Iron ornaments

We are quite busy these days so we haven't had enough time to make interesting photos for you. We decided to rummage in our archive:)

This photo was taken in the castle in Niedzica (probably you remember this beautiful castle from our photos:))

Dunajec nearby Stary Sacz

The Dunajec River nearby Stary Sacz.

The footbridge

In the photo there is the footbridge over the Kamienica River. It leads to 'Barskie' housing estate (the blocks in the background of the photo).

Stary Sacz

Today, we post a photo from Stary Sacz - lovely little town located just 8 km from Nowy Sacz. In the future we will show you more photos from this charming place.
Similar perspective of Stary Sacz you can also find in our today's post at Macro Photos:)

The Tower

The spire of Nowy Sacz's townhall.

Chochorowice

The example of traditional house of the Polish rural regions. The photo was taken in Chochorowice, about 10 km from Nowy Sacz.

Old Cemetery

This is the entrance (from Freedom Avenue) of so called Old Cemetery in Nowy Sacz. There are many old interesting gravestones. We will show you some of them in the future.

In the background you can see a small church which is often called the church at Old Cemetery:)

After the rain

This is how the river of Kamienica looks like after one night of rain. Here you can see how it looks as usual.

Under the protection of...

...Saint Mary. It is the detail of one of the buildings on Kosciuszki Street in Nowy Sacz.

Golden Eye

The old one in the new one

Reflection of the old in something new.

170 years of photography

Today is the 170th anniversary of public photography. In January 1839 Louis Daguerre (French artist and chemist) announced creation of Daguerreotype - type of photograph. This patent was bought by French government and on August 19, 1839 it was given to the whole world as a "gift". Perfect gift:)
We decided to celebrate this day by photographing some old cameras: Zorki (Зоркий), Smena (Смена), Precisa Beier and new one: Fuji.

Swedish Chapel

This is so-called 'Swedish Chapel' ('Kapliczka Szwedzka') from 1771. It is situated near Jagiellonska Street. It commemorates the victory of our town during the Swedish Deluge (Nowy Sacz was the first town in Poland where the Swedes became defeated). The chapel was built in the place where the Swedish soldiers were buried.

Municipal Culture Center

The building of the Municipal Culture Center in Nowy Sacz. Situated on Freedom Avenue ('Aleje Wolności').

Dancing Couples

The monuments of dancing couples in the 'Planty' Park.

Angels/200th post

This stained-glass window (precisely - there are also doors) you can find in some tiny chapel of Nowy Sacz's Basilica. The text on the top of the window ('Królewskie Miasto Nowy Sącz rok założenia 1292') means 'The Royal City of Nowy Sacz established in 1292'.

This is also our 200th post:)

Look up

Today we present you one of the tower of the Saint Margaret church.

Stop and read

In this 'book' there is written information about the place where it is situated (this particular is next to the 'boulders' in the 'Planty' Park).
In Nowy Sacz you can find such 'infoboards' near the castle as well (and maybe in some other places where we didn't notice them:))

Kroscienko

In Kroscienko on last Friday:)

In the opposite wall...

In the end of June we showed you the stained-glass window from the St. Casimir's church. Today, we come back to this temple in order to present another stained-glass window.

Hidden in roses

Summer shot from Szczawa - village which is situated about 40 kilometres from Nowy Sacz.

A cup of...

... flowers in the 'Planty' Park in Nowy Sacz:)

Tour de Pologne [2]

The sixth stage of Tour de Pologne started on Friday in Kroscienko (35 km from Nowy Sacz). In our photos you can see some interesting vehicles which follow with the race...

...professional bikes (which are usually worth not less than your cars:))...

...and the peleton in the start of the stage.

Tour de Pologne

Tour de Pologne is one of the most significant cycling races on the world (after Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España). The finish of the fifth stage was situated in Krynica, just about 30 km from Nowy Sacz.

We can not miss the chance to see the cyclists of the best teams on the world, like Astana, Euskaltel, Lampre, Liquigas, Columbia and others:)

The photos were taken on Thursday.
