And the night starts

So as the night started to fall we drifted about to see what happens.

The crowd starts to disperse

Taking the kids home

But no reason for missing that last icecream.
Yeah time to go.

Head down and head home
A golden eagle

The place of the devils pierogi

The wall mural or old dumpling
Tower Power

There is even a stained glass shop

Townhall
The streets are clearing

Then the lights start to take effect

Glowing all pretty

Even Nickers gets into it with a solid glow, or is it a fake tan?

The only way is up

Even with the lights on the sky still makes the picture

But it shows how lights can make shapes otherwise blocky more interesting.
Here the light shows two characters eating into the pierniki reserve bank

The remaining emptiness
Now the night has really set in.

So it all comes down to the lighting now

Nothing like the evening movement.
Now Nickers is conducting wedding ceremonies

I do like the little kid on the back right.

For me, black and white can suit the medieval feel of Churches
Tea shop

She really needs that tea to stay awake.
Even though in Torun you can actually see the stars from town they still bring them to you in true customer service.
To see where they fit in, here is a quick panorama of the square.
Mouse traps anyone? Classic, a mouse trap store. Scary.
So is there anything scarier to a grown man in Torun, than mouse traps? Yes, of course.
Jail at night, see the figures in the window watching you.....
Or better yet a woman staring at wedding dresses!



And so folks, here ends our lovely tour of Torun. I thoroughly recommend it to all.

TSA or Torun Street Action

I think I will always love street photography because it is all about people just being themselves. It is advantageous when you are in a town that has a history of tourism so when taking photos it and you don't feel so out of place.

Let's see what this window of opportunity shows us.

The big Cheese (Sery means cheeses)

into the afternoon they strolled.
The longest legs in town
Pointy bits

Colours. And the start of the stockings.

Unfortunately not as clear as normal but I loved the little girl soaking up the sun.
stroll and chat and shop and chat


I have wanted to take photos of these horrid pants for a long time. They look like black plastic rubbish bags made into some sort of tights. Ugh horrible. Glad I could bring them to attention
The new Checkered Republic

Time for a hot chocolate break


Happy clown pants
Even the Torun teens are cool, or at least wear acid wash jeans

Drinking beer in the sun is like a gun to the head.
I really want to do a series on Polish women and their stockings. There is such variety!

I like that she matched he clothes and accessories to her crutches
Casual

I am sure she is clicking to the beat, while her friend digs for the off button to the wind machine.

Hey look I found a Złoty

Patterns are back
Matchy matchy
