Thursday Thoughts – Not Only Ice Festival

A mix from the streets of Poznan. Old and new together.

The Poznan June 1956 monument with two crosses 19.5 and 21 m high (symbols of death and resurrection) was built for the victims of the great protest against Russia and Communism in 1956.

Lens-Artists Challenge #381 – Minimalism in B&W Photography

Thank you, Anne, for letting us in on all these interesting neighborhoods! And for having us check out our own too… We get so used to it, that we really stop looking.

Ritva is our lovely guide this week, and she has chosen another interesting challenge – a combination of minimalism and B&W. Please visit her beautiful site for more inspiration.

I would rather own a little and see the world, than own the world and see a little.
