Poland in photo riddles

because


depends on the soil and ages of the wood.

\

these are two different kinds of wood - the pale is beech (pol. buk), the orangy one is most probably alder ('olsza') - you can judge it also by the bark on the logs


actually alder wood is almost red when freshly cut -but it turns orange-yellow when dries (it pales even further when not stored in dry conditions)

Thanks.


Nope. Use all your intelligence!!!

actually it's not exactly true - it's the stumps that turn red after the tree has been cut - when freshly felled alder tree is very intensly orange with a bit of red hue - I guess the red coloring in the tree must come from the roots


if I knew what type of these were I could perhaps give you one reason why they were felled - why the stumps have been left so high is probably to allow off-road cars to be able to pull themselves out if they somehow manage to slide down the slope (most employees and contractors of Lasy Państwowe drive off-roads these days)

scratch that - I now think it pretty imposible even with the use of these stumps

maybe it's just to stop trailers from sliding off the road in muddier road condition

Shyt, man, you really impress me with your intelligence. :):):):) That is what I wanted to ask - why so tall stumps were left?

I also thought of their function of preventing the logging company`s trucks from falling downslope. But why did they cut the trees down at all?

You certainly scored a point here.

How often do I see these butterflies in Poland?

Whatever the reason, it has helped to improve the view. Nice scenery. Perhaps the roots from the trees were damaging the road/track?

they could have been alders (the photo is not clear enough to allow to judge me 100 per cent - but the bark can well be of the lower part of a grown alder tree) - alders are not a desired species in mountain locations as the wood is not very sought after - there is young tree plantation down there and a couple of beeches have been left when this section of forest was felled so that a couple of beech seedlings can grow from their seed - Grey Alder sows plenty of seeds and is pretty invasive will also mostly stop other trees from growing in their vicinity - the other reason could have been the branches overhanging the road - maybe also someone wanted to create a vista

to make furniture in Kalwaria....


that's a popular butterfly - paz krolowej...

Wow!


Yes and no!


Hmm, it is a long way to Kalwaria.

I have seen a couple years ago - I believe paź królowej ( papilio machaon)- is a protected species in Poland now - wikipedia says it was once pretty commong - intesification of agricalture led to it's decline presumably - as I said I haven't seen one in years

do you mean why is he lifting the baby or what is he going to do next?

This.

Looks like he's playing with the baby, on some type of jungle cruise ride.

the most logical answer would be he's gonna put the child into this funny rucksack seat - but then I guest the answer is much funnier or a bit strange :)

fart into baby's belly

do you come from Germany pgtx??? you have a very German sense of humour :P

I'll tell you what I would do next - I would sat the baby on her/his mother's neck next :) ;) - for a little fun :)

I know nothing about the grave - I just can conclude the burial took place in not so peaceful times

or maybe it's not a burial of a human being actually

I also guess so. The name Tunia carved on the rock doesn`t sound like human.

the cross is a very flimsy one - would be very unusual for a grave of a man - where I live there are a couple of marked graves (most probably of German soldiers, civilians or Werwolf partisans) lost in the forests - they all look much more solid even though they are not tended that much (no relatives, not much compassion from the current inhabitants)

I see.

Next one for intelligent people:

Did you know that.....???

you mean that deer's horns are a living tissue (untill some point at least?) - I guess it's clotted blood in the spot of a little broken off hook of deer's antlers

a second thought - isn't it a reindeer actually???

No, I knew about it. Guess again what I was surprised at.

I give up and go to bed :)

What the hell is the following thing?

• 
  What is it???
  

You do have strange taste for the colour of your sex toys...

Haha, keep guessing...

Boomerang Bratwurst - you eat it and it comes back

I think it's just 'rogal' - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kifli

Possibly a caterpillar?

I had to laugh and I am from Germany, so might be German sense of humour..... Did the person not mean "blow a raspberry" instead of actually farting? :-)
