This is my beloved yellow lady!

Thursday Thoughts – Things That Caught My Eye in Łódź

I love things new and things old, architecture and juxtaposition of styles. Things dilapidated, things science fiction, things…Well, maybe we all do. Hope a mix will be enjoyable this Thursday!

 

A walk in contemplation…

– as always…

The old Jewish cemetery

Abandoned places in the middle of the city

In between old and new apartments – he was selling fresh fruit and vegetables

One of the many impressive street art works – this city is considered one of the major cities in the world for graffiti artists

CFFC: Lights

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Lights

If there were no lights in the world, we would not be able to see something of it. At least not at night. So, here we go with artificial lights!

Macro Monday – in My Morning Garden

Some surviving flowers in my garden – but not many. In the early morning light – this Aster Princess wearing her crown.

Less spectacular, but very saffron – is the millimeter lichen on my old apple tree.

And the Common Spindle – with a delightful fruit. I collected some seeds in the forest 6-7 years ago – and got these lovely results.
