Rybka

Last Wednesday we took a little trip into the country to get some fried fish for lunch. Driving on some of the 10miles of highways in Poland, we got a pretty nice view of the old town from the river Vistula.






A little further North, we crossed the river to get an equally unobstructed view of one of the largest water heating plants in Poland. The Żerań plant used to heat all of Warsaw at one point, though I think now there are more plants. The smoke stack is so high, I used to be able to see it from my old house on the other end of the city.


Way out of Warsaw there is this really cool looking restaurant build in an architectural style reminiscent of Polish buildings from the golden age of the Commonwealth. We haven't been there, but I've heard that the food is spectacular.





Driving back we saw some pretty great views of the countryside. I like seeing the contrast between the old fields and the "new" power grid installations.








And finally back in Warsaw. A view of the grand Socialist architecture. I must admit there is something pleasing and peaceful about these buildings to me. The sort of look like a formation of starships moving through space.
