Hi !:)

I would like to show you a very special place. In the middle of big and loud city, there is a place... Stopped in time, without all those rush and noice, a real time machine :) I present to you:

Ethnographic Museum of the Silesia Province image

House of the peasant, 18th century, Silesian province.

Look familiar ? :)
Many of you, can see similarities to Witcher game, and you are right. Many things in game was inspired by old time Polish villages, let me show you, how it really look.

Let's go !

In home, we can see Bake (on the left) and Items of everyday use made from wood.

Granary was made from stone, to keep low temperature even in summer :)

Let's jump to next century.

Early 1900 brings many changes, let's take a look on it :)

*A peasant house from the early 1900's

As we see, straw is no longer material for roof :), and it's look more modern.

Wooden church

Religion was very important in Polish villages, even very small villages must had Church, and every Sunday it was full of believers.

This is very cool! Thanks for sharing this place!

Thanks for opinion :)

A po polsku nic? :(

Zastanawiałem się właśnie czy jest sens, dla nas to niespecjalnie egzotyczne okoliczności... Ale dopiero ogarniam, jeżeli będzie zainteresowanie... :)

Piszę o polskim, bo dałeś posta do taga polish. Staramy się tam publikować treści tylko po polsku (lub w kilku językach).

Faktycznie. Moje niedopatrzenie :( Następnym razem będzie poprawione :)
