Visit My Flickr for a bigger resolution [after wikipedia] The palace is built on an artificial island that divides the lake into two parts, a smaller northern lake and a larger southern one. The palace is connected to the surrounding park by two Ionic colonnaded bridges. The façades are unified by an entablature carried by giant Corinthian pilasters that link its two floors and are crowned by a balustrade that bears statues of mythologic figures. The north façade is relieved by a central pedimented portico. On the south front, a deep central recess lies behind a screen of Corinthian columns. The building began as a bathhouse for Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski, owner of adjacent Ujazdów Castle.Stanisław August Poniatowski decided to convert it into private quarters, and it was remodeled by Domenico Merlini between 1764 to 1795. The palace was nearly destroyed by the Germans in World War II.Afterwards the palace served as a barracks.
View larger: Humans define a balloon a a type of aircraft that remains aloft due to its buoyancy. Large balloons filled with hot air or buoyant gas (often hydrogen or helium) have been used as flying machines since the 18th century. The earliest flights were made with hot air balloons using air heated with a flame, or hydrogen; later, helium was used. This balloon travels against all law of physics. It’s been made out of steel and titanium, yet it’s travelling speed slightly crosses the speed of sound.
Lines are an idealisation of a straight objects with negligible width and height and are usually considered to be infinitely long.
One of Warsaw Old City passages. Even in middle Europe sometimes you find places from a totally different world. For a tiny slice of a moment, standing by those claustrophobic walls, made me feel like a Persian citizen somewhere away in a distant place and time.

Is there anyone who doesn’t love those colorful blowns of nature at the very end of every winter? Enjoy my first attempt to “faked macro” – faked since all of them where shot with regular lenses at extremly wide open apertures. Stay tuned for more
Ever been in those parks where entire cities are minuturized but still looks so real? Enjoy this upcoming series of Toy City.
It was quite challenging to stick the huge nikkor 24-70 inside such a tiny building, but finally i made it…
Meet Mr Edmund. He does his living by repairing old radios. Everyday elegant, everyday with a Story to tell. If you are lucky you might meet him in Warsaw – beware thou – his work place is open from 12 to 15 and he really likes taking brakes. I found this picture recently (1st picture of Mr Edmund) and actually decided to give it a try. Wha do you folks think?
