Below: my garden, Jakubowizna, emerging from the overnight snow.
Below: moss-covered tree branch, snapped off in the wind - the greenness is as it was, untweaked in Photoshop.
Below: setting off for my walk - passing between the orchards. The dirt track is waterlogged.
Below: reaching into the zenith to catch an (increasingly rare) four-engined aircraft - this is Cargo Air Logic's Boeing 747-400F at 38,000ft over Mazovia.
Below: the canonical birches, where the orchards give way to the forest.
Bonus pics, Sunday 13 February...
Below: the crossroads east of Jakubowizna, Machcin II. Look at the size of the puddles...
Below: the east end of Jakubowizna, that '50s USA vibe strong in the clear air, under the wires.
Below: the west end of Jakubowizna, half an hour before sunset. Note the moon.
Below: passing trains between Chynów and Krężel - that's the approaching lights of my train back to Jeziorki, the 16:31 from Chynów. Note the vintage military trucks on either side of the level crossing.
Less than half an hour after leaving Chynów, I'm back in W-wa Jeziorki
Below: quarter of an hour after sunset. Three cars sit in a muddy field that passes for the local Park+Ride
Fruit Street * (ul. Owocowa); the land is prepared for new apples trees.
The railway line at the bottom of Fruit Street; a southbound InterCity train passes by at speed. Sitting in a train, looking out of the window, I'd wonder about the lives of the people I see in the passing landscapes. Looking at the passengers rushing by - what makes them journey between Warsaw and Kraków this Sunday?
Below: looking south towards the road leading to Warka. Note the waterlogged fields at the bottom

"Desert sky
Dream beneath a desert sky
The rivers run but soon run dry
We need new dreams tonight
Desert rose
Dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dress torn in ribbons and in bows
Like a siren she calls to me"
"In God's country" by U2, from the monumental "Joshua Tree" album released in 1987
