Warsaw, July 2, 2005

Our stopover in Warsaw on the way from Duszniki to Maćkowa Ruda lasted barely two days. Plac Zamkowy, Warsaw, July 2, 2005.


For Fredek, Janusz and me, I think it was our first get-together in Poland since 1970, when the two of them were in first year painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw.


Our reunion coincided with the celebration of the marriage of another friend, Wiesław Rosocha, who also studied at the Academy.


The wedding reception took place at the Green Gallery in the Old Town, where there happened to be an exhibit of Wiesio's series of drawings on the Ten Commandments, entitled Dekalog. That's Wiesław holding his depiction of the injunction against adultery.

Like so many times before, we ended up at Fredek's on Nowy Świat. Remarkably little had changed since the old days, as you can see from the following picture.
