Upper Silesia, Poland.
Tourdepologne is not really a series telling certain truth or story, but
just few images from the streets of Upper Silesia cities. Well, this is

that has in the roses, oranges, red carnations, blue pansies, yellow sunflowers
and red poppies, the elected flowers. By the inverse: tripping and withering
is the rural genista; lost are the harvests of wheat and other cereals
for the bread of the poor; abandoned, dry, almost irretrievable, are the
