Not sure why the other photo riddle thread was closed,
Simple - it got too big and started damaging the forum`s algorithm. But it wasn`t moved to Archive, it is still visible in my thread list.
Where can these figures be found, what are they, and who was the designer/sculptor?
Without googling: I remember this sad but beautiful monument from Wrocław, located in a small park. The theme is Katyń Massacre. As for the sculptor, I had to google him - Tchórzewski.
sad but beautiful monument from Wrocław, located in a small park.
Yes, it is indeed beautiful, and haunting in its own way. Not easily forgotten. Points for both you and Philip. It is located in Juliusz Słowacki Park.
Angel of death
Yes, and the female figure is Katyń Pieta, matron of the homeland, holding one of the Katyń victims. It is indeed difficult to photograph, to get the monument in its entirety in the frame. I have a couple more pictures where I was stood behind the female figure with the Angel of Death in front, but they don't do the monument justice.
I can see I will need to be careful what I set as riddles now, Pawian knows all about Kraków, Warsaw and Zakopane, and you are the Wrocław expert! Nice to have someone else interested in this thread, please keep contributing!
make and model
I already want to shoot you!! It doesn't look to be any of the Fiat models. Can't quite make out what the badge on the grille says. Was it imported for the Polish market? This will take time I think............
Congrats!! I thought I'd looked at all the Fiat models, because they're pretty unmistakable, but I couldn't find one that had a grille on the front! Well done, keep contributing, it's nice to have more people on the thread :)
Not so easy , I had to check out all fortresses in Poland before I found out they are fortifications in Zamość. :)P) I forgot to add Zamość to my no-visit places in Poland.
Fallen leaves, elderly people, the gate design, the small building behind it, the asphalt path with street lamps and the trees suggest it is a local cemetery around 1st November. People are visiting it to clean the tombstones before the holiday. Or afterwards. But where, I have no idea.
In a place I have never visited? :):)): Lublin, Rzeszów, Zamość, Szczecin? :):) It must be Zamosc - you visited it in autumn.
suggest it is a local cemetery around 1st November
Very observant of you, I'm pretty sure it was October 31st. Lots of stalls selling flowers as is customary for that time of year. You haven't been there before and I'm afraid it isn't Zamość. I have visited other places in Autumn too :) I passed it and photographed the unusual looking gateway as I was on my way to visit another place alongside it. There has already been a riddle about this other place alongside it. Now I am sure you will get the answer.
I was never very good at this type of thing! The Polish eagle is there although it looks a bit different these days.Plus there's a black one too. The letters in the painting and to the right are puzzling, no idea what they stand for. There is a key at the bottom, key to the kingdom? I don't know. A bull, often associated with Poland, crossed swords and a castle with an open door. The crosses are another puzzle. I think I need help!
Correct. It is the cemetery right next to Majdanek.
where is the fighting scene inside from?
Is it The Battle of Grunwald? Some of those crosses and black eagle belong to Teutonic Knights, so are the symbols from both the Polish-Lithuanian army and Order of Teutonic Knights?
