SATURDAY 30 OCTOBER
Time for a quick walk before sunset. Below: Machcin II, looking south.
SUNDAY 31 OCTOBER
The clocks having gone back, I feel I must make the Most of that extra hour in the morning, and I was rewarded for setting ofp before 8am. The richness of the colours with the low morning sun cloaks the landscape in splendour.
Below: the path ahead leads me back to Jakubowizna; the path the right to Adamów Rososki.
Below: the path to the right leads to Adamów Rososki, the path to the left to Grabina
Below: eastern edge of the forest stretching east from Jakubowizna.
Below: west of Adamów Rososki
Below: morning sun on the tops of the birches, Jakubowizna
Below: looking along the road from Jakubowizna towards Grobice
Below: the road through the forest, between Machcin II and Jakubowizna.
Below: a few hundred metres past my działka, through the wood and into the orchards.
Below: field between the barns, off ul. Słoneczna, looking east.
Below: with long lens looking along ul. Słoneczna (lit. 'sunny street')/
Below: ul. Wspólna ('common street') in Chynów, approaching the border with Jakubowizna.
MONDAY 1 NOVEMBER
Below: the road south. Ulica Kolejowa (lit' 'railway street'), newly asphalted. Not all the way though, the station approach is still pot-holed and liable to flooding.
Below: Canonical Jakubowizna - one of the 'flashback' views that drew me here.
Below: ulica Spokojna (lit. 'peaceful street' - and such it is) runs between Chynów and Piekut, through a forest. At this time of year, no longer plagued by midges.
Below: ul. Spokojna as it approaches the railway crossing, halfway between Chynów and Krężel stations.
Below: approaching the village of Węszełówka, south of the village of Widok. The light is such that Photoshop cannot enhance a thing. Out of the box, with polarising filter.
Below: a strong mid-century U.S.A vibe here, under an azure sky.
Below: approaching Widok from the south
Below: Is this North Dakota? Are we in Minnesota? No. This is Widok, south of Jakubowizna. And in the picture, the village shop, famed locally for its wild-boar kiełbasa.

Great shots Michael, great sense of place. They make me want to hop on a plane and fly to Warsaw. Your walking posts are always the best, with my all-time favorite being "The Day, seized'. Keep up the good work !
