The photos do not do it justice - my little snapshot camera does not have an effective night setting, but you can get a rough idea from them. A view to the left:

The overall charm of the peace and calm, leaning on the balcony on a quiet Warsaw Saturday evening, was something worth simply standing there and absorbing. The sound of distant explosions enhancing the sense of relaxation. Then Babcia (Grandma - my mother-in-law) came out and said "shooting" and started to get worried. It was just a firework display, though, out of sight.

Steve - it's good to see you blogging regularly! Look forward to more.
Night shots - worth investing in good image processing software (Adobe Lightroom is good) - you can pull a lot of detail from the shadows.
If you camera allows for shooting RAW format - do so (for the tricky shots) and a tripod is useful too.
Thanks for the advice. I always wonder what type of camera you use when I marvel at those beautiful, rich-coloured pictures you publish. I think you've given away some of your secret.
I'm more of a snapshot taker, carrying a small camera in my pocket almost all the time and just using Picasa.
