Photo of the Day for July 11, 2016

To Tsjerablichy in Polesia via Stoubtsy (R11 road to Njas’vizh), Njas’vizh (Vuzhanka), Kljetsk (Ruda), Hantsavichy (Kukava, Raz’dzjalavichy, Khatynichy), Pinsk (Dabraslauka, Mokraja Dubrava, Lahishyn, Akhova, Kaladzjejevichy, Bjarozavichy (Parshavichy), Sadovy, Pinsk, Mjestkavichy) and Stolin (Fjadory, Bjelavusha, Davyd-Haradok) Districts, spring 2016.

Twice during the spring of 2016 I followed a roundabout route to Tsjerablichy in order to photograph previously unvisited churches and other sites as well as re-photograph a cemetery which had been obscured by snow during the photo expedition with chairman of the Belarusian Society for the Preservation of Historical and Cultural Monuments Anton Astapovich (see photos of the day for April 22, 2016).

На Цераблічы праз Стаўбцоўскі (дарога Р11 на Нясьвіж), Нясьвіжскі (Вужанка), Клецкі (Руда), Ганцавіцкі (Кукава, Разьдзялавічы, Хатынічы), Пінскі (Дабраслаўка, Мокрая Дубрава, Лагішын, Ахова, Каладзеевічы, Бярозавічы (Паршавічы), Садовы, Пінск, Месткавічы) ды Столінскі (Фядоры, Белавуша, Давыд-Гарадок) раёны, два разы ўвесну 2016 г.

 

Beribboned tree near Njas’vizh.  I had not seen a beribboned tree in Belarus before this one.  Perhaps it is an example of the custom of women in other countries who tie ribbons to a special tree in the hopes of marriage or children.

Уздоўж дарогі Р11 пад Нясьвіжам.  Ці (як паводле падобнага звычая ў іншых краінах) гэтыя стужкі выказваюць надзеі на шлюб ці дзяцей?
