Ah, what color against that sky!
And I seem to remember my friend liking pinwheels - always getting one when a youth...

Very colorful and fun - nice composition with the Royal Palace in the background! Are there any princes aged 10, 7, and 4?

Wow—how cool is this?! Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay here in the land of my ancestors (well, one of them, anyway).

superbe profondeur de champs avec l'église orthodoxe( très belle, il me semble ) et puis la fête des couleurs en premier plan, bon weekend

What a colorful contrast!

Bibi, did the Royal Palace actually survive WWII, or was it rebult?

Poland suffered so horribly in that war - and suffered more afterwards because Roosevelt gave her away to Stalin.

Pat said...

Hello, Louis. Yes, from what I understand this palace was destroyed, then rebuilt.

Be back soon!

Unusual and captivating image.

Tash said...

Wow! there is so much in this photo - the mix of new and old, the whimsical and stately, the primary, bold colors and the rich tones of the building, and of course - the sky.

Katarina said...

I love this photo! The pinwheels are so sharp, it feels like I could almost touch them!

Suburban Girl said...

Wow, this makes me think of a meme I've done a few times called Color Carnival. This would be a great link for it.

 This is a post that would be better in color, but maybe not. These colors were soooo pale.
