Frost and snow again :(

Ech... zima.

A neighbour told me that when the crows are here, it's a sure sign of heavy snowfalls... we'll wait and see. I liked winter better when I was a child. Now, somehow, I can't apprciate it.

Water Tower in Katowice-Giszowiec

The water tower is located in Giszowiec, a district of Katowice. It was built at the beginning of the 20th century in the highest point of the area, and is definitely an architectural gem. It fell into disuse many years ago. In the 90s, a telecommunication company placed an antenna at the top of it, and restored its beauty. (based on wikipedia.pl entry)

I was wandering close to the Cathedral today, and this fragment caught my eye...

Airship bis

I know that I already posted it just two days ago, but today, the allegro.pl airship was kind enough to fly directly over my house, and I just couldn't skip such an photo op. ;)

BiblioCat

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

Autumn leaves

Airship over Katowice

I saw it yesterday, soaring over Katowice.... if you look closely at the blowup photo, you'll see that the airship is an advertisement for the allegro.pl portal, which in Poland is something like e-bay.

Maluch

Polish Fiat 126p. Back than Poland used to be swarmed with them :)
Nowadays they are pretty rare in the streets.
