Uploaded by: dinnmsu — Sunday July 15, 2012 — Gdansk, Poland

of some part of the inner city of Danzig (Gdansk in present day northern Poland). The city still shows many wounds of WWII. Hard to believe that there are so many ruins left(not fixed, not taken down, not set up as memorials, just left to be...ruins) almost 70 years after the fact, i.e. the end of WWII in Europe (May 8, 1945)

a gentle nod at the photographer, lest we forget what mankind is capable of. 75 yrs. is a drop in the bucket of time. Thank you for this poignant reminder in this AC worthy photo. Congratulations, a 10 from me. Thank you for sharing on WUG it's much appreciated.

And with independence gained in late 1990 it's even less time. At least it is still there as a reminder, a reminder of many different things to many people.
Great photo of weather and time!

About dinnmsu
dinnmsu Instead of settling down in Europe I have now moved on to far eastern Asia, where it looks as if I'll stay for a while. Quite a change, a big adjustment from quiet country living to life in the mega city that is Seoul, South Korea.
