Poland in photo riddles - part 2

@Cargo pants, no idea... I imagine it's something exotic?

And what this is?:

• 
  
  

A model village or town.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego???????????


Its a fruit called "Custard Apple"

PS:Are you real or a clone ?lol

Not of a village or a town, but, yes, I guess you could say it's a model, because it's an imitation of a real building in Poland :)

Which building?❓


Yes! This building has been built entirely from LEGO bricks :)


✨I'm the only, real, original Paulina! lol✨

Btw, I've googled "Custard Apple" and it looks inside like cherimoya. Does it taste similar?

Częstochowa Black Madonna Monastery? The one sieged by Swedes, defended and miraculously saved by Kmicic aka Babinicz?


Looks like fruit called cherimoya. I like it.
PS. I didn`t look at your later answer, I knew it from my own experience.

@pawian, yes! It's the Jasna Góra Monastery in Częstochowa which contains the famous Black Madonna icon :) It was founded in 1382 by Pauline monks who came from Hungary at the invitation of Władysław, Duke of Opole. The monastery has been a pilgrimage destination for hundreds of years.

That LEGO model is part of a big, awesome exhibition called "Historyland" which depicts Poland's important historic buildings and Polish historical events from the times of Biskupin to the Solidarity times during the communism.

The most epic part of that exhibition is the Battle of Grunwald with thousands of knights :)))

This exhibition is placed in Poznań in Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie. It was an idea of three friends who are fans of history and LEGO bricks :) They even set up a LEGO store just to be able to import to Poland the bricks they needed to built all those models (over 1 million bricks). They've built the models in their garages with the help of historians. There's a store there too, so you can buy LEGO sets :)

I think this is a great idea and a fun way to teach kids about Polish history :)

lol yea,yea yea the clone would say same lol


YES.


Ive been there so many people donate so many things like there walking cane and wheelchairs,jewelry etc

@Cargo pants; people donate things....
It's all because of miraculous healings e.t.c.

What's going on here?

@mafketis, I have no idea... lol Are those flowers and some green stuff?

it's wiecha

and.....???

@mafketis

it marks having completed a phase in constructing a house if I understand correctly - maybe the phase where you have walls up but not the roof - my knowledge of the subject is pretty superficial as you have probably noticed

Huh, it even crossed my mind, because it looks like the building is under construction, but I had no idea that there's actually such a custom:

Good riddle, maf :)

What do you see?

• 
  
  

Knows on an old cooker/ hob?

:):):) Yes, you passed this test although it isn`t old - bought brand new two months ago.

What is this veg?

• 
  
  

To me it looks a bit like walnut shell so I have no idea

This shell isn`t walnut`s but it contains tasty food, too.

Its little brother: And look at the surroundings:

With one riddle pending, let`s have another one:

This is special coz I don`t know the answer - what is this plant exactly? It is a quite decorative flower, all crimson. I found it in the field last year and collected the seeds for future use in the front yard.

I tried to google it out but without effects.

• 
  
  

It looks like one of the varieties of Amaranthus.

I don't think they're native to Poland however there are some in r*SSia and of course someone could have brough some seeds.

RuSSists on our farm????? I will be Pawlak to them Karguls. hahaha

I checked it and still have doubts although your guess is much better than what I had found. Typical amaranthus has crimson flowers and green leaves, while my plant is all dark crimson.

But it must be it coz nothing else reminds it so closely.
Thanks. :):)

What can you see?

• 
  
  

I think there's a relative of amaranth, a while family of plants even, called pigweed.

Some varieties have a red stem and in some countries they eat it.

But obviously don't eat it unless it really is an edible kind.

I don't know what this is, must be something exotic... The leaves look kind of familiar though... Is it a fruit or a veg?


Pieces of concrete?

I'd say it looks like kiwano (horned cucumber, horned melon), but I thought kiwano is a fruit...

Of course it is, I wouldn`t show it if it wasn`t. :):):): Not so exotic as it seems coz it can be grown in Polish climate but it does need warm temperatures.


Yes, exactly, they are important coz they look almost the same as in the popular Polish veg. To get a better clue, look at the background. :):)


Yes, I see it is too difficult but I can`t show you another snapshot of this site coz I deleted it from my camera. I will be driving next to that place next week and will take a better photo. Sorry.:):)

Edit:

Yes, kiwano!!! Spiky cucumber!!! hahaha Very good. Congratulations. Polish women are the bestest!!!!:):):)
I sowed a dozen seeds but only one grew.
No, it isn`t fruit, but veg ,the same family as Polish pumpkin or cucumber.

????????

:D

Ah, so that's why those leaves looked familiar - cucumber has similar leaves! :) Cool. 😎


I've read that in our climate it has to be grown in greenhouse conditions.

Yes, but this year`s summer has been hot enough. I don`t have any greenhouses coz they require a lot of watering and I am mean as I already said.
