Ostre Bardo II

The second part of my trip on this quiet Sunday morning. After my first visit I took another small road west of Ostre Bardo. That road was horrible for the car! I stopped near the border close to borderpoles 2258. On the Polish side fields and meadows with storcks and kraanvogels. Really nice area!

From 2258 where I parked the car I had to take a detour to reach the borderpoles. It was not easy to take a picture of them, there were some bushes standing in the way.

Now in close-up where you can read the numbers.
After these pictures back to 2258.

Back to the ending road. The usual bareer and the usual warning sign. I didn't see a fence here on the Russian side.

A closer look at the sandpit and the borderpoles 2258. The usual image.
III-1 20140407 Wooden bridges on Russian side
Between the borderpoles 2258 and 2259 I saw these little wooden bridges on the Russian side. They didn't look well maintained but I think the Russian border guards have to use them during their border inspection tours.

A peaceful landscape: the green fields. In the middle the borderpoles 2258 and at the right of it, my car.
Hardly to believe that here is the border between Russia and the EU.

The last poles here. To respect the 15 meter zone, I had to take this picture from behind some reed.
Through the gap in the bushes you can see again some Russian fences.
From here I walked back to the car and weent further westward. Between here and the little village Szczurkowo the road comes very close to the border.
