It took a long time, but I finally was able to update this website and migrate posts from blogspot. After a year of slowly revising the design, I am pleased to start blogging at kipdeeds.com.
Beyond changes to the website, 2018 provided many new events. I got married, inherited a dog, and have been living in the countryside outside Warsaw, Poland. There has been little time for art making, traveling, or making blog posts. However, this past week a two day trip was taken to Bydgoszcz, Poland. Turoń is a nearby sister city (included as one of the Seven Wonders of Poland). Bydgoszcz is about a three and a half hours drive from Warsaw. While there I walked around old town and went to the Modern Art Gallery (focused on Polish artists in the modern era). I did not take pictures in the gallery and unfortunately the website does not seem to show much. However, I did take pictures on my walk. Included here are some samples.
Hotel Chopin looks interesting. The long vertical lines in various heights reminded me of organ pipes. I’m not sure he wrote anything for organ though.
The martyr sculpture is intense! Reformation-like.
The architecture is quite diverse. Good to see some community development.
Looking forward to your writing.
Thank you for the message. Many places in Poland are named after Chopin. He is perhaps the most famous Polish musician.
Excellent blog. Congrats on your marriage and travels.
Thank you Chad. I am glad you found your way to the blog!
Wow ….. great photos with nice descriptions. Thanks for sharing. It gives me a better feel of the essence of Poland.
Thank you for the message. I am glad the pictures gave you a sense of the place. Of course there is much more.
Howdy Kip, I MUST see more pics from the countryside of Warsaw. Missing you in Philly!!!
Thank you for the message. I miss Philadelphia also. I realize now how much I liked going to the museums there.
