Urban landscape with a fountain

Appologies to all those who visit my blog sometimes expecting some new photos... I've had busy time recently and taking photos was the last thing on my mind... But a few days ago I finally went for a nice photo-hunting walk and now have a few pictures to post.
This one is the fountain in the roundabout; the dome of the Cathedral can be seen quite clearly, though it is rather far from the place from which I was shooting.

Ornaments

Ornamental, mosaic decorations on one of the houses in the very centre, at ul. Miarki - the style quite uncommon for the industrial Katowice. Still, when we look up sometimes we notice such beauties...

The shoes

The sneakers have been where they are for at least a year... When I first saw this curiosity, there was only one pair, later some joker added another to make a better composition. This is in Sienkiewicza street, in the background you can see Altus.

St Mary's Church revisited

The church has already been once in this blog... (you cen see it here)
but look how it changed since!

Spring's in the air...

The trees are still leafless, but spring is in the air...

A rainy day

Railways

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)

Winter morning
