Barn Storming.

Sometimes in life we miss out because we are in a rush. When in Warsaw, I am always seeing people whirl around me, running for buses, trams, trains when chances are they would only need to wait a maximum of ten minutes for the next one. When we rush, we miss the little things. I remember when I would catch the train to work and walk down Rundle Mall in Adelaide. At first I would always rush to get to work early, then one day a woman smiled at me, it made me smile. I then continued to smile at people as I walked down the mall those morning following, some people smiled back, some thought I was a serial killer but it was this that slowed me down. Then I started to look around me, it was so early in the morning there wasn't many people to be smiling at like a chuckle headed loon, so I started to look past the shop window displays and the horribly ugly signage associated with sales, new shipments, or whatever else they would try to rope the customers in with. I looked up, I saw the old building facades the beautiful bricks that you would never see in the "glitz" of the shop fronts. From then on I have tried to look at all the little things around me. From sewer covers, to building finishes. So this post is about the little bits of a 100 year old barn in Sokolka.

The devil is in the detail.

Farmers Park(et) - if you go down to the woods today..........

Something great about where I live is that there is quite a lot of green within easy touching distance. There aren't really any decent sized parks to jog around, but there is a big forest. So what would you expect to see?

Nettles

pretty nettles

angry looking nettles

wild flowers maybe

trees, no doubt

However, this is only a very small part of what you will encounter in Kabaty. As, just before you can enter the forest you actually have to cross a farmer's land. Which, to be honest, you have to feel for him a bit. There must be hundreds or thousands of bikes, dogs, prams, the odd dirt bike, the main inhabitant of these areas is a bipedal creature often passing through, other times lying in or some even stealing small "samples" of his planted fields.

A typical scene

But, look a little closer.

Near naked

Dogs and evil gingers

Graffiti

An more bipeds escaping

I tried to take another photo of these two people to give an example of the space and size of this non-traditional thoroughfare.

They are having fun.

I zoomed in on the photo to see they are taking photos

On closer look they are just again trying to get nude.

So you travel a small well worn road to find the true farm

Peas

Barley

Looks just as good in black and white

Wheat

Decent head of wheat that.

Potatoes in flower

Who ever thought potatoes could be pretty?

And what is this? A love heart bush?

No, it is just a wild horseradish

What is this odd creature? I think it eats only wheat

Here it is caged and trying to escape into the forest, like so many other bipedal creatures.
