After Lodz, we headed up north with my uncle to Gdansk, and stayed in my grandmother's apartment in the nearby summer resort town of Sopot. As you can see below, it's also charming in the winter, weather permitting. Of course, the frozen Baltic is no good for swimming, but for some reason there are swans on the beach in the winter, and the icy water is quite pretty. All the images below were taken at the Pier (called "molo" in Polish), which in the summertime is covered with merchants selling all sorts of things, especially amber. The last image is the Grand Hotel right by the pier.      Posted by Gaja at April 5, 2006 01:23 AM © All images are copyrighted. Please contact me for permission or licensing.

It's nice being able to enjoy this lovely -20 degree winter scenery from the comfort of my home computer. :) Posted by: chiaroscuro at April 5, 2006 10:30 AM The pier photo and the frozen water one are so cool! I have never seen frozen water look like that! It looks so otherworldly. Posted by: luminouslens at April 5, 2006 02:11 AM Post a comment |
