Tropiki (fr. tropique) in Polish means not only a tropical bush and region of the Earth near the Equator (Tropics) but also canvas covers of old-fashioned tents. Such tents continue to be used for children’s holidays in socialist countries, but they also have connotations of the ethos of pioneer era scientists expeditions. The photo was made in autumn 2010 in especially prepared place in my parents' garden.
