This town is a lonely town

Not the only town like-a this town

This town is a make-you town

Or a break-you-town and bring-you-down town

Czarnków is a town on the Noteć River, with a population of around 12,000. residents.

The first mentions of Czarnków 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 Czarnków.

Czarnków jest miastem nad rzeką Noteć, które liczy około 12 tys. mieszkańców.

Pierwsze wzmianki o Czarnkowie pochodzą z XII wieku (kronika Galla Anonima), ale jest to prawdopodobnie pomyłka lub być może fałszerstwo. Sercem całego miasta był Rynek. Drewniana zabudowa była stopniowo zastępowana budynkami murowanymi. Obecny układ urbanistyczny miasta jest zabytkowym i wywodzi się ze średniowiecza. Zabudowa rynku wraz z Ratuszem wywodzi się z XIX i XX wieku a południową pierzeję stanowi Kościół pw. Św. Marii Magdaleny z XVI wieku (widoczny na zdjęciu). Na pierwszym planie rzeźba historycznej postaci, średniowiecznego kronikarza Jana z Czarnkowa.

Urban city

 

Tous les chemins vont vers la ville.

 

Du fond des brumes,

Là-bas, avec tous ses étages

Et ses grands escaliers et leurs voyages

Jusque au ciel, vers de plus hauts étages

 

Back To The Dirty Town

A lazy stroll along the narrow path on the cliff. Time to change my pace a little I guess.

Hit of the day: Girls Aloud - Swinging London Town

Unexpected shot as i drove through town and saw the light changing. A quick stop and then the sky lit up running around trying to find a good composition and then it was gone.

The Andes run in three ridges down through Peru. This town lay in the valley after the first pass from the coast. The difference in climate and vegetation within just a few hours, passing from desert to lush green, was amazing...

Shot at F11 or F16. The town of Dunstable (Bedfordshire, UK) does have a longer history, but in its street layout it is of medieval origin and grew around the large 12th century Augustinian monastery of which the Priory Church St. Peter is the main survivor. There is also the 15th century gateway leading into what were the grounds of the monastery (now a park).

The Funicular connects the Lower Town to the ancient Upper Town in Zagreb. Oh, and yes, I noticed the umbrella as well.

Taken a while back during a lazy walk down town. Have a great Tuesday...

Castle town Hagi was designed in the Edo Period. This is one of the three streets near the former castle site. It used to be samurai warriors' residential district. The streets are very narrow since it was not assumed that cars would run on them when the town was built. I liked the way the white earthen walls, faded wooden board siding with battens, and the tiled roof on top of the walls looked slightly leaning and bending to the front and rear. They even looked like swaying.
