The air was cold, and the ground crunched under my feet as I walked. I drove to Lake Bystrzyckie to check if the water level was rising. The dam is finally repaired, and the water is slowly returning, filling the empty basin. The quiet was broken only by the wind, and the winter landscape felt still.

#### Today, despite the frosty weather, I stepped outside to capture a few frames of the first frozen, frosty morning to test out the simulation of the famous Agfacolor film from the 1940s. My Fuji camera and RAW files gave me the opportunity for precise editing, and in post-production, I applied an effect inspired by this historic film emulsion.

#### Agfacolor – a pioneering color technology from World War II – introduced completely new, vibrant colors, different from other color methods like the popular Technicolor in the USA. Agfacolor allowed for a three-layer emulsion effect, giving photos depth and color intensity. That’s why, as a lover of the cinematic look, I felt it was worth checking how these unique colors would work in my photography.

#### The history of Agfacolor is equally fascinating – after the war, this technology became the basis for further innovations by Kodak, which used the acquired knowledge to develop its own color systems, further revolutionizing color photography.

#### The result? Judge for yourselves. The shots gained depth and a slightly nostalgic atmosphere that evokes classic films.

# A Birthday Surprise: A Tree from My Neighbors


The other day, I came home to the most unexpected gift: a tree, freshly planted in my yard. My neighbors—amazing, thoughtful people—had done it all while I was away. They didn’t just give me a gift; they left a living reminder of friendship, a symbol of time and shared connection.

When I thanked them, Mrs. Ewa, always wise with her words, said, **_“One day, we won’t be here, but this tree will be.”_** A statement so simple, yet so profound. The tree will grow as a testament to their presence and friendship, a piece of them rooted right here, carrying its own story already.

It’s one of those moments that makes you feel deeply connected to where you are and who you’re with. I love it here. It feels alive; it feels like home.

As Seneca once said, **_“Life is long, if you know how to use it.”_** This tree is a gentle reminder of that truth. It will grow, season after season, a reminder of lives lived well and friendships that endure.

# The Beauty of Helping Hands

In the city, you often feel lonely amidst the crowd. Here, in the mountains, you know you can rely on someone. There’s something primal, something real about living in harmony with nature and the people around you. Everyone knows their place and capabilities, but most importantly, everyone is ready to lend a hand when needed.

The mountains teach simplicity, humility, and how important those small, everyday moments are that shape our lives.

The wall by our small mountain church was damaged by the recent flood. Instead of waiting for outside help, the villagers spontaneously decided to fix it. Without grand plans or formalities – they just took up their tools and got to work.

When the mountains are your home, you learn that no one is left alone.

Every gesture of help has tremendous value.

The Beauty of Helping Hands

I saw Fantasia again today, this time on a walk through the fog. There she was, standing in the field, gently swaying her head. The sight of her emerging from the thick, milky mist felt like something out of a fairytale. I was happy to see her, but at the same time, a wave of sadness washed over me. This time, she was tethered by a chain.

Even as I write this, something inside me rebels against the idea. Should animals really be kept on a leash like that? Such a beautiful, free-spirited creature deserves freedom, not confinement. Of course, I had apples for her—like always. But even those sweet gifts can’t make up for the loss of freedom.

Chained Beauty in the Mist

Stepping out of the house this morning, I didn't expect to see a horse behind my fence. My first thought? Someone must have dropped her off.

As it turns out, she’s a beautiful mare named Fantasia, who had escaped from her owner’s field. She made herself right at home, eating five of my apples and drinking four buckets of water. Friendly, charming, and absolutely wonderful. I think I might have fallen in love with this gentle horse!

Maybe I should put up a sign on my fence: _No horse parking allowed! :)_

Life out here in the mountains, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, never ceases to surprise me. Every day, a new adventure.

I love it here.

No Horse Parking! :)

It's been raining non-stop for five days in Poland, and the situation is turning serious with floods in several areas. Diego is patiently waiting for the storms to pass, but the downpour shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. The constant rain has created challenging conditions for everyone.

Endless Rain, Rising Waters

#### Morning Walk in the Fog.

#### These walks are a reminder of the beauty in the stillness, a chance to slow down and simply be. In the fog, everything feels a little softer, a little quieter, and in that quiet, I find a kind of peace that is rare and precious. It’s a moment to breathe deeply, to feel alive, and to remember why I chose this place to call home.

#### The fog wraps itself around the trees, turning them into silhouettes, their forms only hinted at in the distance. The silence is profound, broken only by the occasional rustling of leaves or the distant call of a bird.
