Paulownia

I've seen a plant with unusually large leaves. AI suggested it was a Paulownia—a tree that grows five meters in a year and produces wood that dries in four days. The Paulownia breaks more rules at once than any other species in this series.

Buildings

Beyond the untamed patch of overgrown weeds and wild grass, the sharp, clean lines of a new development rise against the horizon. The contrast is striking: a vibrant tangle of neglected nature in the foreground, yielding abruptly to pristine concrete, glass, and steel. These modern structures stand as symbols of sudden expansion by private business, casting long shadows over the uncultivated earth that awaits cash flow from local authorities.

Rain

A store

Stores` shelves are not empty but prices did rise.

Students

Students enjoy a short break from classes, relaxing with friends, sharing laughs, and enjoying some free time before returning to their studies. There is a medical college behind a corner.

Church of St. John Nepomucene (Костел Яна Непомука)

A Catholic parish has existed in Dubno since 1612. Services were held in a wooden church until 1811. After a fire, a stone structure was built on the site of the wooden one, the church operated there until 1945, when the building was confiscated from the local Catholic community and subsequently converted into a sports school in 1959. Showers and toilets were installed in the sacristy. The organ and interior furnishings were removed in the 1960s, and seven ornate church altars were irretrievably destroyed by the communist authorities. The Catholic parish reclaimed the dilapidated church in 1993 and began restoration work, which continues to this day. A statue of Christ stands on the building's façade. A modern organ, manufactured by the German firm Josef Weimbs Orgelbau, was donated to the church by Catholics from Germany. Its installation began in November 2023, and the first solemn liturgy accompanied by the organ took place in the spring of 2024 during the parish's patronal feast day.
