Today's sunset.....

These photos show only fragment of the beauty I've seen today...

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.

dreary "winter" landscape

days are: gloomy, bleak, boring, colorless, depressing,
dismal, drab, dull, lifeless, monotonous, wearisome, windy....

I'm waiting for spring time.

just a view...

After New Year's Eve Party

here's what was left after the party

Winter?

As there is no snow this winter, I'm posting a photo taken on 2nd November last year, when we woke up suprised by the "heavy snowfall" which lasted only two days ;) Actually I'm missing winter.

Katowice by night - part 4

This photo was taken in Katowice Main Square on Christmas Eve. There are very few season decorations in Katowice this year - only in the very centre. And there is no snow... (Well, today there is some, but it cannot be counted for a real winter)

In the mood

Decorations bring a festive mood to Christmas

Skating rink

Though Christmas this year is snowless, there is a place in Katowice, where you can go skating in the opern air! Silesia City Centre provided a free, small skating rink for all skating enthusiasts! Visit and enjoy!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

The new tunnel

The new tunnel which was open just around two weeks ago. Now you can go UNDER the roundabout, which used to cause a lot of traffic jams in this part of town. The photo was taken a few days ago when the weather was really good - cold and crispy but sunny. Today the weather makes me wanna sleep...

A Voyage to Brobdingnag?

What the heck? Where am I? Who am I? Gulliver in Brobdingnag country?!
No, it's the Katowice Ikea Christmas decoration...

Old gramophone

I’ve seen this old gramophone today in a small restaurant, and couldn’t help taking a photo! A very “atmospheric” place, by the way. Come by to COGITATUR, when you are in Katowice. They serve tasty dishes and offer free jazz gigs every Wednesday.

Coffee anyone?

Hallo, everyone! I'm back to photoblogging!
