Slideshows and movies about wildlife of Poland

Traveling abroad has always been in fashion in my country, at least from times which I can reach in memory, and nothing indicates that it is going to pass soon. However, for last few years I have been watching people outdoing themselves in inventing more and more exotic and extreme destinations where they would like to get necessarily. It refers both to “professional” travelers and ordinary tourists who probably think that the further they go the more beautiful places they will see and the more interesting memories they will bring back. Undoubtedly there is something in it but in the same time old Polish proverb still remains actual: “foreign you glorify but your own you do not know”. In some way it is similar to other proverb “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence”. There is a lot of unique places in Poland which should not be only visited but also well known. This is why I decided to act against actual fashion and have prepared several slideshows about my travels between the Tatra Mountains and the Baltic Sea. I have started with the Biebrza River Valley, the Bialowieza Primeval Forest, the Pieniny Mountains, the Bieszczady Mountains, the Giant Mountains and the Table Mountains. Next slideshows will be about the Wolin Island, the Masurian Lakes and the Tuchola Forest. Each lecture lasts for ninety minutes and consists of 90-100 slides (450-500 pictures) with a short movie in Full HD quality. Of course the leitmotiv of these slideshows is wildlife of Polish national parks but there are also images and curiosities about local architecture, own lifestyle and culture of native inhabitants, regional cuisine and local touristic attractions. Basing on my own experience I share detailed information necessary for each tourist for safe and enjoyable visiting presented places.
