Canal living in Copenhagen
How would you like to board your watercraft directly from your abode?
Copenhagen is undergoing a building boom, especially along its waterfronts, as housing prices continue to soar while the prices in the country decline. It’s very appealing, especially on a summer day, to live in a place like this.
Planty Park encircling Old Town (Krakow, Poland)
Krakow is full of surprises and Planty Park is certainly one of them. An entire (oval-shaped) Old Town wrapped in a lovely old park that changes (with works of art, statues, ponds, bridges, flower gardens, etc.) as you walk or ride your bike through it? Count me in!
If you are from the USA… Imagine if Golden Gate Park or Central Park weren’t boring rectangles but encirclements of districts of the city, and you’ll get the idea.
Where in Planty Park did today’s photomerge come from? The building on the far left is the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre.
Auschwitz I – Stammlager in Oświęcim
Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec across the Vistula River
I rented a bike and rode almost 20 miles on Thursday. The ride was good except for the heat. My weather app said something like 88°, feels like 96°. With the humidity and bright sun, it felt more like 100° to me.
Anyway, my halfway point was here. After visiting the abbey, instead of taking the same route home, I hired a guy with a boat to take me and my bike across the river for this view before heading back to Krakow Old Town on the northern side of the river.
Krakow blue hour
Not many tourists in Krakow at the moment thanks to Covid-19. The good news is you can take photos like this one without loads of people getting in the way. The bad news is some places are closed, and getting a tour can be difficult.
