The album's authors grasp at fleeting moments filled with a sense of beauty and inner harmony, whose source is the surrounding landscape. Ryszard Czerwiński's photographic impressions bring out the beauty and richness of Poland's outdoors, and Wisława Szymborska's poetry adds her special reflections and feeling. Both picture and word express the elation of communing with nature. The album inspires thoughts on the need to preserve it for future generations. In April 2004 it took honors at the Polish Association of Book Publishers Competition for Most Beautiful Books of the Year.

"This moment reigns as far as the eye can reach.
One of those earthly moments
invited to linger."

Wisława Szymborska, Chwila
