Playing children

When I posted this playground in February, Jarart asked me: No children playing this day? So, today with playing children :)

Dido and Aeneas

Yesterday, I was in Chorzów Culture Center to see (and hear) performance of Henry Purcells' "Dido and Aeneas". The opera was performed by young people from Upper Silesia, I think, half of them were amteurs. But Dido's "When I am laid in earth" moves me everytime. Above: Aleksandra Hruby as Dido, and Jarosław Kitala as Aeneas. Below: Aleksandra Hruby (Dido) and Joanna Wojnowska as Belinda (in "When I am laid in earth").

Mallards

Today I met many mallards, but almost all of them (about 12 of 14) were males...

Karolinka and Karliczek

The sculpture (in the Silesian Culture and Recreation Park) represents two lovers from the folk song "Karolinka" (or, for many people "Poszła Karolinka do Gogolina" -- "Caroline went to Gogolin"). Lovers names are: Karolinka (diminutive from Karolina (Caroline)) and Karliczek (diminutive from Karol (Charles)).
