Sometimes, you need to write, but not here. Not yet.


A picture from almost 30 years ago when I was exploring the area of southern Poland where I'd just moved...

I found a whole batch pictures from that period that I had forgotten I'd scanned.


A photo from a couple of summers ago. It could have just as well been from 1996, though, as that building has not changed at all.

Poland--the country that manages to surge forward and stand still all at the same time.
Found a never-posted video.
I was very surprised for a moment when checking the Time Machine widget at the bottom of the site: only four entries for this day?! And then I remembered the date.

And realized one of the entries had to do with the kitchen remodel Babcia and Dziadek decided to do when K and I got engaged. They'd planned to do something else with the money, but in the end, they went for the remodel. "If we're going to have guests from the States..." I seem to recall Dziadek explaining.
Looking at that picture, I think how much younger Babcia looked. It was twenty years ago, and it hits me: in this picture, she's only a handful of years older than I am now. And the last two decades have simply floated by without any effort and little notice.

And the next two decades?

A century-old shot of an old school in Lipnica. I passed this building every time I left or arrived in Lipnica.
