Hel!
I love your blog title, with a double-pun on a typical Schwarzenegger film quote! Hel seems like a beautiful place, far removed from what you may imagine it to be with this name. I love the seal sanctuary write-up and photos :)

...It's Getting Exciting...
(A Eurovision song from a couple of years ago...!) Well done on your work in clearing the trash from a beautiful area of nature! An interesting read again. Your host sounds wonderful :) Interesting to read about the relations between Poland and Great Britain during World War 2. And I never knew that Joseph Conrad was in fact Polish...! I was actually in Poland at the time of the 2010 air disaster, the country was in shock and mourning during my whole time there. A tragedy indeed... I look forward to reading about "Hel"!

...It's Getting Exciting...
Thank you, it felt nice to do. I agree it was a really tragic event, how did it feel being there when it happened? Do you have a blog from that time? It would be interesting to read your thoughts from that time.

Seal of Hel

Cuteness overload
How gorgeous is this this face? It's hard to believe that something so cute could smell like hell :/ I like the idea of voting for a tree of the year. Hope the seals made you feel better :)

Seal Sanctuary in Hel

Fokarium Hel
Interesting blog Per-Olof. This is an interesting pic too. Is it a comment on the pollution of the seas by plastic and the ingestion of plastic by fish? If so it is poignant indeed.

Hell Yeah!

I have posted this in the rarely used 'Have you been to Hell on Earth' thread in the Photography Forum. What the Hel...close enough!

Northern hemisphere...
It's so weird and wonderful to see the autumn/winter tones of your photos while we swelter in our Australian summer. You seem to meet the nicest people on your travels, and I think that says a lot about you too :)

Picking Garbage in Kępa Redłowska Nature Reserve

Bravo
Three bags of garbage. You have made a much greater contribution to the local environment than you can imagine by collecting the plastic bags and other refuse. Instead of polluting the area for millenia they have been removed.

Dream Hostess
Joanna sounds like the hostess that provides the mostest. How did you find her? Gydnia sounds idyllic. The battleships and the role of one in protecting Cowes in WWII was fascinating. One thing that hit me from your blog was your referral to the 2010 Polish Air Force Tu-154 Crash in which the president of Poland, his wife and several senior members of the various branches of the Polish armed forces were killed. This catastrophe can disappear from our memories unless there are reminders such as yours, so I appreciate that.

Dream Hostess
She really is, I found her through couchsurfing.org, it's my favourite way of travelling and in return I'm hosting people at my place as well. Over New Years eve I will host one guy from Japan and two girls from Poland. I'm happy that you appreciate my dive into both World War II and more modern day history.

Shiraito Falls

That's nice
We are thinking about maybe going to Japan next year. We might go to this place then. /Ake

Shiraito Falls

That's nice
It is, although I'd say the one near Fuji is nicer. ^_^
