Warsaw at Night

There is a big ugly skyscraper from the 1950s which was built by Stalin as a "gift" to Poland located right near the hotel I stayed at. It is the same style building as the ones that I had seen in Moscow & Riga.  It isn't too popular with the local people & was originally white, but after years of pollution is darker & dirtier.  Here are some photos of it during the day & at night.

I also photographed some of the nearby skyscrapers which are light up in different colors.

My last night in Warsaw, I went down to the river & got some nice photos of the bridges. Unfortunately  I didn't realize that there was a nice wide pedestrian lane on the 2nd level of the bridge & I ended up taking a narrow lane on the top of the bridge with a knee high guardrail with traffic whizzing by at 60 mph.  It was a much more pleasant walk on the 2nd level on the way back.

Going over the bridge on the top level was a bad idea.

This return trip was much better.

I was able to get some really good photos & there were quite a few people along this section of the river.
