I spent a morning on my own in Krakow just wandering around gazing at the architecture and of course remembering to look up. Come with me and see what you think. I didn't make notes so the names and purpose of the buildings escapes me.
The Singing Frog Building. So I apologise in advance to
Gosia who is probably shouted out all the names of the buildings.
Known as The House under the Globe.
Jan Matejko, a well known Polish painter lived here from 1888-98
I just managed to catch sight of the bugler in the high tower of St Mary's Basilica who plays a five note anthem four times on the hour, to the North, South East and West. At noon it is broadcast on Polish national radio so the whole country can hear it.

So man features on buildings. Animated clocks appeal to me and the bugler must be good to see. The peacock is beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteIt's always amazing what you can discover when you look up ! I like to do that too and once hit a letter box !
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot to see upthere!
ReplyDeleteSo much proof that it's wise to look up!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to hear of others who liked to look at the tops of buildings. You found some real treasures there. Most people are oblivious. Are you back now from your trip or still posting from Poland?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! What a fine place, and that bugler is a great catch. :-)
ReplyDeleteSpectacular architecture. I don't know the history of Krakow I'm afraid so I'm guessing that it wasn't as badly damaged during WW2 as Warsaw for example?
ReplyDeleteha ha
ReplyDeleteI say 'always look up' often. Nice shots :)
The architectural/art detail is amazing. I've never seen anything like it.
ReplyDeleteI love those photos and can't wait to see them for myself! I once wandered around in Leipzig and I will have to go back someday because I only looked up and was amazed at all the beautiful architecture above my head. I never saw a single thing at eye-level! Unfortunately we only had one day there, so it has always been on my list of cities to visit (again).

What fine details! I can't even choose what I like best. Maybe the animals.
