Viveka treated me with a bottle of champagne on my birthday – the last day in Poland. So cheers to Viveka as well, and to the spectacular Light Move Festival!
I will post next week on some of the events – nights and days – in this lovely city of Łódź.
Just prepairing…
One of the alleyways to Piotrkowska Street sent a magical spell across our path…Viveka saw the shimmering light – and in we went. Hate or enjoy? Anyway it has a special and very touching story – go to Viveka at Myguiltypleasures to read it!
Today Piotrkowska Street is the axis of Łódź. Here, in its proximity, almost all of the most important administrative offices, banks, shops, restaurants and pubs are situated. Most events (- like The Light Move Festival we came for -), outdoor parties, marches and official celebrations, organized by the city of Łódź, are taking place – here:
The Piotrkowska Street is also known as the ”Łódź Walk of Fame”.
Between Tuwima Street and Nawrot Street there is the Monument of Łódź Citizens of Millennium Change, which is a nominal surface covering the part of Piotrkowska Street. This is probably the only monument of this kind in the world, consisting of 13.454 nominal cobblestones.
Some of the very special things I noticed were:
This is the popular Teddy Floppy-ear, a Polish character from the stop motion-animated TV series of the same name.Whenever we passed by (and that was often…) he had admirers around…
But, it is getting late, so I say good night for now…See you in the alleyways of colour and art – maybe tomorrow?
Walking down Piotrkowska – our street (the 5 km main street) in Łódź – we met many lovely pedestrians. This lady was no exception, only a very bright and colourful one. Maybe the background might be called a bit pedestrian (adj), though?
For Cee this week – Letter G in Dragons. Found in our street in Łódź last week!
From Michelle, WordPress, we get Windows – how to frame our message…Here is Łódź, Poland, Grand Hotel Café.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Letter F – Topic is Fun or Flowers
Why not both? Now I will take a short blog break to go away and have some fun myself too! See you next week!
For Paula’s Traces of the Past – a picture taken in Rom’s Ostia Antica. A magnificent place to stroll and marvel at our ancestor’s architecture.
