Photos from Tuesday morning, before I fell ill with the dreaded flu. Grim feel of a February day when spring seems distant. A walk along the brow of the Vistula escarpment, from ul. Smolna to ul. Tamka.
Below: looking down the steps descending towards Park Karola Beyera, PKP W-wa Powiśle station to the right.
Below: the Szarytki convent in winter (more about this curious institution here)
Below: the footbridge over ul. Tamka, looking down towards Most Świętokrzyski. Two murals - to the right, the permanent one facing the Chopin museum, to the left, one used to advertise forthcoming televisual/cinematic attractions.
Below: the footbridge over ul. Tamka, looking up towards ul. Kopernika. To the left, the new Motel 1 is nearing completion (work started last March - the pace of construction is impressive - unlike anything the public sector touches!). Motel 1 will have 180 rooms priced between 200zł and 300zł a night with the accent on good design. I hope the name 'motel' does not suggest 'parking for 180 cars!'
Below: round-cornered buildings a Warsaw thing. Corner of ul. Karasia and Obożna, Hotel Harenda to the left.
Got home Tuesday evening - went straight to bed feeling awful.
