Red rose (on my table).
"Chorzów's Encyclopaedia".
Two very different interpretations of the red theme. I can see why you posted both instead of choosing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rose! And the encyclopedia would be a great way to learn more about Chorzow. Is it in English? :)
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm afraid it is in Polish :(
ReplyDeleteA beautiful red rose, so perfect. The second (photo) compliments the first.
ReplyDeleteCheers.

I like your choice for theme day red. I would also like to thank you for your comment on my birds blog.
ReplyDeleteI chose a picture I took 55 years ago of my Patty wearing a red dress. On April Fool's Day, April 1, 1955.
I gave her a diamond engagement ring, and today, April 1, 2010 is my entry for theme day on my Brookville Daily Photo blog.
