There was a lot of snow in Nowy Sacz in recent days, but now thanks to 'Halny' wind all the snow is off:)
Nowy Sacz is ready for Christmas!
Hello again!:)
Today, we celebrate the independence day. A short note about it you can read here.
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:)
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!
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:))
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).
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.
The example of traditional house of the Polish rural regions. The photo was taken in Chochorowice, about 10 km from Nowy Sacz.
This is how the river of Kamienica looks like after one night of rain. Here you can see how it looks as usual.
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:)
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.
The building of the Municipal Culture Center in Nowy Sacz. Situated on Freedom Avenue ('Aleje Wolności').
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'.
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 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.
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 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.
