Warsaw bits, Polska.

What better to do on a beautiful day than to walk along the newly completed boulevards with Father and the wife. It was so warm that later in the day I may have even eaten an ice cream! Crazy times.

The sapper memorial for the people that cleared Warsaw after the Nazis left and left boobytraps, bombs and unexploded


Bright bridge
Yes please!

Might need some undercoating protection


I truly love trees.

Copernicus Museum dedicated to teaching science.

The Modern Art Museum is here temporarily... like... forever probably.

Wild animals of the coast



Old Man and the Metro. The book Hemmingway forgot to write.

Braille bits.

Bigger kind of Braille bits.

Adelaide, Australia - City centre.

Hitting the Adelaide parks and bits. So, what to do with three Poles in Adelaide when it is about 33C? Take them around the city centre and the parks of course. Adelaide is nice because it is all flat and easy to get around. It also has the added advantage of a ring of parks around the city to make it green and cool.

The Adelaide Conservatory is a nice place to spend a little time on a hot day as it feels tropical and refreshing.

There is a great variety of growing plants.

And they make pretty views

Just a little walk away you will find the Amazon Water Lilly Pavilion.



Which has these cool door handles to enter with.
Lots of shade is needed with some strong South Australian sun.

The Palm House is from 1875 and imported from Germany, I really love the Victorian architecture.

You'll also find plenty of succulents inside.
Prickly things too.

And more succulents outside.

With all the heat there are some decent options to refresh as well.

The entrance to the old East End markets still has the rules of inspection.


I am not a big one for candles scented or otherwise, but it is my favourite beach and two of my favourite smells so this could be an option if I had to have one. Found at Urban Cow.

Biegnij Warszawo Nocą z Legią - Run Warsaw at night with Legia

To celebrate Legia's 100th year in existence they organised a night run along with the "Run Warsaw" people. To be honest, I am not a huge fan of Legia for reasons I won't bother going into here, but the run went past our place, so I thought heck why not watch. At first we had the fun of watching the Police and Straż Miejska really badly organise traffic, it even got dangerous when a taxi driver became, or should I say proved, he is a complete arse and nearly ran over the Straż guy directing traffic and then driving away down the street he was told not to. I wish I had taken a photo of his car to have his numberplate. Hindsight. Anyway, then along came the runners, it was a balmy evening, so many people were feeling the last km where we stood.
Here come the first runners

striding and sweaty

First woman, but I was still working out my camera settings. Damn.






Getting good light balances now.



Then I decided to switch to B&W


Loving the pain.

Legia shirts old and new

Like wolves, in packs


The hair has lift off

Legia signs a plenty 

Got to love some leopard print

Just checking in with the security detail.


Loving the phone glow to light up his number

When a car surprises everyone by putting on their lights

cheeky grin

Shock!
This man is an advertising campaign

Happy birthday indeed.

Running makes me smile too.

It is hot work out there.


A pop of colour.... or two

clapping the supporters

zen like.




looks like meditation.

Kiss and run, instead of the ZTM kiss and ride campaign




a new perspective

getting creative

like an abstract painting

run my little blur run.
