You can see on it what left after big gelatine factory based in north part of my home city, Puławy. Person in center is my fellow, krystian maj.
An idea of gelatine factory was born in polish engineers' heads before Second World World. Buildings were finished after war in 1952. Next to ZA Puławy, gelatine factory was one of the biggest industrial centers in Poland and one of the biggest in the world in its category at 1970s.
Unfortunately transformation of polish political system was too much for it. In late 1990s factory has been shut down... in first 10 years local vandals wrecked it, after that heavy machines made place for new hipermarket.
Another wrecked and forgotten place in north part of Puławy. About 1 mile to the north, just beetween gelatine factory and ZA Puławy is this old dairy factory, two skeletons of buildings.
Picx made in way back from Gdansk. Terrible trip, about 8 hours of train ride with 4 stops. WHY SO LONG? But at least it's pretty cheap (normal ticket cost 30pln (8 euros). The train line is called "Słoneczny".
Gdansk Shipyard, home of Solidarity, Lech Walesa. Place where new Poland was born, and Polish People's Republic has its end. Impressive place, unfortunately now it looks like totaly wrecked abandoned industrial place but still impressive. But factories, workshops and MASSIVE SHIPYARD CRANES! LOVE THEM.
Gdansk is nice place, one of the biggest seaside cities in Poland. Public transport is ok, beaches are ok. Prices are lower than those in Warsaw. It's not 100% summer holiday place but as a historical matter is 'must see' type of place.
