I hope your future photos will include photos of Lodz, Poland . . . a city that one hears and sees very little of.
If I ever make it up to Poland again - and the chances are pretty good as we still want to cover the city of Dresden and the nearby area of Saxony Switzerland that we missed at the end of this trip presentation, and thus might want to include another slice of Poland - then Lodz would be pretty much on top of the list of places to visit.

More gorgeous facades, Joe. Love these European buildings. #7 is neat as it depicts a lion, a mythical figure, an eagle and in a higher position than them sits a chicken.
Thanks John - good observation, maybe the builders at that time valued their productive chicken (with their "golden eggs") more than the exotic and mystical but non-productive animals?

Photo #4 has a lot of interest. I can't imagine the artistry that went into building and maintaining over the years. They certainly have a lot of wires apparently descending from the rooftop antenna and going in various windows and openings all over. Too bad they couldn't bury them. But you've said that before. That's one way in which our modern buildings are good--wires can be buried in the walls. Not easy in solid, thick walls like they have.
Photo #7 is interesting also. The animals are well done and your steady hand maintains good detail even in DDL. It seems there is an animal hierarchy of largest, perhaps hungriest, up to smallest and least able to defend.

Thank you Ellen. The main difference between the buildings I showed before in Poznan and now here in Wroclaw is that the buildings are larger in Wroclaw, nicely painted but much less decorated then in Poznan. There are very few exceptions, best demonstrated here by the House of the Seven Electors, which really sticks out from the other facades here. Your comment on #7 is interesting: I never thought of it as a bottoms-up hierarchy but you absolutely could be right!
