Just south of Toruń!

TORUŃ DAILY PHOTO is back! Apologies for the delay but have been away working in the UK for the past couple of months. As you can see I am now back in Poland...and my jet flew just south of Toruń on its way to Warsaw airport. There is an airport in Bydgoszcz but only served by Ryanair.

Upon arrival at Warsaw Okęcie airport I tried the new train service that connects the airport with Warsaw Centralna station. Excellent! Gone are the days where you'll be stuck in heavy traffic jams.

Return to Poland

The plane mainly full of Poles heading back home.

Didn't realise that kid on the right was spying on me until later!! :-)

My plane back to Poland -complete with special Polish Tourism logo. Not sure why they had to check the left engine immediately after landing though!!

Flew back to Poland last week on board LOT Polish Airlines. Nice new Embraer jet but a very costly trip as was forced to buy a last minute ticket as my original booking had been cancelled - long story!.

On the plus side TORUŃ DAILY PHOTO is now back and will continue to put up some new photos and posts all about our favourite Polish city!

Low-flying Russians!

Was out exploring the Barbarka forest last weekend...when all of the sudden this low-flying Russian-built Antonov An-2 plane flew overhead...it was so low that it felt like it was going to scrape the trees (though am sure the pilot still had a perfectly safe altitude). Guess the plane was heading towards Toruń's airfield.

Sun & Sky

I was quickly called to the window by my ever-thoughtful wife to take this picture of the dramatic lighting on the tree and the dark grey ash-filled clouds that are currently hanging over Europe.

The volcanic ash from the Icelandic eruption has been causing immense travel chaos around the world...with a knock-on domino effect. My mother was due to fly tomorrow but her airline has cancelled ALL flights till Monday. So she's taking the bus instead!! Longer...but far more scenic!!

A Flying Contrast

Toruń is situated bang on the international flight path for many long-haul flights heading from Asia and vice-versa. This jet is one such airliner heading towards a European-bound destination. Particularly love the sharp white contrasts of the vapour trails against the blue sky. The cream building on the left is actually the bell tower of Toruń's university church
