Juraj Jánošík was a famous Slovak outlaw, often described as the "Slovak Robin Hood."

This Slovak equivalent of Robin Hood or William Tell has been topic of many Slovak and Polish legends, books and films. According to the legends he stole from nobles and gave the stolen items to the poor. The Janosik myth was also known in neighboring Silesia, the Margraviate of Moravia and later spread to the Kingdom of Bohemia. The actual robber had little to do with the modern legend, which content partly reflects the ubiquitous folk myths of a hero taking from the rich and giving to the poor. However, the legend was also shaped in important ways by the activists and writers in the 19th century when Jánošík became the key highwayman character in stories that spread in the Slovak counties and among the local Gorals and Polish tourists in the Podhale region north of the Tatras. The image of Jánošík as a symbol of resistance to oppression was reinforced when poems about him became part of the Slovak and Czech middle and high school literature curriculum, and then again with the numerous films that propagated his modern legend in the 20th century. During the anti-Nazi Slovak National Uprising, one of the partisan groups bore his name.
This is his monument in Terchova.

Z tą sprawiedliwością nigdy nie wiadomo jak jest... Ważne jest jednak to, że co pewien czas, to tu, to tam rodzi się jakiś Janosik zmuszający do opamiętania tych, którzy "przebrali miarę". Proste, mocne i bardzo na czasie!
Pozdrawiam bardzo serdecznie,
Jurek

Excellente réalisation.
Amitiés.

Dobre, bardzo dobre.
Podoba mi sie kompozycja, a obrobka graficzna, palce lizac.
Robi duze wrazenie, zwlaszcza ze ziarno na niebie powoduje, ze figura oddcina sie niesamowicie od tla.
Pozdrowka. Grazyna.

Bonjour Jan
Belle composition bien cadrée, tout ŕ fait originale. Bon choix du noir et blanc qui donne beaucoup d'allure ŕ l'image.
Merci pour le partage et bonne soirée.

Czesc,
proste i tresciwe, przypomnienie o slawetnym zbojniku, ulubione ziarno tez tu jest. Nie wiedzialem, ze za miedza stawiaja mu pomniki. Troche cialbym z gory, zdjecie nic by nie stracilo na tresci.
Pozdr. Al.

Hello Jan
Very clever use of the statue & the diagonal of the wall. The contrast between the statue & the man, facing their backs to each other, the grains, work very well. Excellent shot!

Witaj Jan.

The black and white, the noise and the composition create a very good atmosphere. Also we can read a very good note with the photo.

Well done.
