I'm sorry, but you're not going to be able to convince me that solar or wind farms can be that beautiful.

#Pątnów #PowerPlant, seen through #Lake Gosławskie, #Konin.

A power plant seen over a lake. The main complex is a cuboid, over which six taller buildings are emerging to the left, and one that's much taller and wider to the right. On top of all these buildings there are power line pylons. There are four tall chimneys, with their tops painted in red-white stripes. From the rightmost one a white cloud of water vapor emerges. Around it more buildings — resembling silos, tall cuboids, halls, and more high voltage lines. To the left, a pipeline on supports crosses the lake. Further left, there's a forest on the other shore. The water's blue, slightly wavy. The sky is cloudless.

A panoramic shot of the pipeline crossing the lake, left to right. Its middle part is a truss-surrounded cuboid, inside which pipes are laid. Its supported on concrete blocks, over which truss supports emerge, in the shape of an isosceles triangle, with the base pointing upwards. The pipelines disappears into the distance, to the left of the power plant buildings. Behind it, a forest; to the right, the power plant.

Next part of tales from #Konin. In Fréderic Chopin Park there's a mini-zoo, and besides animals (and I consider them "above average" for a free entry mini-zoo) you can see some nice animal-themed murals there.

I'm truly surprised that I managed to identify the birds.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/233149771

A forest-themed mural. There is a bison in the middle and a deer to the left. To the right, a part of another similar animal is visible but the head and back is hidden behind trees growing in front of the building. The animals are painted in brown-gray. Behind them, there's bright green grass, green-black trees on green background. The ground is marked with smudges of cyan-green, the sky with brighter green. To the right, there's a purple geometric shape that's obscured by the trees as well — perhaps author's signature?

In the front of the building, the ground is brown with a few weeds. To the left, there's an elder plant. To the right, two trees with green bark. There's some leafy plant growing around the base of the left one. Behind them, there's one more elder plant.

A bird-themed mural. To the right, a blue peacock with white-black head, blue quill and blue-green tail with blue-yellow "eyes". Next to the left, there's a red ara with yellow-blue feathers sitting on a tree trunk. In the middle, there's a wide tree painted atop brown doors. Around it, two pink flamingos are standing on long legs. Next to the left, there's a large bird with yellow front and black back, and a long yellowish beak that's turning violet at the end — perhaps it's a toucan? Finally, something I can't identify, partially obscured by a tree growing in front of the building. All that on cyan background.

#Asterix et #Obelix in #Konin. In Frédéric Chopin Park.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=52.2111&mlon=18.2430#map=14/52.2111/18.2430

Wooden figures on two tree stumps.

The left figure is a male with a huge belly. On it, a wide red belt with gold-colored buckle, and below striped trousers, with interleaved wide brown and yellow stripes. His face is round with a friendly look, with a flat cap (or a helmet?) on top, wide mustache and hair in two braids falling onto his chest. His hands are resting on his belly. There is a small, bright brown dog at his feet, probably a terrier.

The right figure is a smaller, thin male in a red garment. He's wearing a sword belt. His face is slender, with wide unibrow, narrow lush mustache and short lush hair.

In the background, you can see trees in a park. To the sides, fragments of children's playground structures.

In the weird fountain series: a #fountain on Plac Zamkowy (Castle Square) in #Konin.

I have two theories. One is that it was supposed to be water jet propelling the ball upwards. The other is more phallic in origin.

Update: according to the Internets, it was stylized to look like a milepost from Konin. I wonder what mileposts were stylized to look like, though…

So the "bad weather conditions" yesterday apparently caused a major railway control fault today. All my potentials plans were ripped apart, and I've ended up in #Konin, for no other reason than the train happened to be going there.

This was originally posted as a riddle for my Polish readers; here's a repost with English alt-text. The name "Konin" refers to "koń", or a horse. So they put it in on top of a fountain.

An octagonal fountain in middle of a park. There's a raised round platform in the middle, on top of which water jets are spouting in a circle. The water then flows over the edge into the main basin. In middle of the platform there's a pedestal, with a horse statue on its rear legs, front raised. In middle of the fountain sides and below the platform, some decorative iron rods. Some trees around it, steps going upwards below it and a boulder with a plaque behind on the left (it's too far to read the inscription).

Być może wkrótce będzie kolejne połączenie kolejowe między Warszawą, a Wrocławiem.
#kolejedolnoslaskie wystąpily do Urzędu Transportu Kolejowego w celu wydania pozwolenia na codzienne połączenie między tymi miastami.
Według wniosku, pociąg z Wrocławia ma zatrzymywać się na takich stacjacj i jechać 3h55m.
9:40 #WrocławGłówny
9:46 #WrocławMikołajów
10:31 #Leszno
11:08 #Poznań Główny
11:53 #Konin
12:29 #Kutno
13:30 #WarszawaZachodnia
przyjazd na #WarszawaCentralna o 13:35.

W drugą stronę połączenie przedstawia się tak:
17:15 #Warszawa Centralna
17:22 Warszawa Zachodnia
18:21 Kutno
18:57 Konin
19:45 #Poznań Główny
20:21 Leszno
21:05 #wroclaw Mikołajów
przyjazd na stację #Wrocław Główny o 21:10

Osobiście, wydaje mi się, że lepsze połączenie by było, gdyby wyjazd był dużo wcześniej, żeby w Warszawie być w okolicy 9-10, a wyjazd około 20-21, wtedy można by wyskoczyć na jednodniową wycieczkę. W obecnej sytuacji, będą to pewnie typowo biznesowe połączenia mające na celu załatwienie sprawy i powrót tego samego dnia, ewentualnie jako podróż w jedną stronę.
Co o tym sądzicie?
