Nie-miejsce do kwadratu

A non-site squared
Patan's lake is a body of water forming part of the nature reserve 'bog of Mielno' in the vicinity of the town Skępe (Kujawsko-Pomorskie), Central Poland. The lake is in the final stage of overgrowth, what is called bog-springs. As oblivious donor name, the lake functions solely as the name, because a substantial proportion of the population of Skępe is unable to determine its exact location without the aid of maps. As a non-place - known only from the oral stories, overgrown lake from a distance looks like many other similar wavy green meadow. Several people from Skępe even says that the indefinite green square are getting closer to the town.
