Benjamin Krain - Photojournalist

This is a great photographer I came across while StumbleUponing the Internet.

I have to admit that the photos are one of its kind segregated in WHO WHAT WHERE categories - well thought with a little story to each album. I recommend:

For the good evening:)

Museum of the Warsaw Uprising

This is the first interactive and fascinating Polish museum I've ever been to! I enjoyed it a lot - the time machine to the hard and difficult times in Polish history.
The museum is placed in Warsaw, more info on their website.

Phantom of the Opera (Upiór w Operze)

The musical called the Phantom of the Opera, which I've seen in Warsaw in ROMA Theatre was unforgettable spectacle, which I truly admired and enjoyed. 

The actors were singing, dancing like I would never imagine, the Polish person can. The soft, strong and clear voices of the singers gave me a fresh picture of the Polish culture and capabilities.

Every day we are surrounded by the music, voices played in radio, tv and Interent - BUT! They do not represent the true potential which the nation has - that's why I invite you to come to Warsaw and enjoy the show put on by the crew of ROMA.

Visit to Poznan

Poznan is a special city for me, I have applied to study at Economic Academy of Poznan, however I was declined - I needed 3 more points from my final high school exams...

Well! I do not regret that I did not get to study there - at all! Life treated me well since then - I had been able to study & travel & meet all the great friends along the way! Cheers to all of them - from Germany (Schwaebisch Hall), Spain (Vic) and UK (Salford & Manchester)!

Poznan... yeah! I really enjoyed the walk around the city with my best friend - Makum, who has been living there for 4 years now and was able to share with me stories, legends and history of the buildings, surroundings and places. I admire that passion - so if you ever visit Poznan - let me know:) I will contact you with Makum!

I enjoyed visiting the city during the day, but we also had a great night life - parties in Poznan rule!;) Thanks for the cheerful party in "Stary Browar"! :)

Here are some photos - more at my picasa album as usuall (on the bottom of this post - link)

Starting visiting the city with mixed architectural styles

The old tenement which used to be a Bank

Makum and the traditional "Golden Polish Autumn"

I am so happy that I finally managed to capture this time of the year - it's so beautiful everywhere with the golden, red, yellow leaves all around...  

The Malta in Poznan where the regatta takes place every year.

By the end of the day we managed to get to the old town and the magnificent view had been presented to me:

The city hall of Poznan

The colourful tenements in the Poznan market

The city hall from different angle

Historic tenements around the city hall - at the Poznan market - represent various architectural styles and history

inspirational!

I recommend visiting Poznan, this city has a lot to offer, and is magnificent as you had a preview of what it has to get you inspired and fascinated :) Visit the Poznan website for more information: www.poznan.pl

Cycling around Warsaw

My favourite way to visit and sightsee is by cycling around it! In every city I lived this was my first purchase or rent, whether it was my home city Rzeszow or Schwaebisch Hall (Germany), Vic (Spain) or Salford and Manchester (United Kingdom). 

The bike is the most friendly and healthy option to commute in the city, and this is my choice for Warsaw. Well... for now, until it gets cold (hah! it's cold now - October!)...

Here are my first photos from the cycling around the Warsaw...

Marta at the beginning of Marszalkowska Street

Our bikes - here at Lubelska Unia Place

The Lazienki Park - here the Chopin monument, where during the summer famous artists play his music.

Wonderful buildings in the Lazienki Park

not only us were enjoying the lovely weekend in Warsaw :)

I was impressed by the lovely surroundings in the park

Yes! This is a real palm in the centre of Warsaw! I suppose someone wanted to bring closer some exotic place such as Australia to the citizens?

Traditional Polish products... here fresh bread with the lard with pork scratchings and a gherkin

The first Polish car powered by electric engine! (More info on: http://www.imotive.pl )

Life in Warsaw goes really fast... but I hope that I will find more time to go around and take some more photos to share and enjoy!:)

If you ever travel to Warsaw then contact me and I will be glad to meet and show around :)
