Self Portraits "Song of the Mavka" πΏ Part 4
Added 2025-11-13 17:00:05 +0000 UTCAnd hereβs one of those strange forest structures I told you about))
Itβs clearly been there for a very long time, you can tell by all the moss and its weathered look.
But honestly⦠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 didnβt look very stable π 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 πΏβ¨

Thank you, Jeff! Iβm so glad you liked the location and the lighting, that forest has such a unique mood π€ thatβs incredibly sweet of you. It really means a lot to me ππ₯Ήπβ¨

2025-11-15 10:34:25 +0000 UTCThank you, Klaus! Your comments are always such a pleasure to read, you notice every little detail β¨ Itβs really fascinating to hear that youβve 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 thatβs what makes them even more magical πΏβ¨ 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 β¨π«π±π€«

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!
