Nowa-Huta on a winter's night.

Nowa-Huta on a winter night. The pre-Christmas heavy snowfall made for a fairy-tale aura in the streets and surrounding squares. I decided to capture these moments by flying through the parks and Central Square with Christmas decorations.  Enjoy!

Nowa Huta is one of the largest planned socialist realist settlements or districts ever built (another being Magnitogorsk in Russia) and "one of the most renowned examples of deliberate social engineering" in the entire world. Built as a utopian ideal city, its street hierarchy, layout and certain grandeur of buildings often resemble Paris or London. The high abundance of parks and green areas in Nowa Huta make it the greenest corner of Kraków.
