Leprous, Tides From Nebula, A.A. Williams (Warsaw Progresja 26-11-21)

This was one of those nice evenings at the Progresja when entertained by three really good bands.

First up, really enjoyed A.A. Williams:

Who did a nice six-tune set which seemed to be over in a shot.

Then, it was the turn of Tides From Nebula:

Was also transfixed to this, favourite tune of the set was The New Delta.

And finally, Leprous went back in time to the Bilateral album:

Have seen Leprous a couple of times before when they've done their more recent material, so it was nice to hear them doing older, kind of more obscure tunes live.

Yeah, all in all, a very pleasant evening, a massive thanks to all three bands and the Progresja itself, of course.

Theatre of Drama at Night

 Passing the Theatre of Drama in Warsaw, lit-up at night:

Must say that it looks rather elegant lit-up like this, but a Polish friend of mine told me that this is where all the top communists used to meet up many years ago.

And below, there's a shot of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier lit up in the dark:

A Lit-Up Skyline

 

Was waiting at a tram stop on my way up to the Progresja to see Leprous, Tides From Nebula, and A.A. Williams, when I saw this great skyline of lit-up buildings.

It was a wet and dreary evening, but this lit-up skyline kind of cheered me up, I was really grateful for it, it was a blessing.

A Great Catholic Apologetic Work

 

As I move around the Polish capital, Warsaw, here and there on the metro underground, I'm currently reading Thomas E. Woods Junior's incredibly insightful How The Catholic Church Built Western Civilization.

Through reading this book, I'm encountering all kinds of interesting information concerning such things as how monks from Ireland and Northumbria introduced lower case letters into European languages; how the Benedictines turned swamps into agricultural land, and through relentless technological innovation, paved the way for the Industrial Revolution; how the Catholic Church hierarchy played a major role in setting up the early university system etc.

Of course, it's good to get such a positive view of the Catholic Church's major role in building up Western civilisation when living in an age when history seems to be continually revised by woke (extreme left) ideology.

Old Furniture Repair Place

 

Passed this old-looking, Classical-type, furniture repair place in the Wolska district of Warsaw a few Sundays ago. It was somewhere not far from the St. Faustina compound.

In this age of globalisation, it's good to still be able to come across such shops, as they give character to a place.

Passing the Swiss Embassy

 

A quick shot taken while passing the Swiss Embassy (next to the US embassy) in Warsaw a week or two ago. 

Some kind of major renovation work was taking place so the Swiss Cross flag structure above was erected to clearly indicate where the Embassy is.

Jesus' Polish Wreath

 

Jesus with a red-and-white, Polish wreath, outside the Church of the Holy Cross in central Warsaw.

And not far away, quite a few Polish flags  stood proudly outside St. Alexander's church, near the Three Crosses:

Nice to see national identity fused with religion in one part of Europe.
