CzarnkĆ³w is a town on the NoteÄ River, with a population of around 12,000. residents.
The first mentions of CzarnkĆ³w come from the 12th century (chronicle of Gallus Anonymus), but it is probably a mistake or perhaps a forgery. The heart of the whole city was the Market Square. Wooden buildings were gradually replaced with brick buildings. The present urban layout of the city is historic and dates back to the Middle Ages. The buildings of the market square with the Town Hall date back to the 19th and 20th centuries, and the southern frontage is the Church of St. Mary Magdalene from the 16th century (visible in the photo). In the foreground, there is a sculpture of a historical figure, the medieval chronicler Jan of CzarnkĆ³w.

CzarnkĆ³w jest miastem nad rzekÄ NoteÄ, ktĆ³re liczy okoÅo 12 tys. mieszkaÅcĆ³w.
Pierwsze wzmianki o Czarnkowie pochodzÄ z XII wieku (kronika Galla Anonima), ale jest to prawdopodobnie pomyÅka lub byÄ może faÅszerstwo. Sercem caÅego miasta byÅ Rynek. Drewniana zabudowa byÅa stopniowo zastÄpowana budynkami murowanymi. Obecny ukÅad urbanistyczny miasta jest zabytkowym i wywodzi siÄ ze Åredniowiecza. Zabudowa rynku wraz z Ratuszem wywodzi siÄ z XIX i XX wieku a poÅudniowÄ pierzejÄ stanowi KoÅciĆ³Å pw. Åw. Marii Magdaleny z XVI wieku (widoczny na zdjÄciu). Na pierwszym planie rzeÅŗba historycznej postaci, Åredniowiecznego kronikarza Jana z Czarnkowa.
Two wooden magnetic squares. Each square is 1.905 cm (3/4 inch)

Macro Mondays: "Green Yellow Squares"
A building in town. They turned an old mill into a shopping centre of sorts. Small scale but way cool.

KrzywiÅ is a small town in the province Greater Poland, with approximately 1,700 inhabitants. It was a private clergy town belonging to the Benedictine abbot in Lubin. The first preserved mention of KrzywiÅ as a town comes from 1272. In 1382, the city was destroyed during domestic fights, the reconstruction took place half a century later. In 1447, the location privilege was renewed. The center of the development was a Market Square with a town hall (the present one comes from 1905) in the south-eastern frontage. In the middle of the Market Square there is a statue of St. Wawrzyniec street and the frontages are built with houses from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
The market was revitalized in 2014 and is a major tourist attraction.

Another Staircase Shot of the Lenbach House in Munich.
For me the attracting Issues were the regularity of Lines, the Patterns and the Light Condition in the Staircase. Enjoy!
The Lenbachhaus in Munich contains an art museum and is part of Munich's "Kunstareal" (the "art area").
The city of Munich acquired the building in 1924 and opened a museum there in 1929. The Lenbachhaus was expanded between 1927 and 1929 by Hans GrƤssel and again between 1969 and 1972 by Heinrich Volbehr and Rudolf Thƶnessen. The latest wing was closed to the public in 2009 to allow the expansion and restoration of the Lenbachhaus by Norman Foster; the 1972 extension was demolished to make way for the new building. The museum reopened in May 2013. The architect placed the new main entrance on Museumsplatz in front of the Propylaea. The new facade, clad in metal tubes made of an alloy of copper and aluminum, will weather with time.
