Polesia in winter.  Patrimony under threat:  allee at the beginning of the Tsjerablichy-Machul’ road 2017.  The Stolin District administration has already cut down other old allees (for instance between Azdamichy and Tsjerablichy), and this particularly graceful stretch appears to be in the administration’s sights as well. Палесьсе ўзімку.  Спадчына пад пагрозай:  алея на пачатку дарогі… Continue reading Photo of the Day for February 16, 2017
