Something for the weekend — Part 83 — Streets of Warsaw

Hi

This is an early morning street scene taken in Warsaw, Poland. In “Song of the Open Road,” from Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman writes:

“You road I travel and look around! I believe you are not all that is here!

I believe that something unseen is also here.”

The challenge for this week is to start with this photo and show us what is unseen that is also here.

You can make it as simple or as complex as you like and you can choose to composite it from photographs, illustrate it, model it in 3D, or animate it. It’s entirely up to you.

Anything goes as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to have a go — whether you are a complete beginner or an expert or somewhere in between.

There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don’t be shy — join in and have a go!

When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200 px on the long side.

To download the starter image below in jpeg format with ICC color profile (sRGB) and without the forum scaling artifacts, right click and then use Save Image As /Save Target As (or similar depending on your browser).

Have fun!

    Poland folk dances - The Polish national dances are the Krakowiak, Kujawiak, Mazurek, Oberek, and Polonaise. These dances are classified as National because almost every region in Poland has displayed a variety of these dances.

                                                                     The Polonaise

    Joy in the streets! JH

    It will not shine again:

    Its sad course is done;

    I have seen the last ray wane

    Of the cold, bright sun

    Ged — Right. I’ll be looking for a hotel on the next street, as that is not an SOS!

    Rista — Very appropriate for the 75th commemoration of August 1, 1944 when the Polish resistance fighters rose up against the German occupying forces in Warsaw.

    Jacob — This might be scarier than Ged’s aliens, if you’ve been reading about Ellicott City, Maryland, and its two back-to-back thousand year floods turning Main Street into a raging river and ravaging the town!

    Jane,

    Jacob — This might be scarier than ...

    It was to me, triggered by your task defining poem, and literally (a)rising from my remembering New Tricks, Season 11, Episode 5 (London Underground).

    Plot spoiler: The river Fleet known from Roman times was driven underground centuries ago, but still believed by some to demand sacrifices. At the end a young women flees the police to look down at Fleet Street from a high building which transforms into the Fleet Bridge of old as the pavement vanishes and she sees the river, and throws herself into it.
