I’ve never thought myself of choosing kayak facing a choice between canoeing and deckchair. Moreover – my children neither. And we all shall be delighted. It was one of these September Saturdays when Poles woke up in the morning and didn’t believe in what they saw outside. Cloudless sky, sun, although happened to be higher,...
Secret life of Suwalszczyzna
Does Suwalszczyzna really exist? I have some doubts. It’s impossible that there exists such a beautiful phenomenon so empty at the same time. But, despite of my vague premonitions, Suwalszczyzna exists. Yes, there is a place on the map of Poland, where countless lakes are surrounded by hills, where even in the middle of...
CRACOW WITH CHILDREN; WATCH, OBSERVE, FEEL
What is the symbol of Cracow? Rather not lajkonik. I think that electric trolleys. Or blue tram. Or toast at Kazimierz. Here you may find my reflections, deep as Marianas Trench, regarding my last trip to Cracow. Trip I owe to my admiration to concerts performed during the Film Music Festival. But – let’s...
Small monuments, small benches, small trunks and flying pianos.
During the past winter holiday I paid a visit to Darłowo – off season a little bit sleepy and stripped of the plastic summer glitter. But – vibrating with its own, personal and almost tourists – free life. On the square I met Stanisław Dulewicz monument, first mayor of a town after the WWII....

Merchant Houses in Poznań
Merchant houses in Poznań is one of the tourist attractions. Narrow, not high, colorful – they do not have majesty and splendor of big city mansions. In spite thereof they steal the hearts of tourists who take pictures of them with passion. Due to the fact, that I didn’t take a picture of them...
Bródno Sculpture Park in Warsaw
There is a park in Warsaw where fountains are not of a shape of a chubby angel but of a shape of a woman gushing water out of a breast. Where, in summer, pensioners and parents with children look for shade under giant letters or in a meeting place of inhabitants of African village....
Illustrated map of Płock
Płock is the best example that one does not have to be a metropolis to offer to tourists what they like the most – beautiful architecture and breathtaking nature. That’s why I started to prepare and here you are – my next illustrated map. Creating an illustrated map is for me still a uneven...
Powązki Cemetery. The most cultural cemetery in Warsaw
Walking down Powązki Cemetery is like reading encyclopaedia of Polish history and culture. In the autumn when, like it or not, thoughts about passing arrive, such a reading is exceptionally intense. And beautiful because Old Powązki Cemetary is a beautiful and historical place. 20th May 1792 is considered as a date of founding the...
LIGHT MOVE FESTIVAL IN ŁÓDŹ. ARCHITECTURE DANCES AND SINGS.
Kinetic Art Festival (Light Move Festival) in Łódź is an event I took part in for the first time last year. Although for a long time I’ve remembered enormous crowd at the streets and other people’s elbows in my ribs I decided to take part in this year edition. Because I like watching tenements...
