Melting...

All the snow is melting now. We hope it is the sign that spring is coming:)

'White Convent'

Just near the church of Our Lady Immaculate there is the monastery called, by inhabitants of Nowy Sacz, 'the White Convent' (because of the white walls of the monastery). Nuns from this convent run school for girls and recently have opened cake shop (they are famous because of delicious cooking).

We posted other angle of the convent some time ago. You can see it here.

Among the whiteness

On narrow paths near river of Kamienica you can walk among clear whiteness... Really relaxing and calming:)

Winter still doesn't want to go away from Nowy Sacz.

Snow-covered

We are totally covered with snow. Yesterday it was snowing like crazy. In the photo there is Królowej Jadwigi Street. On the left, you can see road, on the right - there is a pavement (sidewalk). Everything is white!

3 x 3 m

Tiny hut on Roszkowice hill. Hard to imagine how people could live in something like that.

Playing with Sun

Sunset over the church of Our Lady Immaculate and colourful light spots.

Winter footbridge

The footbridge over the Kamienica River at night. Its summer perspective you can see here.
In the background there is the sports hall and 'Barskie' housing estate.

Frozen river

Ice on the River of Kamienica.

Golden stones

The church of St. Margaret in evening scenery.

Warning

Found on the building's wall on Nowy Sacz's town square. Are your towns and cities monitoried by cameras? In Nowy Sacz there is monitoring system in the center and on some of the main streets.

Winter whiteness

In Roszkowice - winter can be beautiful:)

Concrete boxes

The view on the north-eastern part of Nowy Sacz from Roszkowice hill. The first row of high-rise blocks, it is so called 'Barskie II' housing estate. We show these buildings first time at this blog. The second row of high-rise blocks is 'Barskie' housing estate - a part of the town which we've already presented several times. In the photo there is also easily noticable church of Our Lady Immaculate. The building of the temple is dominating over this fragment of Nowy Sacz. From this perspective, it is incredible that in such concrete boxes live thousands of people.

New shopping centre

A new shopping centre in Nowy Sacz, located at Węgierska (Hungarian) Street. The name of the centre (Sandecja) is exactly the same like the name of the most popular Nowy Sacz's football club. Strange...

Cottage

On Jamnicka Street. As you can see - 30-40 years ago in this part of Nowy Sacz - there was a countryside. The cottage is probably one of the last relics of those days.

Królowej Jadwigi Street

Królowej Jadwigi Street. On the right, there are blocks of 'Millenium' housing estate.

Pinnacle

On Freedom Avenue ('Aleje Wolności'), Nowy Sacz.

The House

In April last year we showed you his car. Today we present you one of his houses in Nowy Sacz (and for sure not the best one:)). No pain, no gain:)

Nawojowska Street

Nawojowska Street at night. On the left there are the high-rise blocks of 'Millenium' housing estate. The photo was taken from the footbridge over the street.

Sports Hall

Nowy Sacz's sports hall is located on the bank of the Kamienica River. On the side wall there is probably the biggest billboard in the town. We've already posted the sports hall (actually its roof::)) on June last year.

Sunset over winter Wolki

This is the view on housing estate called 'Wolki'. We posted spring view from this place last year. You can see it here.

A BIG BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU!

Beauty and the Beast

The Beauty and the Beast are neighbours on Freedom Avenue ('Aleje Wolności') in Nowy Sacz.
It's a great example to show how the times of communism disfigured Polish towns and cities.

Under the bridge

Under the Bridge of the 700 years of the town of Nowy Sacz:)

The National Army

Soldiers of 'AK' - part II.

Patriotically

Painting on the fence in 'Barskie' housing estate. It presents young Polish soldier of the National Army (Armia Krajowa), from the times of the Second World War.

In the background there is the Primary School No. 20.

Other interesting graffitis from this place we' ll show tomorrow:)

Frost

Freezing night over the rails.

