[Leica] IMG: Kraków

Nathan,

Fascinating. I found the parts of Nowa Huta you showed surprisingly 
attractive, particularly as I recall (dimly) communist-era tomes 
extolling its industrial capacity and showing huge chimneys belching 
(presumably lignite-ridden) fumes into the air.

We could have a long discussion about these, which I don't think the 
majority would be much interested in.

Thanks very much for showing them,

Peter
