Niemirov is the last village before the Bielorussian border. Many of its houses are made out of wood and most of its inhabitants are elderly people.

Hej Daniel,
Nice shot of this village. The road leads the eye nicely towards the houses. The man is a fine addition. Good work!
Hilsen,
Lars

Hola Daniel.

Me gusta la composición con el hombre a la derecha, la casa, más o menos, a la izquierda y la carretera que lo cruza todo.

Bonitos colores también.

Un saludo, Oscar

The Polish countryside..yeah its getting OLD. People moving out, villages getting depopulated. Young people want to be in cities. I dont blame them, Id never want to live in the country. But this is a typical small Polish village you got here. Even the level of activity is pretty much typical. It does remind me of my childhood though, so its a cool nostalgia trip.

Salut Daniel,
Une scene toute simple mais avec une bonne lumiere et surtout la presence de ce passant qui balance idealement la composition. Donc, si j'ai bien compris la note les ennuis commencent a la sortie du village, cote est...
Bon week end,
Jean-Yves

How important a 'human element' is to some kind of pictures" ?
You just proved Daniel - very important.
From a standard snap, you magically created a watchable photgraphy for our pure enjoyment.

Hi Daniel
Perfect use of the 200mm to press together details as here. I like the lone road and the placement of the guy out Sunday strolling. Good way to it compowise.

Hello Daniel!
This is Polish Village daily life!
It's simple, sometimes sad and hard ....
Thanks for explain true.

Hello Daniel this is a nice shot of this little village. It is so peaceful with just one person walking down the road (plus you of course!) I like the curve of the road. It is graceful but also enigmatic - I want to know what is around the corner...
