Waiting for a real winter.     posted on 25th of january, 2012

This year winter in Gdansk, Poland is light and heat. I do not like this aura. Everywhere mud and gray. People sneeze sneak in a hurry. Almost no one is walking. It is hard for a good subject to photograph the urban landscape.

I am looking out the winter such as in 2010.











People walked along the river Motlawa.
Frost squeezed so hard that you could walk on the frozen canal. Directly in front of famous Gdansk Crane.
Such a winter like this in 2010 I love. Despite the cold, the topics on the photographs themselves are pushing against the photographer's eyes.
only a few people like that woman below, watched for the coming spring.





















Only birds do not enjoy this winter, you need to help them survive, Swans fatten them, because for decades do not fly away for the winter from Polish to warm countries.

I agree! Enough of this rain and ice! Here in skiing country in New Hampshire, USA we have bare ground showing through a thin cover of ice and snow. Last year we were buried. - posted by Peanutroaster on January 26, 2012
Today in Gdansk also snowing. I like it. I really like to walk in these conditions with my camera;)

Best regards Romania and Krakow :)

Photos above are from 2010, then winter in Gdansk lasted very long and the temperature dropped to -20 degrees Celsius.

Latvia is a beautiful country, I was in Riga in 2008.

Best regards to Mexico. :)

Weather has changed too much, In Mexico we are suffering the worst drought in the last 72 years. I had the opportunitty to travel to Los Angeles and Big Bear for New Years Eve, and it was terrible, Los Angeles was hot and in Big Bear they usually have 50 cms of snow, this year they only had 3 to 5 cms. - posted by Egomezta on January 25, 2012

>My first pictures I made in the 80s of the twentieth century by my Canon AE1. When this Canon had gone then my interest in photography had gone away also. I returned make photo in 2003. I was self-taught until recently. Currently I am attending the Studium Fotografii Artystycznej Stefana Figlarowicza w Gdańsku (College Art Photography by Stefan Figlarowicz in Gdansk).
What can I say more about myself? I love photography, photography is a very important place in my life. I like to catch these (important) moments, places, and shut them in the frame, remember my emotions and thoughts in this way.
