Despite the cold

The sun does not shine every day and it is not good weather for cycling trips every day.

Although today the sun was shining, but it was not a good day for a longer route in the open air. The icy wind pierced the sporty outfit.

We went for a ride in the city heated by the exhaust fumes, and turned into the cemetery. For the residents of Szczecin, all this is well known, but it's worth seeing it again and be proud of the beauty of the city. First, a golden-autumn photo:

"Central Cemetery in Szczecin (until 1945: Hauptfriedhof - Main Cemetery) - the largest cemetery in Poland, the third largest in Europe and one of the largest in the world. It was founded in the years 1899-1900, in the eastern part of Gumieniec, according to the design of Wilhelm Meyer-Schwartau, and the final shape gave him Georg Hannig in 1918. Since its opening, over 300,000 dead have been buried there, and its present area is 172.33 ha. "

And some more information:
