Dear Mieszko!
You have visited our country for the session of photos. I've spent all my life here (except traveling). I know well the sad history of our country in many editions. And I can't say 'we live not right' etc. I'll tell you again: don't be sure U've understood our culture, our soul, our world outlook. I've heard lots of 'sad' belarussian songs, but they were sad only superficially. Think about it. Mieszko, where did u take the fact that Amount of citizens felt down by 3 million since 2004? Last summer I saw too many pregnant women (I'm not a gynecologist) to say that our nation is vanishing :)

Well at least this shot has an idea.... Red suit - red flowers..... Unfortunately I can't say the same about other your pictures.

But again - another stupid comment from Sakuto...
As far as I see this shot was taken in the End of August....
The first of September is a first day in our schools....
It's a tradition here to bring teachers flowers on the first of September... but again this is not interesting for Sakuto....... USSR fantoms still attacking You in Your dreams And You wake up every night in cold swet ..... Open your eyes Sakuto - the world is beautiful
