Very nice little tour -- thanks.
What's with all the old gaffers on crutches in Bytom? Or is it all-the-rage and a fashion statement?

Moze ktos wie: czy te rzezby na rynku w Krakowie to stala czy tymczasowa instalacja. Podobaja mi sie jako-tako, ale troche za bardzo i bez nawiazania z historia Krakowa (dla mnie) wplywaja na charakter miejsca. I jak sie nazywa artysta?

Sorry about the slight OT, Tom Green, but I got kind of interested about the fate of the sculptures, which you photographed in the Rynek.

Wlasnie Mitoraj. Igor Mtoraj, ktory ma jednak powiazania z Krakowem bo byl studentem Tadeusza Kantora i pierwsza wystawe swoich prac mial w Krystoforach. Wiec dobrze, ze jego praca jest nie tylko na dziedzincu British Museum i temu podobnych peryferiach ale i w Krakowie, ale rownierz dobrze, ze przenosza go z rynku na inna lokacje w Krakowie. Rynek krakowski jest jednym z primo lokacji miejskich na swiecie, i nie trzeba tu nic tak dominujacego dodawac.

I was busy during the last days. Sorry for waiting.
Now i have time again. I need around 1 hour to select, resize, photoshop, upload and post 20 pics.

This is my last full day in Poland.
I met jacek_t83 in Bytom and sky`s the limit in Katowice.
The meeting was interesting, i leaned a lot and i had fun.
I have big respect for the 2 guys. They not only love their city they also proove their love. I will explain this later ;)

I will begin with an overview of Katowice.
Thanks to them i was abel to go to the top of the 83m tall Biurowiec DOKP.

Now something about the meeting.
From left to the right:
sky`s the limit, Tom_Green and jacek_t83


During the meeting i learned alot about the work they do for the city. There current project is the cleaning of an old jewish cementary. They showed me the cementary. I am very thankful because this place is unique and very impressive. I will never forget it.


I really respect what they do. Many people talk only about how they love there city. But if they had do something for there hometown they refuse. Sky`s the limit and jacek_t83 are different. They using there free time and work for free to make the place they love better :applause:


I am sorry that my English is not very good. It`s difficult to describe what i think and how impressed i am.



I hope you enjoyed my thread.

Poland is indeed one fantastic country.
Beautiful pictures!
Why didn't you visit Auschwitz, that's so nearby.

I really like ur pics Tom_Green. I was in Cracow /Kraków/, actually i came back home yesterday. I wonder if you think Poland is Ok, or rather ugly country. I know that all say that Poland has beautiful places with beautiful and wonderful people, especially women are beautiful, they say ;), but our country is awful and ugly, in second part, you haven't seen yet. But i wannna hear your opinion ;)

Poland is nice. I like the people and the cities. Bytom is one of the poorest cities in Poland but i still like the city.

I was again in Poland at the beginning of June.
I will start with the Bytom and surrounding daytime pics.

I start with the good weather pics because the first impression is important. :)

Well - I just wachted your pictures once again as I forgot I participated in this thread :D And again, I have to say the are wonderful. Especcialy those of modern and communsit Katowice and those made in a little bit artistic way.

I think it would be better to write number after each picture. It's easier to quote them to say how wonderful particular picture is :)

I love your last pictures form Bytom, the building on the 1st picture is amazing!



And I have a qs. - Why don't you visit other polish cities? Warsaw is wonderful. For sure you'll like Poznań, Szczecin, maybe even Piła :D :cheers: :lol:. There are so many places to visit in Poland.
