teraz polska

It has been now almost a full year and nearly 50 posts since I have started my photo blog, and I have just realized that not a single one was from Poland :-/ Today time for my city! I use the title “teraz polska”, which in direct translation means “now Poland”.

The photo is again from my old russian camera FED-5, to somehow continue with recent series of traditional photography. But today’s one is not in b&w to prove that FED can also capture some nice colors (for any possible faults, I blame only the scanner :-P).

It is a Russian church of Nevski in the corner of Narutowicza and Kilinskiego in Lodz, one of the most interesting buildings in the city, so much different from the surrounding architecture. I managed to capture the red-yellow tram in front of it, also a quite recognizable trademark of Lodz.

yes yes, the bridge again! And probably not for the last time... It's really hard not to repeat Yourself, when it comes down to Rio-Antirio bridge in photo blog about Patra. I believe it's like fourth or fifth one, but at least I’m trying something different every time...

Today, sunset in black&white, from analogue FED-5. Familiar view, but somehow so different.

cars not allowed

When I first came to Patras in 2010, Riga Fereou was under reconstruction to become pedestrians only street, closed for any car traffic. The idea of transforming city centers into traffic-free zones is followed in many European cities and it always works well. For over 2 years now, crowds of people, specially in winter months, can enjoy relaxing “volta”, shopping and coffee, without hundreds of cars around them.

Hopefully, more and more streets will join Riga Fereou to combine to whole network of pedestrian paths in Patra.
