| St. Louis was one of the places I only visited briefly in the US. However, one day can be more than enough to get some thoughts, especially for a city zealot like myself. First post is from downtown, which struck me as empty, and full of parking lots. I climbed one of the multiple parking structures to find out that three out of four corners of an intersection are actually parking garages! Nevertheless, like most American downtowns, the scale of the streets suggests that there is potential for spacial revival there. A nice tram runs underground and connects some parts of the city (including Forest Park) to downtown and the near waterfront is already becoming a place to go for nightlife and culture. All coming up :) |

2013 / 2014
| A post to mark the meaningless celebration of New Year. The bottom picture is from central Warsaw and was taken in 2014. The buildings, including "Rotunda" are usually covered with large advertisements. The top picture is from 2013 (NYE) and depicts a scenery of Bemowo district, about 10 km North-West from the Center. I wish you all more pictures on this blog in 2014! |

on the road across the nation
| During my last trip to the US, I traveled across the country, on land, for the first time. These pictures were taken during the single longest trip, from Flagstaff, AZ to St. Louis, MO - 1362 miles. Pretty much all the travels within the US were made on the Greyhound buses, or similar (as portrayed the driver - who got lost around St. Louis airport, nearly missing a few passengers' flight.) A lot of ground we covered, thus a post "from the road". |
