Silent city.
.
I just came back from a short visit to my family in my home town, central Poland. Every time I go there, it feels stranger and stranger.
Ostrowiec is a small town, under 100 000 population, and it’s getting stagnat, as all the young people are leaving or left already for the big dynamic cities a couple hours away.

The silence is overwhelming. A stark contrast to my daily routing in London (obviously), I found it refeshing but also strangely difficult to deal with.

.
The feeling of space and scale is completely different than in London, even if tower blocks or houses look surprisingly similar.

.
A very surreal feeling, looking at places I remeber from my childhood, seeing them change so much. Getting older I guess.

The last image is a shot from the car window on my way out. I felt it’s bittersweet clash sums up the whole set rather nicely.