Krolowej Jadwigi Street

Entrance doors to the church of St. Casimir.

Giant

Globalization

Effects of globalized world. Have you already eaten your today's portion of cheeseburgers, chips and shake?:)
Pilsudskiego Avenue in Nowy Sacz.

Winter path

Better side of the winter - brightness, cleanness and whiteness!
In the photo there is the area of the Kamienica River.

On the river

Yes, you are right our dear friends - this winter we live in Snowy Sacz:)
In the photo there is Barskie housing estate 'over' the river of Kamienica.

White January

Hello! The beginning of the year of 2010 is very snowy in Poland.
As you can see in the photo (banks of the Kamienica River) everything is white - it seems to look very nice, but makes some troubles as well:)
It is our first post in this year (shame on us:)) so we wish all of you a Happy New Year and happy photoblogging!

Christmas Decorations [5]

There was a lot of snow in Nowy Sacz in recent days, but now thanks to 'Halny' wind all the snow is off:)
We wish you Marry Christmas and happiness. See you soon:)
In the photo there are illuminated chestnut tree and Christmas tree on the town square.

Christmas Decorations [4]

Christmas decorations on Freedom Avenue ('Aleje Wolności').

Christmas Decorations [3]

Christmas Decorations [1]

Nowy Sacz is ready for Christmas!
Today, we start the series of Nowy Sacz Christmas Decorations photos. In this photo, taken on the town square, there are: the townhall, the chestnut tree and the Christmas tree.

Brick house

This is one of the buildings situated by Jagiellonka Street. If you enlarge the photo you can see the image of Saint Mary (between windows).

Red Square

Hello again!:)
In today's photo you can see the square just next to the 'Planty' Park and the monument of one of the most famous Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz.
Why the Red Square? It is sometimes called that by the people of Nowy Sacz because of the red brick (it's obvious:)) but also because of the monument. Is it beuatiful? We do not know. For sure it seems to be in socialist style (like in Moscow, this is why this place is called Red Square). Mickiewicz deserved something better:)

Griffin?

This is the detail which we promised to show you. The creatures in the paintings look similar to mitological griffins. We found it interesting:)

Number 1

This is the building of the primary school number 1 in Nowy Sacz. It is located in the center of Nowy Sacz, just next to the Saint Casimir church, on the corner of Dlugosza Street and Konarskiego Street.

We will post some interesting detail of this building tomorrow:)

Charming...

We searched our archive and we found this charming Willa-Zofia:) It needs renovation but for sure it is a beautiful and interesting building:)

Polish Independence Day

Today, we celebrate the independence day. A short note about it you can read here.

In the photo there is a stained-glass window from the Nowy Sacz's Basilica. You can see in it the White Eagle - the national coat of arms of Poland.

Strongman

Strongman holds the Nowy Sacz's townhall.

Autumn emptiness

Empty park near Nowy Sacz's castle. The most colourful season in the year is also usually the most depressive and sad. Paradoxes of our world:)

Better late than never:)

When we posted our previous photo in the late summer we really did not expect that the next one we present you in the middle of the autumn. We know that you were extremely patient and we appreciate it very much!
So, today we have something for really patient people:) - chess table on the Square of May 3rd in Nowy Sacz.
We hope to update our blog next time sooner than in the winter:) Take care!

Postcard from holidays

Hello again:) We are back after wonderful holidays. This is one of the photos which we took in ... you can guess where:) (it is a really easy puzzle:))

Unfortunately it seems to be that we will be very busy and we won't manage to run our blog as a Daily Photo Blog. It means that we will post photos not so often as we used to do it. But of course we invite you to visit our blog! It will be great pleasure for us!

End of holidays?

Today we decided to post quite holiday and summer photo in spite of the fact that it is the first day of school, so the end of holidays. But... not for us:) We are leaving Nowy Sacz and going on deserved holidays:) We will be back in the second part of September.

We wish you happy days!

P.S. This photo was taken in Niedzica:)
