Let’s inaugurate the first (of many more to come) article
comenting pictures I took while travelling on this small blue planet. Our first
destination is Poland during the 2014’s summer. My sweet old camera that
travelled with me in Latin America was broken, so I bought a new one. I didn’t
have much money, so I bought the cheapest one I’ve found. By chance, this new
one has an option the last one didn’t have : we can select a particular
color while shooting. This very simple option brought my picture to another
level and gave more spaces for my creativity. Poland was the first place where
I used this colours option.
The colourful building picture was taken while we made a stop
with the bus during our very long trip from Switzerland to Poland (my legs and
my back could could testify). This is a typical Soviet-influenced tower we can
see in most European countries that have been invaded or at least influenced by
the former USSR. This one caught my attention because of its colours that made
its gray monotony a bit less sad. Plus that was a good excuse to test my new
camera colours option.
Most of those
pictures have been taken in the capital, Warsaw. When I was there, that was
very special days for Polish people : that was the 70th birthday of the insurerrection
against the nazis occupiers that caused the death of several hundreds of
thousands of Polish people killed by the Germans. While I was walking in the
streets of Warsaw, an alarm rang. People suddenly stopped moving and speaking
for some minutes. That was a very moving moment dedicated to the fallen rebels.
The red candles we see
on the pictures had been lit as a tribute for the victims of those dramatic
events.
The picture
with the boat and the one with the spiral staircase have been taken in Frombork,
the city where Copernicus has been buried.
