Yes, I think it is for primary pupils. The boards suggest that spelling is taught there. It is in the fun center.
Next:What and where is it?

Come on, it is well visible, just look carefully at specimen No 1.

BTW, amber stones with the content are called inclusions.

Yes, one of these! Which one?

Yes, it is fekking big and that`s why the Museum of Amber in Gdańsk spent a lot of money on it! :):

Some re built church in Warsaw?

Not to sound disrespectful, but,wow, that 1970s Christian deco really,really sucks.

Ha, ha! I know what it is, but I'll keep quiet for now.

That's an understatement ;) And no, it's not Warsaw. Pawian has recently visited the seaside.

Phew,not making it entirely up then.....would it be the same one that has a bit of Golaith Track built into the wall? Or am I just mixing up loads of different buildings in Warsaw??? :)

:):):):):) Who says such things?

Jim davidson on an LP I owned before I knew any better.....72,72.......

BTW, do you remember the Madonna video for Like a Prayer?
With the Black Jesus? Was that frowned upon in Poland like in some *western * countries or accepted as quite normall? After all, Black mother Mary,Black baby jesus,no brainer grown up jesus is not going to be a Blonde :)

Yes, the archcathedral in Warsaw. They display God`s Mother from Częstochowa painting in the main altar.

PS. Not Goliath but another vehicle with much more powerful explosive. Its name starts with B.

That's a mere red herring. The church in Hel was a much closer shot ;)

Hmm, we were twice in Hel and I don`t remember visiting any churches there. My bad!

OK, reveal the secret of the photo.

OK, reveal the secret of the photo.

St. Brygida church in Gdańsk, the parish of the late Prelate Henryk Jankowski, a Solidarity chaplain, businessman and wine conoisseur, who intended to build a new main altar made of 2,5 tons of amber.

The copy of Our Lady from Częstochowa and the eagle are the only two elements which had been completed before Jankowski ran out of funds.

There are more decorations inside which could serve as prime examples of patriotic cheesiness. Anyway, I enjoyed it immensely ;)

I think it's a light on the pavement. I'm not sure but I seem to remember such lights near the Neptune fountain?

Ok, its a DOOR(s) of some type?
Not perception,that would be too literal ;)

There isn`t one in Gdańsk but you are on the right track.....

It isn`t the reflection. It is a real..............model.

(1950s/60s Ilushin?

Nope!

Or a B17G ?)

Close. It also had 4 engines.

Ok, its a DOOR(s) of some type?

Hey, come on! Are you tired? :):):) Of course not!

Please, concentrate and recall everything you know about planes!
