First up are a couple of posts from my trip to Wrocław (that's sort of "vrots-wav" to my non-Polish-speaking readers from my non-Polish-speaking self) with my friends Paweł and Iga Macko, to see our friend Kryz Ptak who moved there after he left Franklin.
Wrocław was a very neat city that I liked a lot. But I'll start off first with the Dwarves of Wrocław. Or Krasnale, as I believe they called in Polish. There are around 250 of them in the city, mostly in near the city center, and each one is unique. Not just every emplacement, but every dwarf throughout the city is unique.
There aren't prominent signs or anything pointing them out. They are just present. Sometimes just on the sidewalk near a building, statue, or fountain. Sometimes on a ledge outside a shop. So you have to keep an eye out for them.
Their placement is strictly controlled by city hall and you have to petition to have one placed. What's cool is that all of them have been created and placed just since 2009.
Anyway, the rest of this post is just pictures of the dwarves. The next post on Wrocław will show pictures of the rest of the city and a bit about what we did.
Have a great day!
The three below are outside the town hall and were placed as part of disabled persons awareness or something similar. One is in a wheelchair. Another is blind. And the last is deaf.
WBK is one of (if not the) largest banks in Poland. Apparently they serve dwarves too.
This one was outside the ice cream shop we stopped at before leaving. It was hot both days and some ice cream hit the spot.
There is even a dwarf from the trash collectors. How cool is that?
These last couple are from outside the casino, if you couldn't guess. :)
