Howdy Olgierd,

Attractive Szchecin scene, especially the impressive windjammer appearing much older than 1982, and enhanced by the numerous flag banners. Then the other sailing vessel, and the classical early 20th century buildings in the background.
I would enjoy sailing on either vessel, and strolling the city.

Thanks for sharing,
Cheers,
Ray

Kia ora Olgierd (greetings from New Zealand),
There is always something romantic about square-riggers, even when they do not have their sails up. Nicely composed shot near the Provincial Building. Cheers, Neil
