Krakow looks good as always, thanks for photos DocentX. The only thing which Krakow needs is good modern architecture.

Yes - You are right. In my opinion "Nowe Miasto" complex is and will be good step forward (although quality of architecture of "Galeria Krakowska" could be a bit better), but Krakow needs more interesting investments with nice architecture.

Thanks DocentX ! Really nice Christmas decorations, not too over the top .
Shame the weather was wet, could have been more snow .

By the way, I also noticed quite alot of tram lines in the pictures, I was wondering what your views were on the tram in Krakow?

I enjoy trams in general, so I think that it's great that there are so many tram lines in Krakow (in addition Krakow's fast tram line should be open in one or two years).

And talking about new Bombardier trams - I just love them

A few pic from the begining of August :















































There was a temporary exibition at Wawel - "Amber – Myrta".

This particular 700-kilogram jewelry box took the artist nearly twelve years to complete. In this work Myrta — drawing on his experience, employing every possible technique, and all imaginable types and colors of amber — scales the heights of artistry.
