DepressedOne: I hope that you got some more photos to show us ;)
Ok, more photos to cheer you up and fight your depression.
pawian: Sunday was a busy day. In the morning, we went one-horse open sleighing, dashing through the snow.
Next, we went to Gubałówka Mount:
Gubałówka is a mountain above the Polish town of Zakopane. The mountain is a popular tourist attraction, offering commanding views of the Tatras across the valley below. .
When I was a child, the cable cars were old and slow so the ride lasted about 10 minutes. Now they go fast, too fast to fully enjoy it.
Climactic view
I still have a photo of me next to that big polar bear and his dog.
In case you get lost in the mountains
Ladies go first - that is the Polish gentlemanry.
Polish, English and Russian - main languages spoken in Zakopane. They should also add Hungarian.
Jupeeee!
As a child, we used to spend a week or two in that cabin in winter holidays.
Bad boys! Climbing a roof of a house? Lucky it wasn`t guarded by a dog.
The main pathway is occupied by stall on both sides. Fekking commerce!
Traditional axes from Zakopane
and other stuff from Zakopane and mountainous regions of China
Today I regret I didn`t buy me that purple furry hat. It would suit my colour of hair.
I don`t regret I didn`t buy me a piece of Highlandish jewellery.
I am fond of such architecture - half stone, half wooden.
Watch out for speeding sleighs! Someone should fine those fast and furious racers!
Originally a small wooden chapel was built in 1960s as a private enterprise of Bachleda Księdzulorz family. Because communist authorities wanted to knock it down, for some period it was removed and hidden in the family`s house. Despite repressions and heavy fines, the chapel survived and came back to the original site. It was rebuilt in its today`s shape in 1981.
The tree under which two young female tourists died during a thunderstorm in 1960s. There was a plaque too but it was stolen last year.
Highlanders in traditional outfits or not:
A Polish couple started dancing next to a disco polo music stall. Foreign tourists who saw it were flabbergasted. Why? They didn`t like the music? Or the fact that the young lady was smoking?
