Nowy Sacz in gray

In April and May the weather was bad. So I spotted a gray view.

This little house is not a monument. It is simply a small house living.

 Na Rurach street (On Pipes street)

Piłsudskiego Avenue

The pictures show a fragment Avenue Pilsudski. This street on the blog appears frequently. Many murals that appear in the NS are formed on the walls of garages that are left.
In the distance you can see the mountains surrounding the town.

Piłsudskiego Avenue (Aleje Piłsudskiego)

Szwedzka street

The photo shows a fragment of Szwedzka street (Swedish street).
In the seventeenth century, Swedes invaded Poland. Nowy Sacz was the first Polish town that was liberated from the Swedes.
The street name comes from the Swedish the chapel, which is nearby.

Ulica Szwedzka (Swedish street)

Housing estate Gorzków

Residential complex, which show here is extensive. Here only a fragment. These buildings were built at the end of the last century.
These photos made during the Easter holidays, so it seems quiet neighborhood. In real life, however, is more mobile.

 

Freislera street

Intersection next to the shopping center Europe.

Near the busy part of the city center.

The crossing of the runs Nawojowska street. Next is the Długosza (Dlugosz street). On the right is Rejtana street. On the left is Grodzka street.

On the right side there is a shopping mall 'Europa II'.

The fifth anniversary of the Smolensk disaster

5 years ago as a result of the coup killed Polish President prof. Lech Kaczynski. With him died many great Poles, including Ryszard Kaczorowski, the last Polish president in exile.
The Presidents and the other flight attendants went to Katyn to commemorate the fallen Polish officers murdered by the NKVD, the spring of 1940. The Russians then murdered at least 21,768 Poles.

I sought out one of the photos that I did five years ago.

Photos of President Lech Kaczynski and the President Ryszard Kaczorowski put the the Town Hall after the attack.
My first blog post.

Old Sandecja

In the middle of the city is a huge square. Many years ago this place was a sports stadium. Today the stadium is moved to another location. The city authorities have no idea how to use the square. Sometimes the square spreads his tent circus. Sometimes, the square hosts concerts. Yet all of this is very rare.

Aleje Wolności (Liberty Avenues)

Dyngus Day

Easter Monday this year was exceptionally uninteresting. The water in the form of a condensed fell profusely. Traditional wrap is not there.

In the photo forsythia sprinkled with snow. In the distance, the Municipal Cultural Centre, which showed recently.

 Wolnosci Avenues (Liberty Avenues).

Holy Saturday

Holy Saturday is another day of Holy Week. On this day we celebrate the foods and adore Jesus crucified.

The weather is still not spring. The priest who celebrated foods at noon hoped that holy water can not freeze.
In the picture the blessing of food.

  

Prayer at the tomb of Jesus.

 Adoration of the Cross.

 

Parish of the Holy Spirit dedicated.

Good Friday

Another day of Holy Week. Good Friday. Also that night in New Sacz churches held prayer until midnight. Different groups are preparing adoration prayer, meditation, choir perform songs related to the Holy Week. People come to church for several minutes or longer, sometimes for a long prayer.

Chapel of the tomb of Jesus in the Basilica of St. Margaret.

View of the tomb of Jesus of the nave.

Prayer of one of the choirs operating at the basilica.

Minor Basilica Order of Saint Margaret.

Global warming?

I remember many years ago in April was warm. Already swam in the river. Looking at the current weather probably hard to believe. And yet we have global warming. Apparently.
Photos made just leaving the church. Today is April 2.

 Church of Our Lady Immaculate.




 

Maundy Thursday

Began a period of the Easter Triduum. On Holy Thursday night Catholics pray at the prison, to which Jesus was dragged after capture.

 The iconic dungeon in the parish of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.

Municipal Cultural Centre

Colloquial name of this building is 'the House of Culture Railwaymen' (Dom Kultury Kolejarza - DKK).

The building in the picture is built in the style of socialist realism. This is one of several objects of the Municipal Cultural Centre. The property hosts a number of activities. There are dance groups, theater groups, music, ballet, vocal. The building also hosts regular events, including theater festivals.

Aleje Wolności (Liberty Avenues)

White Monastery

White Monastery is the common name of the monastery of the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception. The name comes from the color of the habit.
As an interesting side note, the oldest of living in a convent of nuns has 105 years.
Photos made in the autumn.

Another lesson for Poles Polish.

 Dlugosza street

Bridge Helenski

When I showed the castle hill, I was shooting from the bridge. This time the show bridge seen from the castle.
The bridge is to be demolished and in its place is to be built new. But I do not think it happened quickly.
Houses of the river belong to the Helena area.
The surrounding hills are a mountain range, which is called Pogórze Rożnowsko-Ciężkowickie.  

By the way, on the farthest visible plan to build a new bridge over the river Dunajec.

Polish language lessons 14 - "wiatr wieje"

wiatr wieje - the wind blows

Another lesson that appeared on the walls.
Ale o jaki błąd językowy tu chodzi?

Browarna Street

Joke or provocation?

I think that it is rather a accident or inattention. A photo on a billboard poster was the recent local elections. Anyway, the mayor is the face of advertising billboards.

Grodzka street

Park at the Royal Castle

The park, which I show, is on the site of the royal castle, which was demolished at the end of the Second World War. I mention this here.
There are no leaves on the trees allows you to show the park as a whole. We can also see the actual state of the ruins, which remained after the castle.

As you can see, this is another place in town that is not properly maintained and used.
