the Warsaw ghetto

Warsaw is a large city and I was not very interested in the surroundings since very little seems to be of historical interest except for the remnants of the Jewish ghetto. There is a museum there and this is from the museum.

Short Warsaw Visit

I was surprised by Warsaw, such a huge and impressive city. But it wasn’t the quaint place I imagined so I saw what I found interesting and moved on to Krakow.

The Palace of Culture and Science. What I like about this photo is it is almost as if the green building was highlighted in a black and white photo. The contrast is interesting.
