Passed this wonderful Sacred Heart of Jesus statue in a suburb of Warsaw some time ago:

Warsaw: Archway Murals

While out on a long walk last Sunday, I came across the wonderful murals below inside an archway that led to a block of flats:

The murals on the pillars are amazing. At another archway, I found the following mural:


I also came across a couple of much bigger murals. The one below is on the side of a new business office complex in the Wolska district of Warsaw:

I pass the one below almost every Sunday:


And finally, I came across the mural below on a small wall next to a big, red Gothic church:

Young Goats Eating the Weeds

Sometimes, the next door neighbour's young goats are invited into our back garden in eastern Poland to help get rid of the weeds, of which they do a pretty good job:

Think that the one below can't be much more than a few days old:

We have a big back garden so we appreciate the help that the young goats kindly offer.

Cat Running in the Snow

Nice shot which my wife took of a cat running in the snow in eastern Poland:

Thankfully, the cat seems to have a decent winter coat.

Visiting the Zwierzyniec Brewery Again

Didn't get very far last summer for obvious reasons, but at least I made it to the Zwierzyniec brewery in eastern Poland in late September. My friend from Bury (Lancashire), Perry, did well to get over and really enjoyed the Zwierzyniec beer:

The image that always sticks in my head from the Zwierzyniec brewery is the crucifix on the main building wall:

In general, the Zwierzyniec brewery outside bar is a pleasant setting to have a few, nice refreshing beers:

When we were there, it was the last week of the summer season, and quite a few cyclists were stopping off at the brewery bar to quench their thirst.

Sledging in the Snow

 Really like this scene where parents are encouraging their children to go sledging in the snow:

Thankfully, the arrival of the snow has provided some relief from the monotony of living almost entirely indoors under the current Covid-19 restrictions.

Welcome Snow


 The welcoming snow in Warsaw, it just brightens the landscape up a bit.
