Wroclaw Public Folly

A neoclassical installation, falling into disrepair, in the heart of Wroclaw (pronounced Vratslav") In Poland. It was attached to a park, in what appeared to be a low income section of town., a few kilometers from the Rynek, or old market and very beautiful square. This type of abandoned, decaying park was not characteristic of Wroclaw, which boasts a stunningly beautiful university and town centre.

 

I was struck by the thought that it could have been a fighting arena for one of Captain Kirk's alien brawls. Just missing a large stiff looking reptile in a leopard skin walking erect and hissing "I hear you human"!
