Sunset over Wojkow

A peaceful spring evening in central Poland. A sea of blooming rapeseed glowing in the last light of day. And above it all, the neo-Gothic tower of the Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Wojkow, silhouetted against a fiery sky filled with clouds and crepuscular rays.

Moss and Motion — A Quiet Corner of the Forest

Some places in the forest don’t stand out at first glance. No dramatic cliffs, no golden skies — just quiet textures, cool light, and the sound of water slipping over stone. This photo comes from one such spot: a shallow stream tucked into a mossy hollow, where the rocks seem to have been resting for centuries and the water moves as if time doesn’t quite apply.

Some evenings, light doesn’t fade — it transforms. This sunset over a still lake in central Poland unfolded like the sky’s slow exhale. Clouds rolled across the horizon, shifting from deep violet to fiery peach, while the water below mirrored every hue with painterly calm. Along the distant treeline, wind turbines stood in silent silhouette — not imposing, but quietly observant.

Harnessing the Wind

Nature creates its most powerful scenes in silence. On a calm afternoon in central Poland, a lone wind turbine stood beneath a towering cumulus cloud. It was a moment where the engineered and the elemental met in perfect stillness. This photograph goes beyond renewable energy or modern infrastructure. It’s about connection. The turbine, reaching skyward from the soil, mirrors the vertical surge of the cloud above — both shaped by the same invisible force: wind.

🌄 Photographed in the Land of Extinct Volcanoes, Lower Silesia, Poland
