In the Theatre of Entertainment

In The Theatre of Entertainment. The photo isn't a new one, but I think it's a propor photo for today, because I'm going to the theatre (the last time in this season).

Yellow Mellow Monday

Well, it was a rose on my windowsill. I'am looking at this photo, and dreaming of a good weather.

Fighters for Freedom and Democracy Avenue

The name of the street on the photo is: "Fighters for Freedom and Democracy Avenue". I don't know when the street was named, but it was in communists times. But the name is still the same, only the words: freedom and democracy changed their meanings. I wish the people of Iran all the best and the change of meaning of freedom and democracy in their country.

Graffiti

I don't like graffiti on walls, but sometimes it looks interesting. I like this 'mouse' -- a popular theme for graffiti drawers in Chorzów, Katowice, or Świętochłowice.

Mellow Yellow Monday: a car or a "services"

Usługi = services.

The church was built in 16th Century in Knurów. Was moved to Chorzów in 1935.

Traveling by train: again

On the photo train from Wrocław to Przemyśl. The photo taken from the railway station in Chorzów Batory.

PS.
No, I'm not traveling today to Przemyśl :)

Watery Wednesday: mallards one more time...

Mallards were on my blog many times, because there are quite popular in Chorzów. But I like this photo, maybe not because of mallards, rather because of sun reflections.

Do You want a crystal skull?

The 3rd Exhibition and Fair of Minerals, Fossils and Jewelry took place in The Hat -- an exhibition hall in The Silesian Park of Culture and Recreation on Saturday and Sunday. The photos are from Sunday's morning -- not all exhibitors comes into the Hat in the morning... I think the Fair was especially interesting for women, because there were mainly jewlery salesmen. But, if somebody was interested in minerals or meteorites, there where also special stands.

Yellow Mellow Monday

Jesus Christ Superstar

Yesterday I attended an open-air performance of "Jesus Christ Superstar", prepared by The Theatre of Entertainment on Fields of Mars in the Silesian Park of Culture and Recreation.

Steelworks Batory Headquaters

The Steelworks Batory Headquaters in Chorzów Batory. (Well, some Poles are surprised by name 'Chorzów Batory'. In fact, it is a part of today's Chorzów, but it was incorporated into Chorzów just in 1939. Formerly, it was independent village Wielkie Hajduki. The new name comes from the steelworks and the worker's settlement. But the name of the steelworks isn't initial. The initial name was Bismarckhütte. Otto von Bismarck was a great politician, but he didn't like Poles (and vice versa) -- so, when Chorzów become a part of Poland (1922) the name of the steelwork was changed into Batory, to commemorate polish king Stefan Batory (1533-1586).)

SkyWatch Friday: car's window

(I think it was Citroen Berlingo :) )

An old lithograph

Today I'am afraid of violating copyrights... It is an old colored lithograph (about 1850) of The King's Steelworks in today's Chorzów. (The lithograph belongs to Museum in Gliwice.)

Fountain in the background

The previous photo of the fountain was posted in april.

Yellow Mellow Monday

Today is Monday! I've had a very active weekend -- I've visited/listened/watched: two (and a half) concerts, two exhibitions, one museum, one abbey, and a performance in theatre. And now it's a time to go to work!

Sculpture & painting

Above -- sculpture located near Chorzów Culture Center (for Ada), below -- the painting by Kazimierz Mikulski, polish painter from Kraków (1918-1998), whose works are presented in Galery MM (in Chorzów). I think almost all Poles knows his works -- maybe not paintings, but the cartoon: "Ferdynand the Magnificent" (about a dog, who was a perfect gentleman). The title of the painting below: "The small bouquet for beloved".

The sculpture near Registry Office

The sculpture near Registry Office in Chorzów (Dąbrowskiego Street).

SkyWatch Friday: children and a fire brigade

It's not the photo from an accident, or catastrophe. It's only a way to amuse children.
