The Rawa "river"

… and it stinks!
Katowice has always been a industrial city, famous (or infamous) for its coal mines and steel works. In the past era the issues of natural environment were much disregarded and poor “river” became a sewer. Fortunately, as the times has changed, the city remained industrial but in a more civilized way, and environmental issues are priority nowadays. Things neglected for years cannot be repaired overnight, but this fragment of the Rawa you can see in the photo is one of the last “uncivilized” views of the river. It is now undergoing “a major overhaul” and its waters are being treated, so, hopefully, it may become a small’n’attractive river to stroll along.
