Toruń Blaze (by Mark Hoogslag)

Toruń is famed for its old, charming architecture. However, its wooden-timbered medieval frames do sometimes come at a price. On the morning of Thursday 15th March 2007, a major fire broke out in a 15th Century tenement building in the city's Old Town. Luckily, there were no fatalities but the fire did completely gut the building (including the "Stara Babcia" (Old Grandmother's) pub in it's basement). Our guest photographer Mark was on the scene to capture some shots.
