Here is our couple in 1973. What is that place name? Sieraliov? Sievaliov?
These three photos of this wooden church are not labeled, but the prints are the same size and style as the photos of the couple. That makes me wonder if this church is also in or near "Sieralov."
A Wikipedia search for wooden churches yields Wooden Churches of Southern Lesser Poland. There you see a style quite different, with watchtowers often on the front of the building, and the construction typically with horizontal timbers and with shingles. This one is very simple board-and-batten, with just one little onion-dome on the belfry roof. It looks new.
Anyone have any idea where this is? I studied Google Images of wooden churches of Poland until my eyes crossed, but found nothing exactly like it.
The Slav is at home in the forest!
The Slav is at home in the forest! In Krakow, the statue of Mickiewicz has at the base four additional figures, representing four elements of the basis of Polish culture. There is the farmer, in his field teaching his son; there is the Jewish mother teaching her child the Psalms of David; there are the Romans with their law; and there is the ancient Slav.
With just his furs, his sandals, sword, shield, and winged helmet, he rules the forest.
In good times.
