Engagingly about Antennas - VI Summer 2007 DIPOL Competition

"Engagingly about Antennas - VI Summer 2007 DIPOL Competition" - adjudicated. " Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me".
Today, especially in big cities, we can see less stars, the same with moral law, comparing it with the 18th century when Immanuel Kant lived, but... unquestionably more antennas.
Usually, when we want to see them, we have to look high in the sky, like Kant, but what we see is rarely so exciting or inspiring to be worth philosophical reflection.
Antennas and dishes cover facades and roofs, TV towers destroy landscapes. Being the background of our civilization, halfway between the ground and the sky, they may separate people, limiting direct contacts.

• Such an air of sadness pervades the pictures taken by Barbara Sieja "Architecture of Cairo" (honorable mention), Bartlomiej Soltysiak "157" (honorable mention), "... in solitude" Piotr Rodzajewski (honorable mention). The common denominator of the pictures may be subtitled "In anticipation of the good news". Within this current it is worth to notice the works of Agnieszka Mlynarczyk, Magdalena Grenda, Sebastian Brzezinski, and Franciszek Kowalski.
• Kant's philosophical yearnings have been explicitly expressed in the pictures "The eternal hope" of Ewa and Lukasz Karczynski. Marks of Plato can be seen in "Tapping in the wall" from Marcin Kaminski.
• As usual, we have many pictures from travelers - exotic scenery astonishes us in "Boundless world" by Arkadiusz Jaworski.
• In the works of Tomasz Kozlowski we feel the climate of old quarter of Krakow (Podgorze). This group, say "Let's preserve it for posterity", also contains interesting photos of Marcel Kasprzak and Tomasz Rys. But in this edition no-one was able to beat the beauty of roofs in the picture "Something new... discreetly" from Tomasz Mlynarczyk (honorable mention).
• Birds adapt to "antenna forests". "Who will force us to pay license fees ? :-))" of Marek Koteluk is a witty summary of the forced coexistence. The picture "Break" of Jolanta Maj (II place) is a beautiful portrait with the antenna in the background.
• In the work of Piotr Rzok "Unlimited imagination" we see an interesting composition combined with creative imagination and a piece of wit - three in one! (Dipol Technical Department award).
• To highlight the beauty of antennas - impossible? After all, it is possible - see the picture of Anna Szczeblowska "Bird's Radio" (honorable mention), and, first of all, that of Agnieszka Sienkiewicz - "Meltdown" (I place).

Thank you for participation, and we still encourage you to notice interesting objects in the background of the sky, not necessarily the UFOs, inviting everyone to the next edition of the contest in 2008.
