Guys I Just Discovered Poland.


This showed up when I Googled 'Poland scenery'

 My love for Europe has been expanding over the years, and I've begun to wonder why I know so little about Eastern Europe, or countries to the East of Italy and Germany. I Googled 'Poland scenery'. I know very little about Poland - mostly history from the World Wars. But I was struck with an impression I will not soon forget.

These are just some of many gorgeous photos that showed up.

Poland had Ireland's rolling hills - only they're mountains. It has the castles, rivers, and grottos of Italy and Germany, the alpine and aspen slopes and the sky-high lakes of Colorado's Rockies. It has a very unique and cute style in its buildings, compact and stacked like pancakes, with rows of square windows that almost remind one of England. Their traditional dress and culture looks like a beautiful, vibrant swirl of German and Russian.

I could spend hours exploring pictures of Poland.


How did I not know about all the beauty that lies in Poland? How has it remained so wrapped in obscurity and mystery, beyond the reach of my self-centered, closed-up American mind? I love learning more about the world around me. Poland is a country I must look into; I must explore it, learn more about it, unwrap its beauties, and fall in love with it.

Just Google Poland already, willya?
