Photographer's Note
You are probably surprised seeing this picture. What is interesting in it? I agree, nothing. The reason is this. I noticed that on my Poland map in TE, there are two white patches. One is in the north-western corner, near Szczecin, ane another is in Podlasie - the northeastern corner. I find it a shame that not all the map is yellow.
I went to St. Petersburg by bus through Lithuania (Kaunas) and Latvia (Daugavpils). 1200 km. something like 20 hours because they are slow at the Latvian-Russian border. It is a good thing to realize that there are few borders in Europe. So, it is just to put yellow on my Poland map. The landscape is typical of Podlasie, flat, with the corn or wheat fields.
Podlachia or Podlasie, is a historical region in the eastern part of Poland. Podlachia is the land of the confluence of cultures – mainly Polish and Belarusian – and is indicative of the ethnic territories li
mits. East of Podlachia lie ethnically non-Polish lands, while westward ethnically non-Ruthenian. Today, Polish is spoken in western, northern and southern Podlachia, while Belarusian in eastern areas. rnPodlachia is also the cultural center of Poland's small Tatar minority as well. After the annexation of eastern Poland into the Soviet Union following World War II, Poland was left with only 2 Tatar villages, Bohoniki and Kruszyniany (both outside the historical borders of Podlachia). Some Tatars from the territories annexed to the USSR have been repatriated to Poland and clustered in cities, particularly Białystok. In 1925 the Muslim Religious Union (Muzułmański Związek Religijny) was formed in Białystok.
I hope you will find it nice anyway.

Hello Malgo ,
Ah ah , only to put in yellow another region ! But I don't agree with you : the rural landscape is quite commonplace , but the golden fields are beautiful , and above all , the sky is splendid .

Hello Malgo,
Nice photos both of them. Here the clouds are very pretty, in the WS I like the view of the river next to the many trees. The light is good in both photos. I see that the beta site adds new districts to the country maps, but it doesn't add new countries to the world map. You have lots of recent countries missing on the beta map.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Malgo,
The length of the field is giving depth to the composition. I like the pattern of the clouds. The point of view is showing the details of the field. Have a nice day.

Hello Malgo, it is the clouds that attracted my attention, they are beautiful.
A good composition using the rule of thirds. It informs us about this particular part of the world, nothing wrong in that.

Hello Malgo,
Your second picture is also wonderful with the long river.
The main picture a little bit or out Flemish Ardennes in Belgium.
Splendid country side with wheat.
Nice perspective and depth picture
Pleasant to look at.
Very well done, TFS.
Best regards,
John.

Taki nizinny krajobraz tez ma swoj urok, zwlaszcza gdy do tego pojawia sie na niebie ciekawe chmury, podoba mi sie.
Na pewno masz z Podlasia inne zdjecia w swoim archiwum :)

Ciao Malgo.The photo looks like a landscape of my countryside, nothing exceptional but really beautiful in composition, colors and sky. So useful to cover the spot that was missing in your Polish map, it is certainly not like my Italian which is practically empty .. haha ... also the WS with the river that I didn't know was nice. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hi Malgo
A good photo worthy of TE and not just for turning the map yellow. Except for the wrong trees it could have been taken on my recent backroads trip.
Cheers

Hello Malgo,
It's always good to get a little extra yellow on a map. And this landscape is very attractive, especially with this beautiful blue sky with friendly, fluffy clouds. Great job.

Malgorzata, absorbing photo note about the trip from Poland to Russia. A 20 hours journey by bus should be tiring. To contemplate the landscapes from the window is an asset not possible by flight. Splendid flat region where the wheat is cultivated for as far as the eye can see.

Hello Malgo
A nice pastoral scene from east Poland of ripening grain and green fields. Good sharpness, colour and saturation. I'm glad you could add some more yellow to your mp! Tfs!

Hello Malgo,
It is a very beautiful picture of summertime in the fields.
I particularly like that splendid sky with the pretty white clouds spread over the upper part of the picture.
An infinite space for dreaming.
Best regards, Paul

Zupelnie inny pejzaz niz na tym nastepnym zdjeciu.
Bardzo fajne "artystyczne" chmurki, z fantazja rozrzucone po niebie. Super kolory i contrast miedzy niebieskim i zoltym.
Moja mapa Polski pozostawia wiele do zyczenia. :-( Nie pamietam nawet, czy mam zdjecia z wielu miejsc, ktore odwiedzilam w dziecinstwie, takich jak Torun czy Ciechocinek.
Zycze milego weekend.

Hello Malgo
For me a bit strange motivation to post this photo. Making the world map yellow is not the goal of TE, isn’t it.
Fortunately the picture is the special enough to post. It gives a beautiful image of the landscape of this area as it looks probably for centuries and the beautiful cloudy sky gives the photo extra shine.
Have a nice day. Groet Rob

Hello Malgo,
There is nothing wrong with posting photos of open fields. It shows us the pretty countryside of Podlaskie. Not every photo of on TE should be from famous tourist sites. In fact, I appreciate photos of ordinary locations more. I also love the sky in this photo. 👍🏻👍🏻
Regards,
MT
