This reminds me of a man I once met in our local zoo. The guy was with a son and the boy was watching gibbon family with great interest. It was summer so gibbons stayed on the island connected to their house with a bridge of ropes. But the father was bored or hungry and didn’t want to let him stay longer.
“Son,” he said, “I didn’t come here to watch apes!”

STROMIEC
Stromiec is a peak in the Kaczawskie Mountains. It is built of Upper Cretaceous marls, limestones and sandstones, which make at its summit a 200 m long rock wall with a few caves inside. These sediments are part of the geological unit known as the Wleń Graben. The mountain is covered with spruce and beech forests. Stromiec is visible from a distance thanks to the characteristic cone-like silhouette, and it’s easy to mistake it for Ostrzyca Proboszczowicka although Stromiec unlike the former it is not an extinct volcano.
Porwaki koło Wlenia nature reserve. Pogórze Izerskie. Cretaceous sandstone xenoliths in a former tertiary volcanic chimney, crystallized into the columnar joint. Basically it’s a sandstone of a basalt-like appearance. Some of the xenoliths retained their former structure.
Jaskinia Walońska - a cave made in Wojcieszów limestones. Maślak mountain. Góry Kaczawskie. It’s only several meters long. I haven’t been inside. All the photos were made around the entrance.
