Another Gem of a Song


Another great tune, 'God Walks with Us', from the late John Wetton (with Geoff Downes).

Warsaw: Philharmonic Hall


Been years since I've seen anything at the Philharmonic Hall in Warsaw.


Had to go there to pick up some tickets for some friends who'll be visiting Warsaw later in the year.


Just managed to quickly remind myself of the general ambience of the place:


Could hear Classically-trained musicians practising behind closed gates and doors:

 
The concert schedule for March at Warsaw Philharmonic:


Hope my friends enjoy themselves here later in the year:

Warsaw: Passing the Warsaw Uprising Museum

Eastern Poland: Winter's End


Eastern Poland, hopefully the end of Winter, the beginning of Spring.


Lublin Castle from the Coach Station


Approaching Lublin coach station here with the 'Church on the Hill' being visible above.

The good thing about Lublin coach station is that Lublin Castle is directly opposite it:


Just read that Lublin Castle dates back to the 12th/13th centuries although it has been rebuilt many times over the years.


Went inside Lublin Castle about 20 years ago, there's a stunning old chapel inside with very old frescoes.

Warsaw: Silver Birch Trees


Always get an eerie, haunting kind of atmosphere passing silver birch trees, think they remind me of the 'Blair Witch Project' (a truly terrifying film):


Can remember seeing the 'Blair Witch Project' in the middle of the day at a cinema in Canterbury, Kent, and feeling fully relieved to get back to the full freshness and sunlight of the outside world after the film.
