Trafiałem na nich w miejscach odległych od siebie, często zadziwiająco dalekich od głównych dróg. Te z podpiętych zdjęć były złapane w województwie kujawsko-pomorskim i wielkopolskim, ale widywałem je też w zachodniopomorskim i pomorskim.

The people in the neighborhood wanted a bridge over the creek. The city had no funding for #PedestrianInfrastructure for something like that. But they did get an #art grant, so they hired an artist to create an art installation that would span the creek that people could walk on.

We might or might not be ready for this
Somebody on our neighbourhood whatsapp group just shared security camera footage of two guys derailing their gate from it's motor so they could get into the property to steal a motorcycle.
And what nobody seems to have noticed in the replies is that these two were standing under a bright spotlight, perfectly illuminated, casting long shadows across the street.
Bright lights do not deter criminals. They only make victims of crime feel a little better by addressing our primal fear of the dark.

I just can’t. Why the hell is what these people believe my problem???
