Breathtaking night panorama of Warsaw skyline seen from the eastern bank of the Vistula, the great river that crosses the Polish capital. The modern skyscrapers of the financial and business district shine with thousands of lights reflected like gems on the dark waters of the river, creating a hypnotic mirror effect. At the center of the scene stands the unmistakable illuminated silhouette of the Palace of Culture and Science, while all around rise the glass and steel towers that testify to the economic rebirth of post-communist Poland. This view from the Vistula offers the most evocative perspective on Warsaw's transformation from a war martyr city to a vibrant 21st century European metropolis.
