Buried in the depths of the woods behind Wilanów Palace is this rather splendid Chinese gazebo. Mostly the home of pigeons now, it still provides an interesting focal point for a walk through the woods and beyond to the bridge.

Autumn Rose
This could be one of the last roses of 2009. There were very few left on this particular bush in Wilanów Rose Garden and most had been trimmed off in preparation for a new batch next Spring. Still, it was nice to see some bright colour in the gardens amongst all the bare trees.

Wilanów Palace
To the south of Warsaw lies Wilanów, one of the few areas of the city that escaped the bombing during WWII. The Palace was built for the Polish king Jan III Sobieski between 1677 – 1698. It is now open as a museum and for a small fee (5 złoty per person), you can walk around the vast woodland gardens behind the palace which run alongside the lake. Well worth a visit during the summer for the rose gardens, and the museum tour if you have plenty of time!
