The Białowieża Forest, one of the last remainders of the great Primeval Forest of Europe, which took its current shape about ten thousand years ago. It straddles the border between Poland and Belarus, and is a strictly protected area.
For these last two weeks, I was in a small village in one of the forest glades, working on an animated film workshop with some local teenagers. On our last day, we biked to the strict preserve area at five in the morning and took a magical, quiet walk in the virgin woodland.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful forest! But, yes, in my experience at this time of year the birds are mostly done with their singing. :)
