An old Advance Design Chevrolet pickup used for advertising purposes for this masonary business. Check out the steer horns on the hood.

A closeup of an old Magicube flash cube. These were made for Instamatic cameras and didn’t require batteries to make them flash. This hasn’t been cropped at all, it’s just that with the 2x tele-converter and the +3 close-up lens, it allows me to get this close to a small object. It turned out grainy due to the expired film and I also noticed that this particular combination of lenses makes for a pretty shallow depth-of-field.

This particular Magicube is a Sylvania Blue Dot Magicube - a classic flash cube brand.

Armed Forces Day, known also as the Feast of the Polish Armed Forces (Polish: Święto Wojska Polskiego), is a national holiday celebrated annually on 15 August in Poland, commemorating the anniversary of the 1920 victory over Soviet Russia at the Battle of Warsaw during the Polish–Soviet War.
...
Armed Forces Day is celebrated throughout Poland, with military parades, commemorations for active personnel, veterans, and the dead. As the day coincides with the religious Day of the Assumption, church masses across the country reflect on the memory of Poland's military dead.

The Battle of Warsaw 1920. The Defeat of the Empire of Evil:
The Battle of Warsaw in 1920 was not only a culminating moment of the Polish-Bolshevik war but also one of the decisive events in the history of Europe and the world. The British diplomat Lord Edgar Vincent D’Abernon, an eyewitness to those events, claimed in his book The Eighteenth Decisive Battle of the World that the Poles had saved the Western civilization from the fanatical tyranny of the Soviet. Unfortunately, the European nations are not aware of this historical fact.

I took this shot depicting members of the Representative Honor Guard Regiment of the Polish Armed Forces (and the regimental military band) in August 2015 at Pęcice but I think it fits today celebrations quite well.

These walls are brine graduation towers in Inowrocław, Poland.
The towers are laid out on the plan of two connected polygons. The structure is 9 meters high and 300 meters long. ... Brine is pumped to the highest level of the structure and then flows freely down through blackthorn twigs thus evaporating. The aerosol that forms around the towers is used both for prevention and treatment of diseases of the upper respiratory tract, thyroid gland diseases, or allergic skin disorders. It also reduces arterial blood pressure and has other beneficial effects.
Even on a rainy day there are people there enjoying the place.
