Treasures of Nature and Architecture Waldemar Bzura Jerzy Kruszelnicki Leszek Sosnowski Amidst the Masurian forest wilderness you can encounter a lurking lynx, powerful bisons and ominous wolves. Thick forests hide places rarely seen by man. Old virgin forests and shores overgrown with reeds have lived in harmony with their ages - long rhythm, hiding many secrets within. Morning mists create a theatre of shadows and light reflexes. Luscious greenery contrasts with multiplicity of colours – a rainbow of butterflies, black and white storks, red poppies. A colourful palette changes with a touch of the seasons’ paintbrush. Also human creations, such as small churches, the Święta Lipka Sanctuary, picturesque villages, gravestones hidden in the thicket belong in the landscape created by nature. All that was immortalized by the camera belonging to Waldemar Bzura, a dweller of this land. Thanks to his unique photography we will see fleeting young foxes, "a pensive egret", delicate and fragile leaves lighted by sunshine, a wrinkled polypore and impressive frozen lakes, winding rivers, tree-lined roads. An engrossing text by Jerzy Kruszelnicki will answer many important questions and will serve both as a guide in the travel across the album pages and an enticement for you to visit Masuria.
