Closecalls with Angry Dogs..

Flashback Update #1

A couple weeks ago, the weather in Warsaw finally began to let up so I decided it was time for some exploring and photography. I was wandering around Praga, one of the oldest districts in Warsaw with some of the only pre-WWII buildings still standing in the city, taking photos of interesting things I stumbled upon. I found an intriguing doorway leading into a small, rundown courtyard, in which was a a beautiful shrine to Mary. I was astonished that something so bright was in the midst of such gray, drab surroundings. So I was snapping photos like crazy, feeling like I'd found something really special, when a large dog started barking at me. Upon seeing the dog, I immediately began backing up, because he/she had his head down, hair standing up, and teeth bared. I tried talking the dog down, and the whole time the only thing I could think was that it probably only understood Polish.. yeah I know, not the most practical thing to be worrying about in the face of an angry dog. I started running when the dog lunged my way and you better believe I have never run that fast in my life. The dog chased me for two blocks when I cut through a little tunnel alley. I managed to snap a picture of the dog down the tunnel before scampering off on my way, again I know, not the most practical thing to be focused on. Here are the images I managed to get from this adventure/close encounter...
