Latyhol’.

A Baltic toponym, suggesting that this immediate area was settled long ago by Latgalians, i.e., forebears of today’s Latvians.  Like so many other Belarusian villages, Latyhol’ has suffered a marked loss in population, but the village commendably appears to have maintained its vigor.

Латыголь.

Балтскі этнанім.

 

Timeless Belarusian summer scenes:  a horse grazing in the yard, classic decorative gables and window frames, a venerable storks’ nest, and a well-maintained roadside shrine.

Пазачасовыя летныя сцэны ў паўночнай Беларусі: шчаслівы конь на двары, майстроўскае ўпрыгожаньне хаты, саліднае кубло, прыдарожная каплічка ў добрым стане.
