<br />
I went for a very long bike ride.<br />
<br />
I was exhausted and had too many photos to take care of all at once.<br />
<br />
Then, many other things happened. I got a job, I lost a job, I got sick, I got better. And last week I decided that I wasn't having fun with project 365 anymore. So, I gave it up. Four years and three quarters is quite enough!<br />
<br />
I still take a lot of pictures, but I don't take them every day anymore. That's all that changed.<br />
<br />
The bigger news is that I've started a hobby blog which I hope will turn into a professional portal some day. It's called Poland is Awesome:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
It will contain all my stories and photos from my travels around the country, written with extra attention to detail and interesting facts and anecdotes. If you enjoyed learning a little bit about my country while you were reading this blog, then you should like Poland is Awesome. It's a light, fluffy blog, aimed at foreigners, in particular Western ones, who may be completely unaware of just how many awesome things one can see and do in Poland.<br />
<br />
So, come and visit! Subscribe! Read! Comment! Ask questions! Learn crazy Polish words and idioms!<br />

Well, only for a fortnight and half... but I sure feel bad. They're so cuddly. (and yes, if you're wondering, that cardboard box has been eaten. By both of them. Steadily, meticulously, they tear away at it.)<br />
<br />
<br />
I will be camping, but I promise to make good use of that lovely android smartphone I have now. Keep an eye out on <a href="http://www.twitter.com/magicmadzik">my twitter</a>.<br />

So, thanks to the power of Facebook, I know what parties are happening in town even though I never go and don't have many friends. I don't like parties. But I LOVE photo opportunities.<br />
<br />
This gig was in someone's barn, with hay all over the place, that's why they called it a Village Party.</p><br />

Critical Mass for June! I don't go very often, but I just felt like it this month. And they rode right past my house, so I didn't even have to ride up to the meeting point. </p><br />

Today was Corpus Christi. I didn't go see any <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cefeida/sets/72157624073570837">processions</a> this year. The city was really quiet when I went for a walk- it's a holiday, everything is closed, and since it falls on a thursday, a lot of people use the opportunity to take a long weekend.</p><br />

I had <a href="http://pilotpirx.com/">a friend</a> over. She bought spinach, then left without eating it. I detest spinach, but I also detest wasting food, so I camouflaged it in a tomato, pepper and garlic sauce.

The so-called 'Inner Tube' (Dętka) sewer runs in a circle under the Plac Wolności in Łódź, and was one of the first segments of the city's sewage system, built in 1926. It was designed by the british engineer William Heerlein Lindley (the younger Lindley) and the construction was supervised by local engineer Stefan Skrzywan. It's a large sewer, 187 cm tall and 1,5 m wide, and was used for water retention in the event that one of the connecting sewers needed purging. <br />

One of the many abandoned buildings in Łódź (though there is at least one occupied apartment in this one still). Why is it folded over like that? I don't know. Maybe just for the sake of having windows. <br />

We didn't see the moon at all, but the waffles were yummy. (in this photo: Kasia and Antek)<br />
We used my paternal grandmother Helena's (may she rest in peace) famous waffle iron, a German-made relic from my childhood and unbeatable versus the weakling low-watt teflon irons of today. :P<br />

Then we sat on the roof waiting for the eclipse, but we saw nothing. Clouds!!!<br />

Oh, and I got a haircut that morning. Haircuts, much like bike rides and waffles, also help against a bad mood. Quod erat illustrandum:<br />

