GDYNIA by my eyes! (march 2011)

Hi guys!
Here is my photos from northern polish city Gdynia. You can read more about Gdynia here.
Please take a look!

Neat stuff. I love the ships, the broad public plazas, and the unique designs of some monuments and buildings.

It seems to be rather modern. Nice to see it!

I loved the waterfront with the museumboats when we visited Gdynia some years ago. Nice pier and Aquarium.
But to be honest, nearby Sopot and Gdansk were nicer.

Finally! My lovely modern city! :D

What are your impressions Boroda? I can see the weather and time of year wasn't the best. It's true - Gdynia is nicer in summer, than in winter.

In the first photo you was only about one street from my house! :) Too bad you don't catch me before via PM. Maybe later :D

Benonie - Gdynia is not only about museumboats and see piers :) Maybe you think that Sopot and Gdańsk was better than Gdynia, because you don't be here in the spring or summer time and you do not have much time to find out real side of the city. Gdynia has only 85 years, because it was built back in late twenties of the XIX-th century. For this reason this city don't have older buildings, but I don't find this as a bad thing. Inversely - this distinguishes city in comparison to other ones in Poland. It's pretty big advantage :)

I can tell you (as a 20-year inhabitant) that Gdynia has mainly 4 sides - Modernist (famous buildings and streets, also less known parts), Typically touristic (museumboats, squares, view points, beaches, yachts and green places), Rural (big, small village and other houses around different districts) and last but not least - industrial one (big port, shipyards and other).

So as you can see - you can not judge about any city before you understand whole sides of them :)

Because of this I will try to create a new thread about my city and show all of the sides of my hometown. This will happen as soon as possible - perhaps even before june? Who knows...

Expat - Yeah, it's freaky modern! :notacrook:

Boroda - Have you been at Kamienna Góra viewpoint (there's view of the big part of the city, Sea Towers [that big building] and Gdańska bay of course)?

Still very commie looking in these pics with the style of buildings along the street, imposing statues, lack of greenery and gray skies... not to mention that scary Ministry of Death tower looming over the town.

I'm sure it's a actually a nice place.

My impressions about Gdynia is nice generally. It's a very comfortable place for living and working there. For me was very interesting to visit this city, but I think not so much people as I'm - this city is not touristic. But maybe this is better :)
Generally, I've visited all the Truymiasto, and I can say the next thing: if I would live in Truymiasto - I'll prefer to live in Sopot, to work in Gdynia and to spend my free time in Gdansk :)

Don't care about weather ;) Weather was nice.

Sorry, my friend Tomek :) Before my trip to Poland I told you when I'll be there (in Gdynia), but was no answer from you. And during my trip I has no Internet connection, so was no chance to communicate with you. That's your fault also that we didn't meet ;)

20-year inhabitant? :) And where did you lived 20 years ago? Or you are 20 years old?

I think yes. I'm not sure about the name of this place, but I think I've been there. You will see this at my next photos from Gdynia.
