Fascinating. Thanks for sharing! Really brings some of the visuals that I was recently thinking about to life.

Love that train station in Bialowieza.   Reminds me of Cape May, NJ.   I must admit when I first opened your post I was a tinge disappointed they were not original color photos   You have us spoiled now BlessOTMA!   They were all wonderful -  except for the photo of the poor bison.  Thanks for posting.
