Poznań Goes for the Record (9 pictures)

In addition to the Euro 2012 football (soccer) tournament that is partially taking place in Poznań, the city also decided to go for the world record in paper lantern launches tonight.  It rained pretty much all day and was massively overcast, so I forgot about it.  Luckily I glanced out my window at home tonight and saw the mass of lights in the sky and decided to grab my camera and try and take some pictures.

Fair warning, it was CROWDED and my camera is not exceptional in low light, especially hand-held, so please don't judge these too harshly.  (And yes, I did bring a tripod, there was no where to set it up, the crowds were just too thick).  :)

Don't forget that you can click on an image to see a larger version.  And don't forget to click the link below to see the rest of the pictures.

Enjoy!

These are the lanterns that were being launched.  There were red, white, green, and blue ones that I saw.

Franklin's 5th Anniversary in Poznań - A Double Rainbow of Fun (13 pictures)

Today was the annual summer party that the Franklin Poznań site holds for employee's and their families.  It was also the chance to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of Franklin in Poznań,  It was such a nice day, it was a double rainbow of fun.  :)

 The weather was mostly nice for the party.  We had 2 sets of rain clouds move through, and this picture was taken from the dock of Malta lake just as the 1st set of rain clouds was about half way over.
