  • Calm evening

    I found this interestingly shaped tree on the Bolesława Prusa street in Gliwice during a casual walk in February, 2025.

    The whole street, besides it’s in the city centre, feels very nice and calm. What initially caught my attention was the sun shining through the very thin branches of the currently leafless tree (it’s winter, obviously).

  • The Water Tower

    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 Trees

    A couple of weeks ago I shot trees growing along the road, so here they are. That day the weather was very nice. The sky was crystal clear and there still were some remains of snow. I was lucky to have time to go out during those few days we had snow during the 2024/2025 winter. Because of that the leafless trees make a nice contrast to the clear sky, and muddy path is not so muddy because of the snow.

  • The Old Tracks

    The old railroad tracks I found on a walk near my house. They lead to a nearby coal mine site which is currently not used (or barely used). I don’t know when they were used the last time, but it couldn’t be very long time ago. While they are overgrown and rusty, you can still see the tunnel in the trees where the train used to fit.

    When I took the photo it was winter, but the weather was more like it was the beginning of autumn. I think that orangish-brown shades in the surroundings nicely fit with the old tracks, creating a monochromatic composition.

  • The Overgrown Shed

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

  • Beautiful sunset in Gliwice

    When I went for a walk just after a New Year of 2025, I was lucky enough to find this beautiful view. The colors on the sky were stunning, especially that it was really cloudy and gray for a couple of days. Looking on the green fields it’s hardly to say that it was shot on January. On the horizon you can see the town of Knurów, which is near Gliwice, and of course there’s a silhouette of beautiful mountains.
