Photo of the Day for July 10, 2012

Evening Light, Ploshchava 2012.  Вечарнае асьвятленьне, Плошчава 2012 год.

Ploshchava is one of a series of Pripet Marshes villages which have preserved a significant number of thatched roofs.  Storks prefer to nest on thatched roofs.  These villages thus continue to attract a healthy population of storks for their annual five-month stay in Belarus.
