    Varšuva {Warsaw} - my photos

    Hello Lithuanian friends

    I would like to present some photos that I took recently in my home town Warsaw.

    There are quite a lot of stereotypes about the city - some people associate it with grey commie blocks, some with skyscrapers.

    I would like to show that there is much much more.



    All photos were taken by me very recently (June 2006).

    Warsaw skyline - not the best quality photo, but I like it anyway



    'Ujazdowskie' avenue



    'Ujazdowski' park









    Polish parliament



    'Wiejska' steet ('Village' street)









    pl. Trzech Krzyzy (Three cross square) - very trendy part of the city.











    Ksiazeca street ('Prince' street) - in front You can see Warsaw Stock Exchange



    'Jerozolimskie' avenue (Jerusalem avenue)



    'Foksal' street - another trendy part of the city - full of good clubs









    ------------

    this high blue building is ... student dormitory



    and Marszalkowska street (Marshall street) - very long street - one of main and most know streets in Warsaw, however this part of Marszalkowska street is not that popular.







    and 'Zbawiciela' square





    'Mokotowska' street (one of my favorite in Warsaw - I am working here)











    and office building of my company







    -------------------

    some photos from the city center - if You'll come to Warsaw You will definately see this view. At the first plan ugly commie block - in fact it's a hotel - fortunately there are plans to demolish the building (or to redesign it completely).







    more skyscrapers









    --------------

    pl. Konstytucji (Constitution sqaure) - was build in 50's - very monumental architecture







    view on 'Marszalkowska' street







    view on 'Koszykowa' street



    view on 'Piekna' street ('Beautiful' street)



    ---------------

    around pl. Politechniki ('University of Technology' square)

    Warsaw University of Technology - main building



    'Sniadeckich' street





    'Lwowska' street (Lviv street) - very beautiful street with many buildings that surviewed the war.





























    'Koszykowa' street









    once more 'Constitution' square





    view on southern part of 'Marszalkowska' street



    northen part of 'Marszalkowska' street





    -----------------


    my office





    'Mokotowska' street - another trendy place









    the ugly building to the right will be redeveloped and tured into apartment house



    I just love this building









    view on 'Wilcza' street ("Wolf' street)



    'Mokotowska' - we are heading to Three Cross square







    again pl. Trzech Krzyzy (Three Cross square)







    view on 'Ujazdowskie' avenue





    'Nowy Swiat' street ('New World' street) - one of the most elegant streets in Warsaw - durign the weekends it's turned into pedestrian street.















    'Krakowskie Przedmiescie' street - we are entering an area very popular among tourists.
    Historicaly speaking 'Krakowskie Przedmiescie' was part of a route, which linked Old Warsaw with Krakow.



    it was late evening when I was taking the photos...



    Copernicus monument and in the backgruond Polish Academy of Science





    Saint Cross church



    Warsaw University main gate - my ex University



    more of 'Krakowskie Przedmiescie'





    'Europejski' hotel





    'Bristol' hotel - one of the most luxurious in Warsaw





    and Polish President palace



    You can see the monument of Prince Jozef Poniatowski (one of national Polish heros - was fighting together with Napoleon)



    another palace - now it's Ministry of Culture







    and ... Mickiewicz monument I think I don't have to introduce this guy
    Although he has never been to Warsaw, he has a very nice monument here






    THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I will post more photos soon (of course if You are interested )

            It's arificial.

            It's some kind of artistic instalation - it stands in a center of Warsaw for two - three years now.

            The street is called 'Jerusalem avenue', so the palm symbolizes Jerusalem.
