- - Warsaw (https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=203598)

it's like vienna and moscow had a badass baby.

That's some nice stuff there.

These photos serve as a sad reminder of what was once a city considered the Paris of the north before being bombed to smithereens to WWII.

Excellent photos, Lsyd.

Definitely looks likes its still a work in process.

Battle-hardened. However, Poland has some of the most ambitious renovation/revitalization/renewal projects and schemes on the continent right now, so I have high hopes for Warszawa in the future. I need to take that Berlin-Warsaw train...it's only 6 hours.

Nice pictures, LSyd! Thanks for sharing.

I like the new buildings being built in Warsaw, and the classic ones too, of course. Pretty capital.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain!:tup:

It still has lots of interesting buildings.
Thanks for posting.

Awesome pics. I am disappointed that I didn't go to Warsaw on my trip to Poland a couple years ago. One day...

Brute strength. I can definitely see the resemblance of Moscow in it.

yeah. when i met up with my co-workers we were greeted with the welcome that "Poland is still under reconstruction." but the construction energy was good to experience. :cheers:

Nice to see some old & newer gems among the commie blocks and drabness of the eastern block. That said, I did enjoy the tour. I was wondering if it's just me or is the countryside not too far from the central city. Appears that way in the aerial pics. Thanks for the tour L.

I saw no ponies in this thread. But the city looks like alot of fun to explore.

What an austere looking Marriott.

What an amazing photo thread LSD. Your eye is amazing. I got to get to Warsaw!

thanks for the comments

it's not too far out; it was maybe a 20-25 minute drive (with decent traffic) from the palace of culture and science going southwest. i was kind of surprised by the sprawl on the edges, it kind of reminded me of iraqi sprawl, but in a good way. maybe i'll put those pics up.

Great stuff - don't think I've seen aerials of Warsaw before.

Love the night shots in 44-6
