Today I went to Batumi Park. In the park there is a zoo, a lake with pedal boats in swan shape, and a dolphinariam. After walking around the lake, and through the zoo, taking photos, I attended a performance by the dolphins at the dolphinariam. Quite talented those dolphins. The “trainer” told us that you don’t actually train dolphins. You find out what they enjoy doing and then encourage them to do it at the time you want. He said that everything that was in their act, was things that they enjoy doing. They often come up with new stunts to add to their act all on their own.
1. The colonnades are located at the entrance to the park.
2. A statue if Amelia Earhart is located between the colonnades. She holds a replica of her plane in one hand.
3. A statue to a Batumi war hero is next. I can’t read Georgian so I can’t tell you more.
4. By this time I was tired so I bought a soft pretzel and a cup of coffee americano.
5. 6. 7. 8. 9. I took many photos of the hotel and high rise apartments that surround the lake.
10. The beach is covered with smooth stones. They cleverly used them to construct this fence.
The Polish army yesterday protected the president against the government's attempt to isolate him! Incredible information from Poland about the plan of the Polish pro-German and pro-Brussels government of Tusk, which was planning to isolate the Polish president to prevent him from arriving in Warsaw!
Stanisław Janecki did not present this information as a speaker at a protest in front of the Constitutional Court, but expressed it in a television broadcast (on the wPolsce24 station) and in articles on affiliated portals (wPolityce.pl).
Janecki stated that when the presidential special with President Karol Nawrocki was returning from the canceled trip to Senegal back to Poland, according to his information, there existed a plan or consideration on the part of government structures to deny the aircraft landing at the military airport in the Warsaw-Okęcie district and divert it to another airport (to Wrocław or Kraków). The goal was to cut the president off from events in Warsaw at the ...
🇵🇱 A very disturbing claim has emerged during a broadcast on Polish television channel Polsat.
Apparently, there were plans to deny President Karol Nawrocki's plane permission to land at a military airport in Warsaw.
However, according to those who revealed the information, the military rebelled and refused to obey orders from above.
If true, that's a level of interference that ticks every major box of being unlawful and undemocratic, and it cannot go unpunished.

The story behind a photograph that breaks the heart. Many are familiar with this image; it is frequently published around June 22nd—the date the war began—and sometimes around Victory Day. It captures Tatyana Onishchenko and her young daughter, who was mortally wounded during a Nazi bombing raid.
The scene is the Moscow region, autumn 1941. The photograph was taken by Ivan Nartsissov, a war correspondent from Lipetsk—a brave, talented, and modest man who left behind an extensive archive of wartime photographs and reports.
For a long time, this was all that was known about the image. Recently, however, further details have come to light. In the summer of 1941, Tatyana received devastating news: her husband had gone missing in action. A period of agonizing uncertainty followed. Every morning, she would go out to meet the postman—and every morning, he would walk right past her. Reports from the front grew increasingly grim, yet Tatyana held onto her faith. And, eventually, ...
