Spring in the Land of Extinct Volcanoes — yellow canola fields meet the iconic silhouette of Ostrzyca
Spring in Poland transforms the countryside into a vivid tapestry of colors — and few sights are more iconic than miles of blooming canola fields under soft skies. This photo captures one such moment, where golden rapeseed blossoms stretch toward the horizon, meeting the dramatic silhouette of Ostrzyca. Often nicknamed the “Polish Fuji” for its striking, conical shape, Ostrzyca towers above the landscape as a quiet witness to the region’s volcanic past.
First signs of spring — a small but determined coltsfoot bloom breaks through the bare soil
There’s something magical about the first signs of spring. Life pushes through the cold, hard earth. It seems as if it is refusing to wait any longer. On a recent bike ride through the Polish countryside, I found one of nature’s earliest heralds of the season. The bright yellow flowers of coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) were defiant against the barren soil.
