B for Russian Banya
A week ago we had The 5th World Festival of Walruses (V Światowy Festiwal Morsowania) in Kolobrzeg. We call 'walruses' the cold water swimmers. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the swimmers, but I have a few pictures of a Russian banya (sauna) and a hot barrel (tub).
During the day...
----------
Tydzień temu w weekend odbył się V Światowy Festiwal Morsowania w Kołobrzegu.. Niestety nie zrobiłam żadnych zdjęć kąpiącym się morsom, ale za to mam zdjęcia ruskiej bani i gorącej beczki.
W ciągu dnia...
and in the evening...

i wieczorem...
I really wanted to take pictures of cold water swimmers during the evening, but unfortunately I was too late :(
----------
Bardzo chciałam zrobić wieczorne zdjęcia morsom, ale niestety spóźniłam się na ich kąpiel :(

Wow, this is really unusual! Even better than seeing the freezing swimmers, I think. Spasibo.
ReplyDeleteYes, it looks so cool, especially in the evening.
DeleteLike Dina said already, very unusual indeed, I don't think we have something like this in The Netherlands.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful choice for the letter B, some education about another culture in another part of the world. Thank you for sharing this!
Have a nice ABC-Wednesday / _ Week

We learn thanks to the ABC Wednesday :)
DeleteWhat lovely photos ~ especially the night shot of this unique tub ~
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Happy Week Ahead ~ ^_^
Thank you, have a good week too.
DeleteA hot tub bath and a sauna in the snow - perfect for those winter nights!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it myself, but I think it's a good idea.
DeleteYou just had to get used to it :)
ReplyDeleteCalling by from ABC Wednesday, not sure I would be brave enough to try the banya
ReplyDeleteBanya is all right, because it's sauna and warmth. The hard part is rubbing snow in your skin. But I believe this is the fun.
DeleteThe Festival of Walruses is for crazy hardy folks!
ReplyDeleteActually, swimming in cold water is good for your immunity. Even cold showers at home makes you healthier.
DeleteGlad you said that, Klara, because I still have not gotten up the courage to this winter to go try our town's indoor swimming pool. I hate cold water. :)
DeleteI don't mind cold water, but 'walrusing' is just too much for me.
ReplyDeletecold water swimming - not gonna happen!
ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW
You'll never know ;)
ReplyDeleteWe have our polar bear swim on New Year's Day in Vancouver but the Festival of Walruses has a romantic feel to it with the Russian Banya and magnificent hot barrel. And, yes, I can just make out the gentleman in the bath. :)
ReplyDeleteSo, you call this brave people polar bears. It's cute name. I like polar bears :)
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures
