  • The Chapel

    Capela de Nossa Senhora das Vitórias on the São Miguel island (Azores), 2025

    The next photo from my summer trip to São Miguel island in May 2025. This is a beautiful old chapel. The walls and the roof are covered with moss and other small plants, which only adds to feeling of its age.

  • The Azorean Lighthouse

    Lighthouse on the São Miguel island (Azores), 2025

    In May of this year, I went to the Azores with a couple of friends. We were visiting the São Miguel island and among many stunning views, we’ve seen this beautiful lighthouse – Farol do Arnel.

    This is the first of a few photos from this trip I will be sharing, so stay tuned.

  • The Water Tower

    Water tower, Jana III Sobieskiego street, Gliwice, 2025

    This water tower is located on the Jana III Sobieskiego street in Gliwice. It was built probably in the early XX century and is one of the few still existing water towers in Gliwice.

    I took this photo during a nice walk at the end of February, 2025. I hope this building will be taken care of. It looks nice and uniquely in the neighborhood where most of the buildings are houses probably from similar period.

  • The Purple Mural

    The Purple Mural, Rooftop somewhere in Barcelona, 2018

    This one’s a blast from the past. Maybe not a very ancient past, but certainly a pre-pandemic past. In spring 2018 I went for a few days to Barcelona with a couple of friends. At some point, we went up the hill where there was a beautiful view of part of the city and the sea. Besides the usual stuff, this was what brought my attention to one of the building’s rooftop.

  • The Overgrown Shed

    It’s just a photo of an old, overgrown shed I found when walking near my home.

  • Coal mine in Gliwice Bojków

    Sometime in the end of November 2024, I went for a night walk. It was quite a dark, foggy, moonless night, but I decided to take a camera with me. I was wandering around the old coal mine area. The buildings are not fully abandoned yet, but currently there is not much going on. Still, I’ve seen security guards walking and driving around every some time.

    Even though the conditions weren’t the best, I managed to get a few shots. I didn’t think that I would be able to make much use of them, as I didn’t take a tripod, so I had to shoot at a very high ISO. Anyways, after some processing, I was able to get a few interesting images. I think that they convey the atmosphere of this deteriorating, mostly abandoned industrial place.
