Today I had a great pleasure to visit an eminent Krakow artist in his studio and that was a highlight of my most enjoyable day in this royal city. Regretfully, I have no time to write about it more and no patience to struggle with the lazy keyboard.

In those by-gone days, if the words weren't enough, there was a persuasive tool that spoke to the skin....
In a place like Krakow, you can walk the same way a great number of times, yet still you can spot something new to your eyes. Last Wednesday it was the window at the landing leading to an orthodox church on the first floor of the tenement building:
Before travelling back home, I had a nice rest at this small park: Park Strzelecki:
