Around Białowieża: part one

20140829


here are some of the random photos I took during our stay in Białowieża, Poland...

▲the mammal institute▲
▲the apartment building where we were staying▲
▲these sheep were literally in our backyard and we could see them from our kitchen.  so every morning max would watch the "deep" while eating breakfast▲
▲the park that was located right next door▲
▲max and his weird fascination with his shadow▲
▲a nature center in the park▲
▲a giant tree that we would sometimes go to because max was small enough to hide in the branches▲
▲around the park▲
▲the orthodox church next to the institute aka max's playground▲
▲some of the homes in the area were just beautiful▲
left photo: every home we passed had flowers… right photo: and fences▲
▲these things are everywhere▲
▲getting ready for a hike.  even though it was really, really hot, we had to wear long sleeves and pants because of the bugs… kinda like back home in new york…▲
▲ran into the last tour of the primeval forest before we went▲
▲GIANT horse fly.  watch out they bite hard!▲
▲toads were everywhere… big toads & small toads… so many we were afraid to step anywhere especially after it rained▲
▲max and gigi waiting for dad▲
▲of course we managed to find the saturday market▲
▲i'm usually ok with birds, but this guy was freaking me out▲
▲bison crossing!▲

to be continued…
