Field notes : Lozorno, Slovakia

My new friend Dea (check out her wares & creations here) & I went shooting last weekend: 

Lozorno: a small village in the Zahorie region, opposite Zitny ostrov, 20 minutes from Bratislava.

Bio Farm with pig, feeding of boar, wooden statues

Pond, emptied in fall which reveals felled trees covered with barnacles (clams?)

Weekend cottages around 2nd pond, Fishermen

Some homes quite palatial = corn drying palace

Walked around two ponds - through forest, forded a small stream, sank in the mud, found a wild stallion

Walked though the village to a cattle farm - hill of tires, strange lumps of string/rope

Used the bathroom in some kind of workers bunker - Very warm with a strange smell, communist

Visited the woodshop of a man who played us Russian folk songs on his casio keyboard

Then to the garden of Dea's parents - artists - struedel, compote, cabbage potato pancakes (a specialty of this region)
Feral cats, a biting dog that they rescued - art
Showed them AZ on a map

Attic full of paintings, prints, sausages

My muddy shoes
