Dzwony elektroniczne- nowa odsłona Apelu Jasnogórskiego w farze rozwadowskiej
Kadr ustawiłem na nowe (szklane!) tarcze zegarowe kościoła Matki Bożej Szkaplerznej, które na podstawie starej, rozbitej wykonała warszawska firma Witraże S.C. Od pewnego czasu mają też zamontowaną iluminację, natomiast stary pozostał mechanizm zegarowy z roku 1932. Zmianie uległ również sposób wygrywania melodii Apelu, gdyż obecnie cykl jest trzykrotnie powtarzany, a początek nie jest ucięty. To zainspirowało mnie do nagrania drobnej aktualizacji.
The view is concerned on new (glass!) clockfaces from Parish Church in Rozwadów, which were manufactured by Witraże S.C. in Warsaw based on old clockface, broken into pieces. Some time ago they are iluminated in night time. The unchanged thing is old clock mechanism made in 1932. I've decided to make this recording because it has also changed the scheme of melody that is played at 9 pm by so caled digital bells. Now it repeats 3 times and the beginning isn't cut.
Poznan - Poland
Once upon a time, in the little town of Poznan, there were two goats...
In 1536, the Town Hall was destroyed by a fire. It was a huge loss for the city. In 1551 Bartholomew Wolff made a clock, which had a pair of figures striking the bell'. This was a very important decision for the city - only the richest cities could afford such an expense.
When the clock was ready, there was a great feast. Two deers on a spit were to be served for the main course. The careless helper fall asleep and burnt the roasting venison.
There were no deers available to replace the burnt meat, but the boy saw two white goats to replace the deers. These goats escaped and went up the stairs to the Town Hall tower and began to strike bell with their horns. The watchmaker was asked to replace two figures striking bell by two goats butting each other.
In memory of this event, at noon each day you can see two goats butt heads 12 times.
Warsaw In Your Pocket - Palace of Culture and Science (PKiN)
The marks of four decades of communism have yet to be completely erased from the face of Warsaw. Of these the most apparent is the Palace of Culture and Science, standing in the heart of the city. You couldnt miss this one if you tried. Soaring 231 metres into the sky the building remains the tallest in Poland, in spite of recent competition from its highrise neighbours.
Originally commissioned by Stalin as a gift from the Soviet people. Over 5,000 workers were ferried in from the Soviet states. Working around the clock, it took them just three years to complete the Palace.
Built using an estimated 40 million bricks and housing 3,288 rooms the Palaces purpose was to serve as not just party headquarters but also the peoples castle, with invitations to the annual New Years Eve Ball issued to the best workers in socialist Poland. Regardless of this the building became an object of hatred and a stain on the skyline, the palace was seen as no more than a symbol of Russian hegemony. Viewed from a distance apparently it can be spotted from 30km away the palace appears a faceless monolith. Viewed closely several intricate details appear in focus.
With the fall of communism the idea of dynamiting the palace was floated, though today it stands acknowledged as a protected building with the President of Warsaw listed in documentation as the official owner.
The viewing platform on the 30th floor is visited by approximately 1,500 people daily, and offers panoramic views of the city spinning below you.

Krasiczyn Castle Poland
The construction of the castle started in 1580, initiated by a local nobleman Stanislaw Siecienski of Siecin, who came to the area from Mazovia. Works lasted for 53 years, and the castle was not completed until 1633, by Marcin Krasicki, son of Stanisław and Voivode of Podolia, who in the meantime had changed his name. Originally, the castle was a fortified stronghold, protecting southern border of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. However, Marcin Krasicki, who was regarded as one of the most important promoter of arts in the country, turned the fortress into a sophisticated residence (palazzo in fortezza), under supervision of Italian architect, Galleazzo Appiani.[1] Also, he dubbed the complex Krasiczyn, after his last name. Later, a village of Krasiczyn grew near the castle, also bearing the same name. The Krasiczyn castle was built on the site of an older, wooden complex, called Sliwnica, which had probably been built in the 14th century.[2]
Despite numerous fires and wars across the centuries, the castle’s complex has been essentially unchanged since the early 17th century. Built as a square, with walls representing all four quarters of the globe, at the corners there are four oval-shaped towers: Divine (Boska), Papal (Papieska), Royal (Krolewska), and Noble (Szlachecka). These names reflected the eternal order of the world, with four grades of authority.[2] The rectangular, spacious court is surrounded to the east and north by living quarters, and to the south and west by walls, adorned with attics. In the middle of the western wall, there is a square-shaped tower of the clock (Zegarowa), added by Marcin Krasicki at the beginning of the 17th century. This tower serves as a main gate, with a wall bridge over the moat. Across the centuries, the castle attracted most famous personalities of Polish history. Among visitors, there were kings Sigismund III Vasa, Wladyslaw IV Vasa, John II Casimir Vasa, and Augustus II the Strong.[1] Sigismund III Vasa, of whom Marcin Krasicki was a loyal supporter, visited the castle thrice. For the first time, in 1608, together with wife Constance of Austria.

Reetz/Recz, Poland
Reetz was where Grandpa Hans Schalow's parents were living in 1939, according to a letter from Dorothea Schalow, daughter of grandpa's brother Karl Schalow. On my visit to Reetz/Recz on Dec. 11, 2012, the three o'clock bells started ringing--or more likely, a recording of bells was played over a loudspeaker. The church dates to the 14th c. and is called Church of St. Catherine.

WARSAW'S OLD TOWN
Warsaw's Old Town was established in the 13th century. Initially surrounded by an earthwork rampart, prior to 1339 it was fortified with brick city walls. The town originally grew up around the castle of the Dukes of Mazovia that later became the Royal Castle. The Market Square (Rynek Starego Miasta) was laid out sometime in the late 13th or early 14th century, along the main road linking the castle with the New Town to the north.
Until 1817 the Old Town's most notable feature was the Town Hall built before 1429. In 1701 the square was rebuilt by Tylman Gamerski, and in 1817 the Town Hall was demolished. Since the 19th century, the four sides of the Market Square have borne the names of four notable Poles who once lived on the respective sides: Ignacy Zakrzewski (south), Hugo Kołłątaj(west), Jan Dekert (north) and Franciszek Barss (east).
In 1918 the Royal Castle once again became the seat of Poland's highest authorities: the President of Poland and his chancellery. In the late 1930s, during the mayoralty of Stefan Starzyński, the municipal authorities began refurbishing the Old Town and restoring it to its former glory. The Barbican and the Old Town Market Place were partly restored.
After 1945, the Old Town was meticulously rebuilt. As many of the original bricks were reused as possible. The rubble was sifted for reusable decorative elements, which were reinserted into their original places. Bernardo Bellotto's 18th-century vedute, as well as pre-World-War II architecture students' drawings, were used as essential sources in the reconstruction effort.
Castle Square (plac Zamkowy) is a visitor's first view of the reconstructed Old Town, when approaching from the more modern center of Warsaw. It is an impressive sight, dominated by Zygmunt's Column, which towers above the beautiful Old Town houses. Enclosed between the Old Town and the Royal Castle, Castle Square is steeped in history. Here was the gateway leading into the city called the Kraków Gate (Brama Krakowska). It became to develop in the 14th century and continued to be a defensive area for the kings. The square was in its glory in the 17th century when Warsaw became to country capital. And it was here that in 1644 King Władysław IV erected the column to glorify his father Sigismund III Vasa, who is best known for moving the capital of Poland from Kraków to Warsaw.
Warsaw's Old Town has been placed on the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites as an outstanding example of a near total reconstruction of a span of history covering the 13th to the 20th century .
