Палесься ў тварах: Міхаіл і Марына з дачкой Дашачкай. Вельмі прыемна было здымаць… Continue reading Photos of the Day for October 22, 2016

Horses by dyke at the River Moustva, Tsjerablichy 2016. As mechanized transport becomes more prevalent in the central Pripet Marshes, more and more small-holders have given up using horses. It is thus even more of a welcome sight to see some of the remaining horses in Tsjerablichy grazing by the dyke. The dyke was erected… Continue reading Photo of the Day for October 20, 2016

Christ is Born! Віншую з Раством Хрыстовым! З Різдвом Христовим!

A new church bell for Tsjerablichy (II/II). Новы звон для Церабліч (II/II). A witty and wise Belarusian acquaintance notes that every bell has a soul, and that we think of bells as we think of the forest: they sing, breathe, weep, hum and harmonize, call out, sigh longingly, and laugh leapingly.
