Warsaw: Plac Wilsona Metro Station Shot

Never tire of passing through Plac Wilsona metro station as it almost reminds me of a spaceship or space station.

Trentemoller Live at Warsaw Progresja 5th February 2017

Really glad I got to this last night, wasn't in the mood for a concert to be honest, and literally got there a couple of minutes before Trentemoller took the stage.

The band came on with my favourite instrumental tune of theirs, 'November'.

The only shot I got of the keyboard maestro,  Anders Trentemoller, was here as he was briefly venturing away from the keyboards with a tambourine:

If truth be known, a few months ago, I'd never heard of Trentemoller, but when I saw their name on the Progresja concert schedule, I checked them out and immediately liked them (think that Marie Fisker has an incredibly beautiful voice, and have come to really like her solo stuff too).

The concert last night itself, a nice balance fluctuating between the longer (kind of Prog meets Ethereal) instrumental tunes and shorter, melodic, alternative/dance-type tunes.  Yeah, I like it when things are eclectic with plenty of subtle changes of mood.

 

From afar, also found the subtle stage show interesting, live music is an audio-visual thing, after all:

Always like to spend the first half of a gig down near the front, and then retreat further back for a couple of beers.

Warsaw: Academy of Fine Art Building

Had always wondered what this fine building/enclosure was, and recently discovered it was  the Academy of Fine Art.

The Academy of Fine Art is situated on Krakowskie directly opposite the main entrance gate to Warsaw University.

A few weeks ago I'd passed the same building by a side street entrance, and, not knowing what the building was, had taken a picture:

Now find it highly appropriate that this majestic building belongs to the Academy of Fine Art.

Warsaw: Heading towards Arkadia

Quick shot taken while walking from metro Gdanski to Arkadia, seems to represent the individual's search for meaning.

Warsaw: The Corner of a City Centre Building

Don't exactly know why, but the corner of this building, not far from the Lutheran church in Warsaw city centre, caught my eye:

Warsaw: Approaching the Carmelite Church on Krakowskie

Here, from underneath some small arches, I'm approaching the Carmelite church on Krakowskie:

Because I've passed this way so many times, it's easy to forget just how stunningly beautiful the Carmelite church on Krakowskie is:

Warsaw: 'Tomb of the Unknown Soldier' Surrounded by Snow

Here I'm heading towards the 'Tomb of the Unknown Soldier' in a snowy Warsaw city centre.  Have passed this monument many times in spring, autumn, and summer, but this was the first time I'd seen it surrounded (almost enshrouded) by snow.

Shortly after passing the 'Tomb of the Unknown Soldier', as I was making my way down to Krakowskie, I came across some pictures of it from years ago in the window below:
