Warsaw: My Pre-Sundown Stroll


Some shots from my pre-sundown stroll in Warsaw yesterday, starting with some wall art from Al. Jan Paweł II (above).

Then, on this beautiful late spring afternoon, I encountered the cranes and building work near Inflancka:


Trying to make things look a bit different through messing about with the colouring on the computer below:


Of course, there are also the tall glass buildings near Inflancka:



And then strolling down towards Gdanski for the underground, I came across this, for me, gothic-looking scene:


Recently, there had been thick bushes surrounding the tree above, but the city council workers have ravaged this, as last year, a few homeless men were living/sleeping in the bushes during summer and autumn.

And then there was this mysterious, almost-alien looking scene during my descent towards Gdanski metro station:


And finally, there were some bus stop posters trying to humanise/sanitise the image of the 'canaries' (bus pass/ticket inspectors) who fly round the Warsaw public transport system:


In fairness, the 'canaries' are now a lot less rough/more civilised-looking than they were a few years ago:


Yeah, it's amazing what you can extract from everyday scenes if you walk round in a bit of a hazy dream world.
