Tadaam!

The Student in all his glory. The body is quite "contemporary", while the head in the graduation cap is the one of a kuros, a Greek representation of male youth.

The Student Statue

The Student Statue is a new news in Katowice... It is located it in front of the Rector's Office of the Silesian University. The statue had evoked some excitement before it was put on display, as there had been rumours about a scantily clad, well built young man with a graduation cap on...

Come back tomorrow. I'll post the photo of the WHOLE statue ;)

Silesian Scouts Monument

This bronze monument of the Silesian Scouts is in front of the "Silesia" hotel. It is a tribute to all the scouts who fought and died during World War II in defence of Katowice.

And one more...

...but this is the last one, I promise. I'll find other objects to picture. The caption says: "The consumer's life ain't easy!" (The mouse is next to the biggest shopping centre in Katowice)

Found the mouse!
