Self Portraits "Song of the Mavka" ๐ฟ Part 4
Added 2025-11-13 17:00:05 +0000 UTCAnd hereโs one of those strange forest structures I told you about))
Itโs clearly been there for a very long time, you can tell by all the moss and its weathered look.
But honestlyโฆ seeing something like this right in the middle of the forest felt so atmospheric!
I really wanted to create something unusual with it, but I was honestly a bit afraid to even touch it, it didnโt look very stable ๐ Still, it made a perfect, almost magical background.
It felt like something straight out of an old fairy tale- maybe about a forest witch or some kind of ancient woodland spirit ๐ฟโจ

2025-11-15 10:34:25 +0000 UTCThank you, Klaus! Your comments are always such a pleasure to read, you notice every little detail โจ Itโs really fascinating to hear that youโve also seen these mysterious forest structures in different parts of Poland. We also tried to find some explanation, but so far it remains a complete mystery for us too. Maybe thatโs what makes them even more magical ๐ฟโจ Most likely yes, probably traces of scout activities or forest lessons. But I personally prefer to think of them as little shelters for the forest spirits โจ๐ซ๐ฑ๐คซ

2025-11-14 07:03:18 +0000 UTCVery lovely part 4 of the Mavka-series. With the whole setting (light and everything) you scored a bullseye. These forest-structures are intriguing indeed. We encountered them in various parts mostly in northeastern Poland (less so in Pomerania) when we went for mushrooms. We thought they might have been a leftover from scout's activities, but so far we've not been able to have that confirmed. As yet it remains a mystery. We keep searching for the solution to this riddle. My personal favourites from part 4 are definitely #6 and #21. In my view they convey something of inner peace and being at one with nature. Great!