<br />
There isn't a better remedy against a bad mood than a long and exciting bike ride. This time I decided to take a train South-East to Tomaszów Mazowiecki and tour the area, which is very picturesque with the Pilica river winding through it.<br />
<br />
The picture above is of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karst">karst</a> springs in Tomaszów, the so-called Blue Sources. The light didn't lend itself to making the blue show up in photos, but the sand at the bottom, pushed out by the spring geysers, gives an idea of the colour.<br />
<br />
There were also swans with their swanbabies!!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cefeida/5814045321/" title="Swan family by Magic Madzik, on Flickr"><img alt="Swan family" height="427" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3644/5814045321_f4336caaf4_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cefeida/5814047327/" title="Swanbabies! by Magic Madzik, on Flickr"><img alt="Swanbabies!" height="427" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5114/5814047327_bbe5c87149_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
This was actually my last stop on the tour, right after the Pilica River Open Air Museum, where, among old millstones and river barges I saw these:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cefeida/5814023949/" title="T-34/85 and SdKfz 8/DB 10 by Magic Madzik, on Flickr"><img alt="T-34/85 and SdKfz 8/DB 10" height="427" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2430/5814023949_1dc7d44f78_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
On the left, the T-34/85, supposedly the best of its kind in WW2 warfare. On the right, a rare prototype vehicle from the Luftwaffe, recovered from the bottom of the Pilica where it sank in 1945. It's the only one in existence, and it still works! The museum plans to give rides in it at some point. <br />
<br />
They also had an old train station:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cefeida/5814018591/" title="Pilica River open air museum by Magic Madzik, on Flickr"><img alt="Pilica River open air museum" height="427" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3126/5814018591_f35ff21816_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
and a model of a floating mill:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cefeida/5814593708/" title="Model of a river mill by Magic Madzik, on Flickr"><img alt="Model of a river mill" height="427" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2171/5814593708_177298e612_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
The part of my trip that was supposed to be the most exciting turned out to be a bust- although a bust with a promise. The 14th century castle ruins in Inowłódz are no longer ruins- they are being reconstructed!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cefeida/5813280456/" title="A castle appears! by Magic Madzik, on Flickr"><img alt="A castle appears!" height="640" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5026/5813280456_6ca1c90f37_z.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><br />
Which also meant that I couldn't walk onto the site and visit it. So, I took a walk around the little town and saw, instead, the church of St Idzi:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cefeida/5814502434/" title="Church of St. Idzi by Magic Madzik, on Flickr"><img alt="Church of St. Idzi" height="640" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2159/5814502434_25ac72c95e_z.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><br />
Or St. Gilles, if you will.Said to be built in 1086 by Prince of Poland Władysław Herman in gratitude for the conception of his son, Bolesław Wrymouth, but other sources say it is more likely to have been funded by Bolesław himself, around 1138. A statue of said father and son stands nearby:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cefeida/5813938763/" title="Władysław Herman and his son Bolesław Krzywousty by Magic Madzik, on Flickr"><img alt="Władysław Herman and his son Bolesław Krzywousty" height="640" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5221/5813938763_77637fa38b_z.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><br />
Done with that, I went to seek out traces of the Jewish community in Inowłódz. Before the war they made up a third of the locals...before the war. Four hundred people, all gone. <br />
<br />
This is a horrifying reality I keep encountering while touring my country- mere traces of a people who were once very much at home here. We all know about it, but...<br />
<br />
Well. A curious memento of Jewish presence is an early 19th century synagogue:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cefeida/5814518898/" title="The old synagogue by Magic Madzik, on Flickr"><img alt="The old synagogue" height="640" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2726/5814518898_56b78e37be_z.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><br />
It was badly damaged during the war, and used as a storage facility until its renovation in the early 80's. From then on, it was a library, and finally it was sold to a private owner who turned it into a store. <br />
<br />
Yes, a grocery store.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cefeida/5813943787/" title="The shop that was once a synagogue by Magic Madzik, on Flickr"><img alt="The shop that was once a synagogue" height="640" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2357/5813943787_903f805673_z.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><br />
The polychrome inscriptions are the only thing remaining from the original decor, and they are unique in being prayers for the Russian Tsar (the building dates back to times when Poland was partitioned and this area belonged to Russia). The southern wall has an inscription in Hebrew, the northern wall in Russian. The names of new tsars were painted over the old ones upon succession.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cefeida/5814509924/" title="The shop that was once a synagogue by Magic Madzik, on Flickr"><img alt="The shop that was once a synagogue" height="427" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2021/5814509924_f94f6c05c5_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
I asked the owner about the controversy of keeping shop in an old prayer-house. He claims to have spoken to authorities of the Jewish community in Poland about it, and that they do not consider it a holy place anymore since the Torah scrolls were removed from the building long ago. However, the synagogue is on the list of national artefacts and so the building and inscriptions must be preserved.<br />
<br />
With a little help from the local librarian, I found my way through the forest and terrains belonging largely to a chalcedonite mine to another sign of Jewish presence in Inowłódz: the cemetery.<br />
<br />

Built in 1820, it is now abandoned and difficult to locate in the forest- you have to do some mild trespassing. Most of it was destroyed by the Germans in WW2. <br />
<br />

After the cemetery I took a shortcut (which, proverbially, made for a long delay) through the forest to the amazing bunker in Konewka:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cefeida/5814006923/" title="Anlage Mitte by Magic Madzik, on Flickr"><img alt="Anlage Mitte" height="427" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/5814006923_ca19faeb82_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
The Anlage Mitte, another memory of the war, was built as an operative HQ for the Nazis. It was never used as such, but it's impressive nevertheless. The railway bunker is 380 metres long, and was meant to house two of Hitler's personal trains.<br />
<br />

I suffered from a lack of tripod, but plan to come back again. The tour is kind of crazy, it leads down a ladder into the service duct, which besides being creepy, is dank, dark and dirty: <br />
<br />

All in all it was a very nice ride, and I want to do it again- in better weather, light, and perhaps with some company...<br />
<br />
On the map, as usual, the planned route is in red, the actual ride in blue:<br />

On International Neighbour's Day, Antek, who is not really my neighbour, called and said 'wanna come up to the roof?' <br />
<br />
I did.<br />

That is what used to be here, according to the sign. The writing down the side says cheese, eggs, butter, bread. I don't know how old this is but the grammar makes it seem dated.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08286920677577162038noreply@blogger.com0
