[Leica] IMG: Warsaw

[Douglas Barry]

An excellent photographic foray, Nathan. It is hard to believe that 
Stalin paused his advance and kept his troops just outside Warsaw to 
permit the Germans to butcher the Polish opposition uprising and squash 
any notions of independence from Soviet control, but then again nothing 
should ever surprise anyone in this life.

Such a lot of images, but Mirror shows careful positioning and brought a 
smile

We were in Warsaw in mid-August, and three days after our return we flew off to Scotland. But now I have finally finished processing the Warsaw images, and I present my favourites in this gallery:

But the city has risen from the ashes and the misery since 1989, and is today a vibrant European metropolis, Poland’s capital and its largest city with 1.7 million people, with all the infrastructure and services one expects in such a place. And yet it has not lost its character. It is as modern as Berlin or Paris or Prague but it is not those cities. Hopefully, my photos will give you a flavour of this.
