Poland - Wroclaw - Dwarves 01_panorama_DSC1597

And now for something a bit different......

 

A shot of the famous Wroclaw Dwarves. Over 300 of these diminuitive statues can be found around the city, some in the most unlikely of places. Despite the false perspective of this shot created by it's ground level viewpoint they're no more than about 8 or 9 inches tall.

From Wikipedia : "Wrocław’s dwarfs (Polish: krasnale, krasnoludki) are small figurines that first appeared in the streets of Wrocław, Poland, in 2005. Since then, their numbers have been continually growing, and today they are considered a tourist attraction: those who would like to combine sight-seeing in Wrocław with dwarf-tracking are offered special brochures with a map and mobile application software for smartphones. As of 2014, there are over 300 dwarfs spread all over the city. Six of them are located outside the city at the LG plant in Biskupice Podgórne."
