We reached the final country on our 2017 cruise, Poland, and we would be spending the day on a guided tour with some free time in Gdańsk but as that's inland we were docked at Gdynia to start with and I was struck by how much the harbour master's office tower looked like a cartoon duck. I've no idea if that was the intention.

A sunny day with a sky of deep blue and only a few small puffy clouds on the horizon. We're on a cruise ship at a dock and we're looking across a short stretch of water to a concrete pier sticking out from the land on the left, then beyond that to a larger basin of water with more docks on either side, almost all of them commercial with container ships and cranes dotted around. A low hill of deep green woodland adds a natural border behind the docks on the far right. The main point of interest is on the pier in front of us where there is a harbour master's office. It is a long building in pale yellow brick but mostly blue on account of the painted frames around the large windows on both of its floors. A square concrete tower rises at its rear with a a control viewing point at the top. It has a small extension jutting out towards us with a red lower band, a white and grey large middle area with windows all shaded, then blue top. Over that, set back is another part of the main tower with two large windows under a white top. The effect is like a squared-off cartoon duck face with grinning beak open.
