18 June 2010. Volhynian chapel, Tomaszgrod, restored to a creamy tan--just enough umber to make it look dim, set against once-white pilasters and columns. The metal awning, mounted on wrought-iron braces, as flimsy and of today as the fenders of the snow-splashed Vespa parked in front. Reinforced concrete power stanchion, winter sky, two figures to the left in dark clothes and knit caps, alongside another vehicle--bus or truck of some kind...
Here--people in a field. Gypsies, perhaps? Are there still such? Woman with short jacket wrapped around her shoulders, traditional skirt. A Godard film, from 1962, set much too far to the east. More Andrzei Wajda...
At St. Valentine's...
