Last week, while we were having the national holiday Corpus Christi, we went also out for a walk in the Main Square. It’s always good to stretch your legs, especially if during the week - not only the working hours - one is sitting in front of the computer more than 8 hours a day. A little walking never killed nobody and we don’t plan to stop :) The weather was amazing so while we walked in the city center, next to Sukienicce and Mariacki I managed to capture a few reflexions in the mirrors of the shops around the square.
More about that here: http://twistedredladybug.blogspot.com/2014/06/reflexions-take-2.html

Once more, I took a stroll through these labyrinthine streets. This time with my camera eyes and their shutters clicking fast. My focus was turned to the crosses of buildings jutting out of the hot cement. Then again to the people – each of which was making a pilgrimage to a different place but still making a stopover here, in Cracow
Cracow with its Calvary of the main square where amongst a blissful bustle, the champagne laughter of tourists mixes with sobs of the homeless. Cracow, the haven of pigeons who get trampled constantly by the hurrying feet of businessmen. Cracow, with its narrow streets that crisscross like synapses in the brain. Cracow with its cathedrals of smoke and smog. Cracow with its crowds of trees which proudly wear golden-green crowns of leaves. Cracow with its crazy bikers and couples kissing endlessly on lonely benches. Cracow, the city of my imagination, the city of my early twenties, a city of love. A city of great history and the city of my past-to-be.
Thus strolling and thinking I regarded once more the solitary bugle player who climbs the steps of St. Mary’s Basilica every hour. His call has always advised me to „look sharp!”, „stay awake and alive!” His acute note will haunt me for years to come, like a persistent perfume of the past. His music will reach my ears across continents, wherever I happen to find myself in this wide, wild world.
