A photograph album presenting the city of Olsztyn's scenic setting
and historic architecture. The lakes, rivers, forested hills,
and the heritage buildings blending into the landscape, are what
gives this city its unique ambience. The photographs are accompanied
by captions providing historical background and interesting bits
of information, written by Stanisław Piechocki. Mieczysław Wieliczko
and Ryszard Rynkowski, the authors of the introduction, invite
us on a sentimental stroll through their beloved Olsztyn.
"Now we see Olsztyn in Wieliczko's photos, but this Olsztyn
of his is somehow not today's: it is the quiet little town, steeped
in picturesque mists and dusks, that I and many older readers
can recall from our childhood... Wieliczko has caught and shown
in his photographs the many small details that are like an anchor
for memory."
Tadeusz Szyłłejko, Gazeta Wyborcza, 7/17/2002
