| Here is another two little dwarfs I met during my last walk around Wroclaw (Poland). Just like many other ones I found this one right in the city center right in front of an engineers chamber. | Kolejne krasnalki z mojej ostatniej wizyty we Wrocławiu. Tak jak większość z nich, te też znalazłam w samym centrum miasta przed Izbą inżynierów budownictwa. |

| They were designed by an artist Beata Zwolańska-Hołod and appeared in May 2017. They are both engineers and wear little vests. The big thing in her hands is supposed to be a project for a building that they look at. | Zaprojektowane zostały przez artystkę Beatę Zwolańska-Hołod i pojawiły na miejscu w maju 2017. Oba krasnalki to inżynierowie jak widać. Mają odpowiednie kamizelki, pani krasnalowa trzyma projekt i oboje patrzą na budynek przed nimi. |

| I mentioned already that there is over 300 of those little dwarf figures hiding around the town. They all have a pretty cool story and all represent the place or a job. Busy little things. Maybe one day I will manage to shoot them all. | Wspominałam już, że we Wrocławiu jest ich ponad 300. Wszystkie mają swoją historię i reprezentują miejsce lub jakiś zawód. Może kiedyś uda mi się je wszystkie obfotografować. |

Cute little dwarfs 🥰
Is there some reason why there are so many in Wroclaw? Is it a part of a tradition or just for some reason typical for that city?
Before 90' Poland was under strong Communist Party regime.
In 80' we had anti-communist movement/organisation called The Orange Alternative. Ideology of the movement was "Socialist Surrealism" :D
On the walls in the city that time appeared graffiti of Dwarfs. On the streets had place several happenings dwarfs-related. In memory of this events, in 2001 was placed first monument "Papa Dwarf".
Later in 2005 Tomasz Moczek placed first 5 dwarfs. Since then they just appear (circa 80 per year :D) They are protected by sorts of companies and institutions

This counts as a history lesson!!! Many thanks 😊
It is a part of tradition ;)

What a sight these little dwarves (or gnomes?) - thanks for sharing them!
300 are a lot: how many have you found yet?
A huge hug 🤗 and some bit of !BEER 🍻
Ohhh I dunno... I probably saw 50 of them maybe more. But I didn't manage to photograph all those.
Well, 50 is a good number already! 👍
You could create a challenge to photograph and publish them all by next summer?
By doing so, you'll be combining the useful with the enjoyable!
🍻 !BEER and a huge hug! 🤗
Not gonna happen :p I live about 2500 km away and I don't have a chance to go look for them often.
But I am doing my best :)
Oh, wow: pretty far away... i didn't know! 👍
