows over a characteristically Polish strip-field of cabbages; whether they will ever be harvested will depend on the price of the crop. All too often, if the price is low, it's not worth the farmer's effort to gather it in, and so the cabbages, carrots or onions rot in the fields, catching the frost and snow first.
Above: five pm, ul. Kępna, Stara Praga. A courtyard chapel, something characteristic of left-bank Warsaw. Well-tended, with candle-lit statue of Mary.
Moni points out that Stara Praga is a like a watered-down version of Łódź.

I love the light and colours from your photography. My quick snaps never seem to come out so crisp. Look forward to hearing about your weekend adventures in due course.
