The mural in Olsztyn

A few weeks ago, here in Olsztyn, happened something that we should be proud of. The first mural in our town is finally finished! A mural is a piece of artwork painted on a wall, ceiling, or other large permanent surface. This one in Olsztyn presents the most recognizable objects in our town, such as the townhall or the castle. I think it's a great way to promote the city. If more actions like that would start to happen, the town would become more attractive to visitors. Also young people would have a chance to prove their talents in public as Bartosz Świątecki and his crew did (they are authors of the mural). Someone may disagree but I think it's a great piece of art! I'm sure that murals are more popular in Barcelona or Istambul or other cities, but Olsztyn is not a very big and attractive one so things like that are quite unusual ;) Here's a link to the artist's blog if you would like to see more of his works ;) --> click!

My favourite place in Olsztyn

In my opinion there are many interesting places to vistit and to see in Olsztyn. We have many lakes in Olsztyn, but one of my favourite is Skanda lake. And it is also my favourite place. Skanda lake is located in suburbs of Olsztyn and it isn’t very big. There are two big beaches. At lake there is a small island and peninsula. Skanda lake is surrounded by forests and glades. In the summer Skanda is full of people. People from Olsztyn and neighborhood sunbathe or swim. I also like doing it with my friends. But if it isn’t hot it is very empty place. But I like this place even it is cold. Skanda lake is near my home – it is only about 25 minutes on foot (maybe it is the way that I like this lake not different in Olsztyn?). I like walking near water or in forests. Usually I take my friend with me, but sometimes I walk alone. Why it is my favourite place? Because it is a place where I can spend time with my friends or alone. It is also a place where I can go when I have got a bad day. Because it is always relax for me. And I just like it!
