Today I took a short bike ride to the river shown in some of my photos. It is named Vistula or Wisla in Polish. Oh, what a sad view! Erosion of the riverbank is very dramatic and trees on the riverbank continue to topple into the river. The beautiful pine tree under which I sit in the "Contemplating what lies ahead" photo is gone! Oh, what a loss. What's more, the trees shown in the "Enjoying a breath of fresh air" photo are soon going to follow its fate. On the other hand, my photo now has historical value. A view gone forever. |
