I’m starting to see Mulled Wine (Gluehwein) everywhere here in Berlin now too. Always a good sign that Christmas is coming.
It also reminds me of Christmas :) It’s everywhere in Poland and I love it :-)
I like the Warsaw wildlife shots, haha! The squirrel is especially cute. By the way I believe that those birds are pigeons, not sparrows :P
They are pigeons, not sparrows hahah my mistake. They look like sparrows to me :-P. Warsaw has pretty interesting wildlife, huh? :)
Haha, sparrows :P
Also Gluehwein makes me think of Christmas – I am determined to go back to Deutschland for Christmas again in the future!
Warsaw looks beautiful! I’ve never been to Poland but it’s definitely on my list now- there are still so many countries for me even to see in Europe :)
I am thinking of spending Christmas in Berlin as well. I’m so tempted by Christmas markets and German mulled wine :) I want to explore so many European countries as well, but won’t manage to see much this time :-( We can go together one day :)
Looks beautiful…and freezing! :)
It’s freezing cold in comparison to Asian weather.
I really like that shot of the man in the green cape! I wonder what he’s contemplating… ;) Enjoy your time back in Europe!
He actually knew I was taking a photo of him, so that was his pose :). Thanks. I’m having a great time in Prague right now :)
That is one cute squirrel!!
It’s awesome, isn’t it? My favourite Warsaw shot :)
Great Pictures Agness!!
We loved Warsaw when we visited. Just wish we had more time to enjoy it!
Thanks Evan. I’m so glad you liked Warsaw. I spent there a fews days, not enough for me. There is so much to see there.
Beautiful collection of pictures, Agness! I admit I haven’t seen many Warsaw posts or pictures so this was a treat. I love how the Old Town looks. Very cute squirrel indeed!
Thanks Mary. I’m glad you like the photos. Warsaw is amazing. You should go there one day ;-)
Great photos! I love the one of the squirrel. I’ve heard great things about Poland. I’m Polish, so I must visit some day!
Hey Christy,
Thanks, Agness will be happy to hear you liked the photos. I also love the one with squirrel.
How long you’ve been away from Poland? Maybe next tie you come around we can meet (that’s if we too get there again at the time).
Enjoy your journeys,
Cez
Thanks Christy! It’s also my favorite shot ;) I was so excited at the moment of taking this photo – you have no idea how much!
Lovely photos Agness. I can’t wait to visit Warsaw and the rest of Poland.
Thanks Marisol! Let me know when you plan your trip to Warsaw I can give you some helpful advice :):)
