From the Great Armory we wend our way northwards towards the Hala Targowa Market Complex, passing buildings with interesting decorations, fascinating architecture, medieval fortification towers and street vendors who spread out their wares on the pavement.

It's quite interesting how many different façade decorations can be found here.
I find it impressive, that they have kept them intact(or repaired) through the centuries too!

That last shot is an incredible one, like most of yours, of this place that seems a-burst with color, character, and grace

Thank you Bill!

Yes, Rob, these facade decorations are really a hallmark of the Polish towns we visited, particularly earlier in Poznan and here in Gdansk.

Thanks Joe, yes amazing how a few bunches of flowers, just laid down on the pavement, can embellish an image - thanks for your appreciation.

Another great set Joe. Beautiful decorations on the buildings in the beginning of the set. The Press House is a very interesting piece of architecture, as are the buildings in the Dariusz Kobzdej Square and the Podmurzu tower. I like your shots of the street vendors and their wares too.

Thank you Vince for your appreciation of the beauties created here as well as of the simple folks selling their wares in their simple settings on the pavement.
