Thursday Thoughts – Piotrkowska Street

Today Piotrkowska Street is the axis of Łódź. Here, in its proximity, almost all of the most important administrative offices, banks, shops, restaurants and pubs are situated. Most events (- like The Light Move Festival we came for -),  outdoor parties, marches and official celebrations, organized by the city of Łódź, are taking place – here:

Bicycles, bicycles…

The Light Move Festival Headquarters

The glassed café…

…and books, of course

Evening – athmospheric light

Nr 91 was our hotel

The Piotrkowska Street is also known as the ”Łódź Walk of Fame”.

Between Tuwima Street and Nawrot Street there is the Monument of Łódź Citizens of Millennium Change, which is a nominal surface covering the part of Piotrkowska Street. This is probably the only monument of this kind in the world, consisting of 13.454 nominal cobblestones.

Some of the very special things I noticed were:

Every little drinking water fountain had its girl or boy – or both – statue, together with a fish

Very few people were busy using their cell phones

Each day there was a wedding photographing going on…

The rickshaws are colourful and frequently used

We had fantastic weather!

Most of the shop windows had at least one manmade doll in it. In Riga we visited a puppet theatre – the Polish people are very much into art

Miś Uszatek!

This is the popular Teddy Floppy-ear, a Polish character from the stop motion-animated TV series of the same name.Whenever we passed by (and that was often…) he had admirers around…

But,  it is getting late, so I say good night for now…See you in the alleyways of colour and art – maybe tomorrow?
