The Last One Standing


Toruń is full of old buildings. Many have been renovated and restored, others like this one are in need of some major TLC. Although old and dilapitated, this building is still strangely beautiful. I particularly love the circular plaque by the lamp. It speaks a thousand words. Who is the bearded figure? Was he a King of Poland perhaps? Why is he on this particular building? In the 2nd picture, you can also easily make out where 3 other similar plaques once stood. History on your doorstep!

LOOKING ABOVE: Interesting Relief

Here at TORUŃ DAILY PHOTO you learn to look up...and often you are rewarded with seeing something that you hadn't noticed before! Here is an interesting relief on the side of a building in Ul. Rabianska...which although has been there for years and years...had escaped our attention!

The joys of being an eagle-eyed photographer!
