Radio Katowice... since 1927.

One more from the seaside

A sunset at the Baltic sea. Next week I'm back to blogging from Katowice. Take care, everyone!

Greetings from the seaside

The crowdy beach in Łeba on a sunny day.

[edited later] Sure, the beach is CROWDED! ;) LOL
I must have had sunstroke when I was writing that...

Airport views

CentralWings flight has just landed...
(view from the observation deck)

Mine shaft wheel

A hoist wheel from a mine shaft. Just look at it - it's huge!
You can see it in the previous photo in the mine shaft.
This particular one in the photo above is "an industrial decoration"
in front of Silesia City Centre.

Classical view

Just look at this: it's something that once was a classical Silesian view - a mine shaft. Nowadays there are not too many left... the one in the photo isn't working any more, serves as a kind of a landmark... this is in the area of the Katowice Coal Mine.

By the way:

IT WAS THIS BLOG'S 1st BIRTHDAY YESTARDAY !!!!!
(how could I have missed it... I should have thrown a party!)


Happy blogging to you! Happy blogging to you!
Happy blogging, dear kjola - Happy blogging to you!
;)

Just a view from the window...

I like the lighting in this photo.

Before the storm...

On Friday there was a terrible storm here.

At the bus stop

The people are waiting for a bus on this bright and sunny day. It's soooo hot in Katowice...

Old machinery

To keep the "traditional, industrial atmosphere" of the place, the old machinery has been brought on display in front of the Silesia shoping centre. These old machines, once used in mines (or factoris?) have been painted with bright colours (the orange and green shapes in the photo), and nowadays form a huge, intriguing decorations or monuments.... I'll post separate photos of them later this week.

another gloomy day

...

Old Silesia?

The picture looks like an old photo of the Silesian lanscape, in sepia.
You can see a chimney and a coal mine shaft in the horizon...
but it was taken today at sunset.

just a view...

Katowice Main Square

You can always buy flowers in the market square.

In the background, far right you can see a fragment of Spodek.
