In 2015, as part of a longer 42-day stay in Europe, I visited Crakow, Poland. Here are a few photos of that experience.

Beautiful and impressive series. You have some spectacular shots of beautiful structures!

Thank you very much. I was beginning to wonder if anyone had seen this set--I'd had several visitations to the one of Warsaw I created some minutes later. I know that the forum prefers sets to be not more than a dozen or so photos. The full Album on Flickr® is here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/8712554@N02/collections/72157656425728901/.

Superb collection.

David, if some missed this set it is a shame. There is no rule about the number of shots in a post. I don't like too many unless they are great like these. I went through these with no hint of boredom! I'll check out your link too.

Thanks for the nice comments and the thumbs up. The "limit" I spoke of is that when I posted my first set of pictures someone commented surprise I was allowed more than 10--wasn't a complaint, just surprise. I'm trying to stay around a dozen or so--it forces me to be selective in what I post here. My Albums on Flickr® are not very selective, because what I post there is more for documentation of what I'd seen, not strictly for art.
