Ponidzie is located within the Małopolska Upland which covers an area of 25,000 square kilometres from Polish Jura to the Vistula River. This fertile and beautiful region is particularly noted for its butterflies and moths.
Ponidzie is a region in Świętokrzyskie Province in southern Poland. It is composed of Miocene hills, largely gypsum, and lowland plains. Its landscape and biological interest are protected in three parks, Nadnidziański, Szaniecki and Kozubowski, and a number of nature reserves which feature meadows, peat bogs, fish ponds and relict steppe vegetation.
Ponidzie is an agricultural region with traditions dating back thousands of years and prehistoric finds here include burial sites from 4500 BC. Ponidzie is considered to have had its golden period in the Middle Ages when imposing castles were built and important royal dynasties ruled from the region.
Quinault Rainforest, Olympic National Forest, Washington
The mild winters and prodigious annual rainfall on the Pacific coast side of the Olympic Peninsula have produced several temperate rainforests. We are in the Quinault Valley, carved by glaciers and now filled with a lake and a riot of forest greenery. In this scene from the Quinault rainforest, the trunk of a large spruce is surrounded by moss-covered maple trees in their early spring leaves.
