Great photos, Urbanista! Do you photoshop?

Urbanista1 · June 1st, 2011, 06:23 AM

Yes, I do photoshop. Most pics here are mine, but I can't take credit entirely for some of the best ones - I get a little help from friends

I should have more of my pics shortly.

Reminds me very much of Prague! I simply love the old cities and towns in that part of Europe (Saxony, southern Poland and Czech Republic). In my oppinion, they're the most beautiful in Europe.

Urbanista1 · June 2nd, 2011, 10:27 PM

I agree Tiaren, for that picturesque kind of beauty, nothing beats central Europe. Ofcourse there are other kinds of beauty that are just as interesting but mittel Europe does it best in this regard

What a gorgeous place!
Were Polish cities spared during WWII?

Urbanista1 · June 11th, 2011, 06:22 AM

Unfortunately only Krakow escaped serious damage. Cities like Torun, Jelenia Gora and the Renaissance gem Zamosc, Kazimierz Dolny, Sandomierz, Tarnow and Rzeszow were largely spared and mostly not beyond reconstruction. Poznan and Wroclaw were 50% destroyed, while Gdansk and Warsaw 75% and 95% respectively. Warsaw was literally levelled during WWII and 800,000 of its pre-war 1.3 million were killed.

Here are two interesting threads that show the extent of Warsaw Destruction and its Reconstruction:
