Titled "Their Eyes were Opened", from Luke 24:30,31

  3. The Russian's images are very reminiscent of some of the Ukrainian village video scenes you have been linking to.

  4. During Barchenkov's lifetime, the only wild bison (wisent) remaining in all of Europe were in Poland's Białowieża Forest where they are known as żubr.

    The very best Polish vodka, Żubrówka, is named after them. Flavored with a blade of bison grass (Hierochloe odorata) in every bottle. It got banned by FDA in the 1970's for causing heart failure. All my friends in Wyandotte were devastated.
