In another thread we post riddles using our own photos. polandsite.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=riddlesLet`s start this thread based on Net pics and showing culture, customs and traditions in Poland. Tufta, I am sorry, most of them are not for Polish guys like you to guess, because they are too easy. But you can offer your riddles, of course. What is going on?  |

Tufta, I am sorry, most of them are not for Polish guys like you to guess, because they are too easy. I feel very deeply hurt and unfairly treated. I don't now what my reaction may be to the trauma. |

Is it Mara? My grandfather used to use it as a cuss word. I think she was the god of winter. "Its colder than Maras' tits outside" or something like that.

Yes, of course, but sth else, too, much stranger than the seaside. |

All those windbreaks placed together are forming a pattern. Are they part of a much larger thing?
I can also see towels that look like flags?

Ahh, you concentrate on particular items instead of generating a general idea about the custom of using windbreaks in Poland. What is their purpose, really?

As usual I look into things too deeply. What custom does this food represent? Well it appears to be a barbecued sausage.......but no idea about custom. I have no idea about the snow pic either. |

What about that stick? it plays a role here. Not unless it's barbecuing, but I wouldn't call that a custom. Still have no idea about the snow pic. |

Not unless it's barbecuing, but I wouldn't call that a custom. Still have no idea about the snow pic. It is an old custom from the times when portable garden grills were rare or even not invented yet - roasting sausages over campfire. As for snow pics, it is kolęda - Christmas time visits by the local parish priest accompanied by altar boys. hahaha |

roasting sausages over campfire. It's almost barbecuing then  As for snow pics, it is kolęda - Aha! And there was me thinking perhaps they were all about to go sledging or something |

Parking on the pavements? Pretty bad if that's the case, imagine some poor disabled person trying to get past those cars!

Yes, exactly, I meant our old discussions about fences. New members didn`t participate in them so they didnt` know what I meant. |

Why fish in bath? Two answers required - simple and deep. 1 - It is being kept fresh for the (Christmas) meal. 2 - The water symbolizes Baptism. |

This first sentence is enough to give two answers - for Christmas and fresh.
