Something Polish

Last week some friends and I travelled to Poland for the weekend. There was a long holiday in Hungary and we made use of the opportunity. I probably will not have any more holidays since exams are coming soon., even if I did have any breaks, I'll probably stay put.

Anyway, back to this trip. We went to the city of Krakow. Even though it isn't the capital of Poland, it is referred to as the cultural capital and I couldn't agree more. There's so much history in that city and I absolutely loved the time I spent there.

A friend of mine (a frequent reader of this blog, you know who you are :)) kindly asked me to take pictures of things other than buildings when I travelled. And thats when I realised that I bombard my readers with a lot of buildings and the history surrounding them.

Well, that was a good thing, cause it just made me more creative and I'd like to share some of the photos I took. I took a lot of cathedral photos by the way, however, I won't share those.

So I hope you enjoy these ones :)

The are a lot of street musicians in Krakow

I saw this really cute dog all dressed up, even with shoes. I couldn't resist taking a photo.

Street market with lights.

And then off to the Rynek square. There were so many people out because the weather was amazing. However, it was the children and the pigeons that caught my attention. 

They just tried to scare the pigeons away.

Some birds on a slab on the Vistula river.

Prepare for landing :)

Winter!!!!!

   

      Thank God the worst of winter is past us here. This winter was a very challenging one especially for pedestrians like myself. Walking to school through thick snow everyday isn't easy. It was also not easy getting up in the morning. I had to set my alarm clock about 15 minutes earlier than the usual time I woke up in case I had to snooze, which happened every single day. Thankfully, I can now wake up to the first ring:))

     The days are now longer and the sun shines well now. It's still cold but not icy cold at least I don't need to use gloves anymore.

I just want to share bunch of photos that I have accumulated this winter. ENJOY :))

 You probably can't tell where the road starts from, except for those cars.

My neighbour's car :( I'm sure she had trouble getting out the next day.

I tried to create a 'depth of field' here. I was somewhat successful. My camera is quite limited in this area. 

My boots embedded in the snow.

She must be cold....

The main building of my university.

People skating over the frozen pond in the park.

Hope you enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by.

Eger Basilica/Catheral, Hungary

Last Sunday I went on a school organised trip to Eger, Hungary. We visited a lot of sights in Eger among which include the Eger Basilica. I decided to make this post separate from the rest because I took a lot of photos. To check out the rest of my trip click HERE.

The Basilica in Eger is the second largest in Hungary, which has a dome shape. It was built in 1831-37. It is open to visitors. Inside the Cathedral, there are a lot of paintings on the ceiling. There are also a number of sculptures. Its a really beautiful building. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to see and experience it and to take photos as well.

I took different views of the exterior.

Moving inside...................

I took this photo of the Eger basilica from the Eger Castle.
