W-wa Jeziorki: Wrocław snapshots

A mad rush of a week - Warsaw-Poznań-Wrocław-Warsaw, little time for snapping, but here's a handful.

Below: an tenement on ulica Romana Dmowskiego. Down at heel, in need of a remont - but still inhabited. Take a look at the bottom right of the picture...

Below: ...detail of the uncovered ghost sign, 'lebensmittel' = foodstuff, groceries what have you. As I wrote here, Poles are no longer uncomfortable with reminders that these lands were once a part of Germany.

Below: only the cars give away the fact that we're no longer in the communist era - 1970s blocks of flats, ul. Zachodnia, Wrocław.

Below: the former Linke-Hofmann factory, after the war becoming the PaFaWag factory, now back with its former owners, within the group now known as Alstom.

Below: some lovely klimat - reeking of industrial history.

Wrocław's ul. Robotnicza ('Workers' Street'), just ahead of the opening of the new tram route, with parallel cycle path and footpath. No cars. That's the way to plan urban thoroughfares!
