Poles among poles. A series of pictures taken within rural, man-altered landscapes of Southern Poland, at the distance not exceeding 33km away from my family home, part I. Keywords used in non(yet)written book text describing the project: Pole (field) - it refers to an area of land used for agricultural purposes. Pole elektromagnetyczne (an electromagnetic field) is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects. It affects the behaviour of charged objects in the vicinity of the field. The electromagnetic field extends indefinitely throughout space and describes the electromagnetic interaction. It is one of the four fundamental forces of nature (the others are gravitation, the weak interaction, and the strong interaction). The field can be viewed as the combination of an electric field and a magnetic field. The electric field is produced by stationary charges, and the magnetic field by moving charges (currents); these two are often described as the sources of the field. From a classical perspective, the electromagnetic field can be regarded as a smooth, continuous field, propagated in a wavelike manner; whereas from the perspective of quantum field theory, the field is seen as quantized, being composed of individual particles. Charged particles can move at relativistic speeds nearing field propagation speeds, but, as Einstein showed, this requires enormous field energies, which are not present in our everyday experiences with electricity, magnetism, matter, and time and space (Wikipedia). Pole powierzchni (surface area) is the total area of the faces and curved surface of a solid figure. The surface area is the sum of the areas of its faces (Wikipedia). Pole widzenia (the field of view, also field of vision) is the extent of the observable world that is seen at any given moment (Wikipedia). Polna (“Field”) – a village in Southern Poland situated at the Pogórze Rożnowsko-Ciężkowickie. At the south east of Polna the Zielona Góra (The Green Mountain) can be seen. The village's surroundings have diverse geological structure and the Śląska and Magurska nappes are fold there. Nearby Polna there is a reservoir with 300-years oaks and linden trees. In the forest of Polna, at one of the trails to Maślana Góra (Butter Mountain), the ST John's Spring can be found. It is believed that the water from the spring heals the eyes diseases (Wikipedia). Polna was home to parents of Edmund and Krystyna Ligęza, who are parents of Krzysztof Ligęza. He used to live there as well and when the time comes he would wish to be buried at local cemetery due to its beautiful location (very vast view). His grandparents and uncle, an electrician who was killed by electric shock, already rest there. Polska (Poland) - the source of the name „Poland” and the ethnonyms for the „Poles” include endonyms (the way Polish people refer to themselves and their country) and exonyms (the way other peoples refer to the Poles and their country). The origin of the word „Poland” itself is uncertain but probably derives from word “pole” (field). The early tribal inhabitants denominated it from the nature of the country. Lowlands and low hills predominate throughout the vast region from the Baltic shores to the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains (Wikipedia). Pole semantyczne (semantic field) - a technical term in the discipline of linguistics to describe a set of words grouped by meaning referring to a specific subject. The term is also used in other academic disciplines, such as anthropology, computational semiotics and technical exegesis (Wikipedia).
