The Toruń sky lights up!

(c) 2007 Nowosci newspaper - 29th September 2007

These are the spectacular views that Toruń Daily Photo witnessed unexpectedly last night. We were in our apartment in the Old Town of Toruń...when suddenly the sky was lit up with a massive fireworks display. Its not uncommon for Toruń to have fireworks (the Poles do like to celebrate) but this time the display was exceptionally amazing. Lasting over 10 mins with huge synchronised fireworks lighting up landmarks such as the Cathedral and the River Vistula; it turned out later that the display was to celebrate Toruń winning 2nd place in the official "Seven wonders of Poland" campaign*. No wonder it was a spectacular display.

*This was a nationwide campaign launched by the leading newspaper Rzeczpospolita to find the seven wonders of Poland. Toruń came second place with its stunning view of the panorama of the old town across the river Vistula.
