Bread oven

Today a very unique picture, even in East-Poland; an old bread oven and fresh own backen Polish farmers bread, juist like the farmers did since century's. On the floor is standing churn (a device for making a butter - cream turn into butter)
Bread is a traditional Polish food. After summer harvest in villages all over the country farmers have a special celebration day called "Dozynki", day of the end of harvest. That day, people gather together to sing, dance, thank God and taste the first bread made from "seeds of the summer".
