A couple of week ago, it was 26 degrees Celsius in Warsaw so we sought the shade of
Powązki Cemetery:Shortly after entering, we were greeted with some incredible sculpture work on the graves:Everywhere you looked, there was something interesting to see, so my camera went into overdrive.Trying to capture the Catholic atmosphere of the place:Initially focusing on the statues of Christ:Then, the many statues of angels:There were literally angels everywhere you looked:Plus statues of Our Lady:And house-like tombs of the dead:And in the leafy monumental shade, we heard the sound of a violin being skilfully played, I could recognise the Classical music but not name it.
After a well-spent hour, it was time to leave, to re-enter the sunlight.
Powązki Cemetery dates back to the late 18th century and is well worth a visit, providing some kind of relief from a too hectic, modern world.
