Sites with interesting photos of Poland

The best photos can be found on Skyscrapercity.

E.g.,

City of Toruń is here: skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1306351&page=12

There are some sites when one can virtually visit many places in Poland.

I dare to disagree. I hardly ever use them.


Warszawa, climactic photos by a Warsaw lover here with appealing commentary to each shot: skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=270745&page=217

One can learn how to take photos in the city.

Pawian, do you know of a good site that offers historic photos of rural towns and villages pre WW2 by any chance?

Now I can`t sayn any addresses but I can search for them if you want. Or you have already tried and got your results, so I probably won`t find anything new.

I found a few here and there, but not a large collection of photos pre-dating WW2 (I was hoping for a digital collection of a Polish state archive or something similar). I usually frequent the web sites of historic postcard dealers, but the image quality there is rather low for obvious reasons.

Thanks anyway!

In the Internet there are photos in colour of Warsaw just after the war taken by American architect Henry N.Cobb.

It turns out that Cracow has its refotografie site too: dawnotemuwkrakowie.pl. Enjoy, pawian! :)


one can see some of them

Thanks for the links; very interesting. Pity that most of my (genealogical) research is within the Poznań -> Tuchola -> Plock triangle.

Thank you!

???? I thought you were after this


Do you consider Poznań a rural town or village????

Yes I am, but Zetigrek put some time and effort into the search for pictures, so naturally I thanked her. Good manners and all that, you know ... ;)

The first source about Poznań was quite interesting, by the way. Lots of photos from the pre-war era I haven't seen before. I'm still searching for images of rural towns and villages in the Poznań -> Tuchola -> Plock triangle though.

Lovely pictures but read again the title of the thread: it isn`t about lovely sites in Poland in general but sites in the sense ofwebsites on the Internetwith interesting photos.

Thanks, Iron.

Mountains as seen from valleys in the night in Poland

Please, can someone show me a website with Polish photos of mountains in the night as seen from valleys or valley towns (where you can see lights from mountain/hilly towns/villages)?

Is there such area in Poland? I'm not sure you can see the hills from Rzeszow at night but maybe Krosno? In English I only found night photos set in hilly towns/villages themselves overlooking the higher hills or the valleys bellow.

Like this?

Thanks, that's very close to what I'm looking for. However my idea is for a night photo. Is it possible to see the lights from a hilly village / hotel / town like Zakopane from some low valey or a village/town in said valley?

Sth like this (of course in a city the shots would most likely be from a higher floor):
image.shutterstock.com/image-photo/bratislava-slovakia-panoramic-view-kamzik-600w-692002150.jpg

I remember seeing those lights on the hill in Bratislava from my room at night.

I am afraid there are no special sites only for such photos - they are scattered over many sites.

You need to google on your own. Type this phrase with the name of the place at the end: e.g., światła miasta z góry w nocy Zakopane
