Where have you been?

After a brief visit to the Sopot pier we headed into old town Gdańsk. As with other towns in Poland Gdańsk has passed from one set of hands to the next from over the ages. For a long time it was a free city but it has also been German, Prussian, and Russian. It is commonly known (to Germans) as Danzig.


As you can see from these photos it is very beautiful but I was having an off day with my camera. Something weird about sunlight, cloud cover, and the high, red toned walls. Oh well, everyone has an off day.


The city is really beautiful though. It is rumored to be a candidate for the UNESCO World Heritage list but has to wait its turn.


The photos here are all of the old town and harbor areas.
