Roadworks

One of the Katowice roads being prepared for the new surface - presented with an artistic touch. Photo by my friend Keczer.

Railways again

I told you there will be more railways ;)
And soon I will post some very interesting photos contributed by a visitor so stay tuned.

Don't trust Facts!

The Mouse (Rabbit?) says: "Don't trust Facts!"

BiblioCat

Inspired by the BiblioCat from Selma, Alabama, USA,
here is my learned cat from Katowice, Poland :)

A new graffiti

I've seen these bunny creatures in other places of Katowice too, it must be painted by the same mural artist... His style is quite characteristic. I must take pictures of the other ones as well 'cause I like them a lot.

This "police car" is simply an uncanny advert for a bookstore with cheap, possibly second-hand books.

Just a view from the window...

I like the lighting in this photo.

The Golden Donkey

Warm, bright colours and panoply of oriental patterns – this is the inside of “Złoty Osioł” (The Golden Donkey) veggie restaurant in Katowice. Equally versatile is their menu – each day you’ll find something new, and virtually EVERYTHING I’ve ever eaten there was delicious. And the prices are very very reasonable, so many locals dine there very very often....

The frog fountain

Here is THE FROG! Isn't she nice? (Actually, I'm not aware whether it is he-frog or she-frog... but because the word frog (żaba) is feminine in Polish, I am used to thinking about this statue as SHE: Mrs Frog, of Princess Frog.. whatever you want. I don't remember how long she's been around, but quite a few years, I think. I was a child when they installed this fountain, and I hope it will stay in Stawowa Street for ever!

Coffee anyone?

They offer delicious hot chocolate, exquisite pralines and coffee.
It's in Silesia City centre, next to the fountain.

Tyrannosaurus rex

In the Chorzów zoo they have dinosaurs...
(made of concret ;)

Fire engine

Evey little boy wants to be a firefighter (until he changes his mind, of course ;)
Fortunately, there was no fire when I took the photo, "the boys" had some other, less dangerous business to attend...

Jack Sparrow rulez ;-)

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN

Just for fun I'm posting this poster for the third Jack Sparrow's film. If you like the poster - just follow the link - and you'll find more nice pictures.

Stawberry season....

Strawberry Season has officialy begun in Katowice!

Isn't it weird?

I saw this ingenious interior "decoration" in a restaurant
in the Park a few days ago.
Or... did I drink too much beer? ;)

Pierogi ruskie

Well, it's obvious that the crow thinks her own birds fairest, but I truly believe I haven't eaten better pierogi ruskie than those in the photo, prepared by my mother-in-law. I can even forgive her the skwarki garnish made from fried bacon, which on this particular ocasion were a bit overdone - but still quite tasty.
I'm posting pierogi today inspired by Glen's post from Toruń.

Knock knock...

... who's there?

another gloomy day

...

Misty mist

Today was a misty morning....

Well, I had problems with uploading photos, but today everything's ok again. And, yes, the motocycles do have registration numbers here in Poland, but I took liberty to delete it in the picture... just in case... :)

Recollections from Mazury

Below: mooring in one of many wild retreats in lake Mamry.

Let'go somewhere... Navigare necesse est...

In ports whole families of swans prowl among the boats, no food offer is despised.
