A necklece

No, I wasn’t bored during that meeting in our office, I only couldn’t concentrate on the conversation. The woman who was our guest was wearing a necklace made of black, white and silver (plane and patterned) cubes. I tried to guess the scheme in which the cubes were arranged. The black one after one, two and three others? And which scheme with the others? Was those silver cubes treated as one kind regardless of being patterned or not? I almost guessed the scheme for a few times, but it have never been the proper scheme. Probably there was not at all and cubes were arranged accidentally… doesn’t matter. It is nice to have a moment of relax during your working day, isn’t it? Like with a small chapel in the picture above. I see it every day from a transparent lift shaft. It gives me a moment of being away of the cares of daily life.

industrial - Roman

The meeting was held in a new building of the organisation which was our host. It was a kind of aula… what a terrible place… it looked like a shop floor or storehouse in some horrible factory. Around us was a lot of concrete elements of the construction and air-conditioning. Such kind of industrial architecture is very similar to The Museum of Modern Art in Paris. I like it very much, but in this case it hasn’t its charm and beauty. Beauty is beauty after all… for example this Roman bridge in Cordoba. Very nice, isn’t it?

The Mesquta

I have already been in The Mesquta. I don’t remember a lot from that time. Only a forest of columns and my thoughts about the price we must pay for ours decisions. Now I would like to keep in my memory also an orange’s garden, pavements made of small stones completed in mosaics and a mascaron – a dog or maybe a devil on one of decorative bars in the Cathedral.

Watra

This is Watra. She is very smart and faithful dog. Most of her time she spends sitting on a part of stairs in front of the house of her master. She looks then like a lion on sculptured lion.

Równia

This time my stay in the Bieszczady Mountains was connected with my work. I was on a project workshop there. It was difficult for me to accept all obligation and responsibilities. All those views and smells of clean air I associate with freedom and rest. It was of course some nice things besides work. For example I could see again the orthodox church in Równia, which I consider as the most beautiful between wooden churches of this region.

a desk in Prowincja Café

There is an innovation in Prowincja Café. Of course apple cake and cappuccino are good as always. The same thing is with waiters – nice and friendly like Amelia in the movie about Amelia. Fortunately owners of the Café removed white tables from summer garden and exchanged them for old, antique school’s desks. People smile to each other seeing that. They like to seat there and have some coffee. I even observe a lady who explained to her young son, for what there was a hole in a table of the desk (a bottle of ink) and gutter (for a pen).

gobblin, gnome... ?

One day I went for a walk to the mountains to Dwernik Kamień. A path was leading via forest. It was hard way, all the time up and up. After two hours I was very tired. Suddenly I saw a forest gnome, or other kind of monster. It had a body of a tree and orange eyes. Before I get afraid, I said to myself that it couldn’t be real and it mast be a problem with my mind because of tiredness. But it was real – as you can see it was a tree with some signs made by foresters.

Ajzik

I went for a walk with my dog. Suddenly he groaned and started to limp. I was worried by that. My dog is old and he had two operations on his knees some years ago. I was expecting many complications. I was even afraid that this time he could not survive from it. I took him to home, gave him some goodies, I hugged him. He was a bit surprised at my tenderness but accepted it with a joy and didn’t care about his leg. In the evening he recovered.

it was a chair I think...

Newcastle 9 – 13 June 2008
This is a roof of a discotheque. Behind it there is a gallery, around a very nice square. I didn’t notice the chair at first time, but it seems to me the most interesting – I could see it only from my window.
