Polish countryside

On our drive to Zamosc, we got to experience some of the newer roads in the Lublin area.  There as a lot of work on a new four lane highway with some parts of it already finished.  Some of the smaller two lane roads were also newly paved.


At one point we drove past a farm equipment store with large tractors and combines.  I was a bit surprised to see how large they were given how small many of the fields have been.  However, in the region south of Lublin, the farm fields were larger than we have seen elsewhere.  There were some fields filled with beautiful yellow flowers (these have been in full bloom for several weeks and still look lovely).  I think they are mustard seed plants.
