I tried to get to the river - which is just meters away from here - but once I found myself on the riverbank I realized the morning fog was so dense I could not see the water.

Single RAW developed with ACDSee Pro 8 using a delicate split-tone effect. Some soft textures applied with OnOne Perfect Photo Suite, along with very delicate lens flare filter. Touched up with NIK Color Efex Pro to boost color locally.

Coming... in fact it's almost gone now, but somehow I forgot about this snap taken on the way to a small village shop.

Krubin Meadows on the Narew river – literally a backyard of my summer house – is a vast grassland dotted with clusters of trees and tiny lakes, bordered by small forests from the east and by the Narew river from the north and west.
A small village of Kępa Kikolska was once located there but it vanished years ago and no trace of it can be found today - the nature clawed back its share perfectly.
When the river rises high the meadows occasionally turn into marshlands but they never fail to impress with their calm beauty.
Wild boars love to roam around the area and beavers never stop to fell trees at the back of my small house.

A mighty tree, once burnt to the ground, still fights back.

One of the pillboxes located near beautiful Veisiejis Lake.
The lake, with its thirteen islands, is narrow and winds its way river-like through a heavily forested area. It's location – parallel to the former German-Soviet border – made it a perfect natural barrier. With bunkers dotting its eastern shore it might've became a nightmare for the assaulting enemy.

But this 3-embrasure heavy machine gun pillbox, much like all the others in the area, has never fired a single shot. Unmanned and with no armament installed became just another monument of the ill-fated Molotov Line.
