Where have you been?

One of the things my mother loved the most was the particular architecture of Poland (and therefore Europe in general). Huge buildings, large facades, columns, everything. It is so different from what you find in Los Angeles it is interesting just to experience.


One of her favorites was the accents that were added to buildings. Whether it is a wrought iron lamps, carvings or gargoyles, it's different and more interesting from a cold steel/glass building.


The pictures above are all from Warsaw's old town. The top is of the street along Plac Zamkowy, the middle is on the river side of the castle, and the bottom photo is simply one of the many narrow lanes in the old town area. Could you imagine and American SUV driving alone such a street?
