Poland in photo riddles - part 2

@Chemikiem, I don't know, I somehow remember it as being salty - maybe it was simply that intense taste...

@johnny_reb, have you ever tried shark's meat?


OMG, did you eat a dolphin??


Yikes... I didn't know that... It's good that I've tried it only once then...

whark meat is the best meat for fish or really any met. ive eaten it like five times.monly in the us tho i dont think they have it in poland.

Yes, and I didn't care for it as it stunk and was tuff.


Of course, what do you think mahi mahi is.


Google it and you will be shocked to just how smart I am. lol

But it's a fish from the Coryphaenidae family, not a dolphin (which is a mammal), it's only called dolphinfish... You didn't eat a real dolphin, right?

I've gotta say that mahi-mahi fish looks cool though - I've never heard of it or seen it before...


Well, I'm not going to eat it again, that's for sure lol

Good girl.
Now let's get back on topic by giving us a new riddle.

What is it and where?

• 
  
  

To easy, it's located in Plock.
Now go to your bed.

No, it isn't.

Basilica Licheń Stary

Wow, that was fast! :D You're correct, dolno!

Sorry . I will leave things for a while in future to give others a chance, I will pm you instead.

Really dolno, I got up extra early to solve that one and you had it before I was even out of bed.
My day is ruined unless the girls get another riddle up before lunch time.

365 windows, 52 doors, 33 steps 7 altars in the building and 666 types of plastic souvenire on sale outside.

It's the biggest church in Poland apparently, with the biggest bell ;)


lol I haven't seen any when I was there, but generally the building is somewhat "plastic-fantastic". It isn't historic, it was built in the 1990's.


Don't worry about it, it's supposed to be fun :)) Maybe I'll try to make more difficult riddles from time to time, so you would have some challenge too ;)

Perhaps this one is going to be a bit more difficult, let's see...

What is it made of, where was it made and how old it could be?
More advanced level - what is it called, who designed it and the date of the design (which year):

Is it from Ćmielów?

@jon357, yes, Ćmielów! :)

The only name I can think of from there is Naruszewicz, however I think there were others.

Wasn't he working from the 50s onwards? Some really beautiful stuff.

All I've got from Ćmielów is some mugs. The really nice stuff there is expensive.

@jon357, yes, Naruszewicz! Well done! :D And yes - the 1950's, so the figurine is decades old.

What about the rest of the more advanced level of the riddle? Anyone knows?

wow that's tough , me thinking bohemian pottery like royal deux.

Totally wrong ah well

Siedzący kot made by Fabryka Porcelany AS Ćmielów in 1956.

@Chemikiem, yes, exactly! :))) There was also a question what it's made of, but I guess it's pretty obvious by now that it's porcelain...

So, jon357 rocked it and Chemikiem finished it! :D

Well, to be more precise that figurine is the original so the name should be "Kot siedzący":

From what I can see the new versions made in Ćmielów factory these days are called "Siedzący kot":

as.cmielow.com.pl/pl/koty/781-siedzacy-kot-kolory.html

To be honest, I think I prefer the original version, it looks more elegant to me...

OK, architecture again :) - where is it?

• 
  
  

Somewhere VERY well known. There are a couple of posters here who live there ;-)

Looks like jon357 knows already... lol I knew I should've cropped that photo more ;D So you're giving others a chance? ;)

i live there on piekarska street piekarska 4 to be exact. im always in that cafe in the sidebar with the mermaid on top with my ipad.

Two in a row is too much. It sort of kills it.

It's a lovely place. Last time I was there, there was a streaker running nude exactly where the picture shows. He looked a bit crazy.

Um, nope...


OK, so let's see who'll guess it besides you :)


Haha... I was spared such views, maybe because it was winter when I took that photo and it was really cold lol

It even looks familiar to me, except the wires are throwing me off. I'll have to take a look through me photos and try and match it up.

A lot of cities in Poland look the same to me.

Is it Tarnobrzeg?

Krakow! I knew it looked familiar...
