The harvest of traveling around Warmia in the Łyna and Pasłęka
River basins. It presents the natural riches of this land. Magnificent
heritage buildings dot the wild landscape of this extraordinary
region. Entrancingly artistic photographs, and the accompanying
fragments of Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński's Olsztyn Chronicle,
evoke memories and reflections. In April 1999 it took honors in
the Polish Association of Book Publishers Competition for Most
Beautiful Books of the Year.
"The succeeding images not only give the eyes great satisfaction;
they quicken the memory of the other senses with which the viewer
once took in the tangible landscape of Warmia... None of the pictures
are bordered, thanks to which it is easier to enter them, easier
to sense the broad perspective of the scene, simpler to expand
the frame, by its nature restricted, with the imagination."
Małgorzata Frąckiewicz, Nowe Książki, 7/99
