Here we can see a sluice gate on the Motława canal in Gdańsk, early on a Sunday morning in July. This point is less than 3km from the very wide canal that one sees from Długie Pobrzeże, where the crane and canal front in the centre is located. Here we can also see the fortifications to the south west of the city which have been quite well preserved and there are many people in Gdańsk who do not seem to know that they are here! My aim was to film the fortifications but I did not get much done as both the battery in the camera and the spare were almost flat. So that will have to wait for another time! My channel on you tube : http://www.youtube.com/alanheath is one of the most prolific from Poland. I have produced a number of films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occasional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- http://www.ceepackaging.com - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focussing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine! My blog can be found via http://www.ceepackaging.com and http://www.pbn.com.pl and contains background information and more details of many of my films. This information is in English.
