首次旅程第55天：饺子拼盘
Today’s artwork, Pierogi Palette — a playful study of warm, rounded shapes inspired by Warsaw’s autumn tones and the joy of a first pierogi.
Date: October 18, 2023
Location: Warsaw, Poland
A crisp day in Warsaw, Poland—autumn leaves whispering through Łazienki Park, tram bells in the distance, and the simple, soulful comfort of pierogi.
Autumn Light in Łazienki Park
Today, I found myself wandering through the serene pathways of Łazienki Park in Warsaw. The crisp autumn air, accompanied by the gentle rustling of leaves, created a symphony of nature that was both calming and invigorating. As I strolled, I chanced upon a quaint bridge overlooking a pond, where ducks playfully glided across the water. The reflection of the golden-hued trees on the pond's surface was nothing short of mesmerising.
A Taste of Pierogi
Later in the day, I decided to indulge in some local delicacies. I tried pierogi for the first time, and oh, what a delight it was! The soft dumplings, filled with a mixture of cheese and potatoes, melted in my mouth, leaving behind a taste that I'll remember for days to come.
Sketching Between Eras
As the sun began to set, casting a warm orange glow over the city, I found a quiet spot to sit and sketch. The juxtaposition of historical architecture against the modern skyline of Warsaw provided ample inspiration. The city, with its rich history and vibrant culture, has left an indelible mark on my heart.
Gratitude at Dusk
I ended the day with a sense of gratitude, not just for the experiences I've had, but also for the journey that has brought me here. Tomorrow promises another day of exploration, and I can't wait to see what Warsaw has in store for me.
Travel Notes
- Weather: Clear skies, 8–16°C; cool shade under chestnut and maple trees; crisp air that sharpened colors and carried sound across the pond.
- Scents: Buttery pierogi and a hint of fried onions; earthy leaves and faint pond water on the breeze.
- Sounds: Rustling foliage, gentle duck splashes, distant tram bells, footsteps on gravel paths.
- Reflection: Warsaw’s blend of resilience and renewal felt steadying—old stones beside new glass, both catching the same sunset.
