Possibly the last round of wild mushrooms, collected from outside Wrocław. 

 
Mushroom collecting is national past time during the warmer months, and for a while everyone was fond of complaining it'd been a really bad year. But a few warmish, damp weeks and above freezing nights, and it's ended with a bang. 

 
  I stupidly left my wallet at home, otherwise I would've bought some. Katastrofa!

Gnome with a key to the city. :) He looks particularly mirthful. Maybe he's been imbibing with the piwo river gnome.

The afformentioned contender's for the ugliest apartment blocks in Poland award. This is from the top of the cathedral in Ostrow Tumski, the old part of Wroclaw.


And in the other direction; much more pleasing! The elegant looking manor house on the left by the river is the residence of the bishop of Wroclaw; not bad work if you can get it. The large phallic structure in the haze in the distance to the left is near where the rynek (main square) is. You can actually go up that building too, but it was closed that day for some reason. And the light blue bridge you can see is the padlock bridge where lovers attach padlock's with their name's on them.
