Warsaw in Black and White

Always I've got a special thing for everything that is related with World War II so when I got the phone call that I most go to Warsaw - Poland, the first thought was Warsaw Ghetto.

Warsaw is the capital and one of the biggest city of Poland and despite this the traffic was quite smooth at a rush hour. In general the traffic in Poland and most on the high ways is really smooth, it's the only country where you have the speed limit 140 km/h ( we don't talk about Germany with the no limit sign )


Once I find a park place in the center, I grab the camera and start my walk trough Warsaw

The imposing Palace of Culture and Science build in 1955 with a socialist realism architectural style is the tallest building in Poland measuring 237 m.

The Warsaw Ghettos was the largest Jewish ghettos in the time of German-occupied Europe during World War II. Here were over 400,000 Jews imprisoned at an area of 3.4 km2

Always I like to capture people in they're natural way, doing they're things, without knowledge about me stolen that moment

As a conclusion, Warsaw is a city with a huge photographic potential where you can still feel the finger print of the communism. Is a city where I would come back with pleasure and with a diversity of camera lenses :)

Great photos! If you had not told us, I would have thought that some of the shots were from the WWII era. There was an eerie draw. Thanks for sharing.
