Gdynia
in the lens

For a hundred years, Gdynia has shimmered in the glow of sunrises and sunsets. A dynamic city with a rich history and a unique location at the intersection of sea, sand, and forest. In every frame, past and future, urbanity and nature, everyday life and the fleeting moment meet. Pause for a moment and see Gdynia through the lens.
