chapter · shorelines & peaks
Water and mountain.
four entries · Gdańsk · Sopot · Zakopane · Łódź
The same halls turn differently at water — the Baltic on one side, lake and pine on the other, and the mountain above Zakopane. This chapter is the water-side of the registry, with Łódź kept here for its lake and brick.
Gdańsk · old waterfront
Hotel Królewski, Gdańsk
The medieval brick palace on the old harbour edge — river and quay in front, the Baltic a walk away.
Sopot · seafront
Grand Hotel, Sopot
The seaside palace of 1902 at the end of the Promenada — sunset over the Baltic, pine woods behind.
Zakopane · Podhale
Bristol Hotel, Zakopane
The hotel on the wooded hillside above Zakopane with the Tatras behind — wood smoke, mountain air, the base camp of the range.
Łódź · Manufaktura
Andel's Hotel, Łódź
A brick factory palace of the textile city turned hotel — industrial brick, the complex lake among old factories.
