Photos of the Day for June 5, 2017

Tsjerablichy-Machul’ Road.  Дарога Цераблічы-Мачуль.

The cobblestone road between Tsjerablichy- and Machul’ was laid down in 1988, using stone from Volhynia (Ukraine) which villagers from Tsjerablichy broke up and laid themselves.  The rougher texture of the surface differed from the more closely-fitted surfaces of Polish-era cobblestone roads…

…However, it was a great pleasure to drive the tree-shaded stretch leading west from Tsjerablichy, stopping to greet acquaintances along the way:  Granddad Paulik (☦2011) with his wife and great-grandson 2007.

In 2011 the district authorities “modernized” the road by overlaying the cobblestones with a thin, characterless and soon crumbling surface of gravel and asphalt.
