The eastern part of Poland which we visited had scores of sometimes picturesque small (population c. 100) villages. Their inhabitants often tended to be elderly, extremely religious, and sometimes speaking strange dialects (given that the region has oscillated between Polish, German, (White) Russian and even Ukranian hands). I sometimes felt like being in a museum. Perhaps the attached slides give some feel for the region.
The attached pictures illustrate a village called Puchly which happened to be celebrating some Eastern Orthodox festival. Note the stork's nest high up on post, like countless hundreds we saw elsewhere.
