Every year I have the privilege to go to Poland with my class of nature photographers at Lofoten folkehøgskole.
The second week of this years trip we went to eastern Poalnd and the great National Parks of Bialowieza and Biebrza.
The Bialowieza forest is probably the most intact primeval forest ecosystem in Europe, and it is famous for the population of European Bison.
Biebrza National Park is a river valley with huge areas of wetland and natural fields, and it is a paradise for wetland birds!
