Monument..., a photo from Wielkopolskie, West

Photographer's Note

From bicycle trip.

Monument of the Greater Poland Insurgent on the market square in Pleszew.
The monument was created in 2018 on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the Greater Poland Uprising. It depicts an insurgent pinning a saber and preparing to go out to the uprising, and his son bidding him farewell, giving his father a gorget. On the pavement, next to the figures, we can see the inscription: "Nobody told them to go ... they went - because they wanted to" - which is a fragment of a song by Edward Sіoniсski. The creator of the monument is the sculptor Grzegorz Godawa from Poznaс. The sculpture was cast in bronze at Juliusz Kwieciсski's "Bronzeart" factory in Pleszew.

Pleszew is a town in central Poland, in Greater Poland Voivodeship, about 30 km nord of Ostrуw Wielkoipolski. It is the capital of Pleszew County.

Czesc Krzysztof,
Po raz kolejny jestesmy sasiadami. Sprzyja temu fakt ze coraz mniej osob jest aktywnych na TrekEarth ale tez najwyrazniej sie zsynchronizowalismy :)
Bardzo oryginalny pomnik, ladnie pokazany. Zwrocil moja uwage napis "niepodlegla", ktory dobrze tu pasuje chociaz pewnie wiekszosc ogladajacych nie wie co znaczy...
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
M

Over the centuries Poland has had to repeatedly fight for its very survival, much like Ukraine today. A poignant farewell from the small son of the freedom fighter. Good sharpness and framing. Tfs!

Hi Krzysztof,

The tree is helping to frame the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the monument. The light is bringing out the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Krzysztof,
Beautiful monument composed of two parts.
There seems to be a candle on the floor.
By chance? Seems like a nice symbol to me.
Best regards, Paul
