Blue Churches of Eastern Poland
On the 4th of July weekend I decided to drive through Podlasie region of Poland (North-East). At first I did not have any specific plan...just I, my husband, Nikon d40 camera in the backpack...and an open mind.
While passing through small villages of that desolate region, I became more and more fond of its beautiful scenery. By far the most striking were blue churches scattered through remote settlements inhabited by people of Greek Orthodox faith. I could clearly feel the air of mysticism and hundreds years of tradition. Those churches, very unique in Poland, made a great impression indeed. I decided to perpetuate them in my small gallery...Please take look and judge for yourself.
