Niedzica Castle [5]

Today next photos from the inside of the castle in Niedzica. In the first one, you can see several trophies of local hunters:) We prefer these animals before taxidermy...
In the second photo there is the knight in his chamber. We strongly believe that it is just the exhibit and he did not have a chance to meet any taxidermist:)

The path...

... straight to the sky. We found this summer view in place situated just about 30 - 40 minutes walking from the center of Nowy Sacz.

Silver river

Colourful

This bus stop for sure looks optimistic even in gloomy days:) We found it near one of the churches when we were traveling through the Wooden Architecture Route.

Together but alone...

We found this sculpture in one of the Nowy Sacz's schools which is situated just behind the Saint Margaret church.

Hidden in green

Carpet...

... made from flowers in the 'Planty' Park.

Masonic sign

Today we present you the masonic sign. During one of our walk through the town we noticed that many buildings in Nowy Sacz have such symbols on their facades.

This sign was found on the yellow tenement on Narutowicza street - just behind the St. Casimir church (the whole building you can see here).

If you enlarge the photo you can see that there is the image of Saint Mary on one of the glasses- strange composition with masonic symbol:)
