'Unpublished Portraits' - Patrycja, Lausanne, 2007

In the series 'Unpublished Portraits', little by little, I'll be presenting people that I know very well or I have met in the past and who I have kept in my memory.


Patrycja loves dancing. She is a dance student. Although she is relatively young she already gives dance classes.

Ostatnio, grzebiąc w starych dokumentach odnalazłem stary autoportret Janka. Przywoła on chyba arcymiłe wspomnienia wszystkim miłośnikom tej "barwnej i zacnej postaci".

In the land of tunnels, Mauvoisin (CH), 3 August 2008

The way to the Mauvoisin Lake (1975 m) goes through my favorite tunnel in Switzerland. The lake is formed in the Val de Bagnes by a dam with height of 250m . The Mauvoisin arch dam was built in six years in fifties. The area offers a hike trail which goes around the lake. Starting the walk from either side, one passes though a couple of drilled tunnels ...


On the crown of the dam, we found a photographic exhibition presenting the dam under construction.




When we were already satisfied with a dose of history of the dam, we started a lazy walk along the lake ...
