Warsaw's Iconic Soviet Tower - a photo on Flickriver

            If you're walking around Warsaw, you can't miss the Palace of Culture and Science – it dominates the skyline, and naturally, I had to photograph it. But the challenge was how to find a unique and appealing composition for such an iconic and often-photographed landmark. Known as the "Soviet Tower," this structure is a lasting symbol of Soviet influence, completed in 1955 as a "gift" from the Soviet Union. Standing 237 meters tall, it blends Socialist Realism and Art Deco. Despite its controversial origins, it’s now home to theaters, museums, and offices. Today’s post is an attempt to capture this iconic tower from a fresh perspective – Warsaw, Poland
