Pics!

For Wordless Wednesday and bloghops various!

 

I spent most of last week with my brother in Poland. You will not be surprised when I tell you I took 530 photos – I’m currently working my way through them! I though I’d start by showing  you a few of the city where we were based …

Time for a drink and something to eat methinks!

That’s it for now!

I’ll be showing you more of Kraków in a couple of week’s time, but next Tuesday you’ll see a few of the pictures I took in Auschwitz-Birkenau and Fabryka Emalia Oscara Schindlera.

    Great shots. I would have loved to explore there.

    I got stuck on the food and the pup. You knew that would happen.

    Thank you for hosting the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.

    Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Keith. 🙂

    Great photos, Keith! Kraków looks like a stunning city.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings March 20, 2026 / 11:22

      It is, and that’s just the centre! Thanks, Shiju.

    It is very pretty but what strikes us is how clean, neat and orderly it looks.

    Looks like a beautiful city. The main square reminds me a lot of the equivalent one I saw in Wroclaw. And the interior of that church is spectacular!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings March 20, 2026 / 14:22

      I’ve not visited that one. The church is incredible, I could hardly believe what I was seeing!

    Is that the head of the Statue of Liberty! God, I hope so! What a gorgeous city so full of history and exquisite architecture!

    It looks like a beautiful city with wonderful architecture, and the Basilica is wonderful. I have never been to Kraków, only Gdansk and Gdynia on a cruise. We docked at one and took a tour to the other, but it was so long ago I can’t remember which way round.

      It’s only city I’ve seen in Poland and it’s whetted my appetite to see more!

  18. Dale's avatar Dale March 18, 2026 / 20:47

    Fabulous tour, Keith! I have heard it is beautiful and your photos confirm that.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings March 20, 2026 / 15:01

      It’s amazing, Dale. That was just the centre, I have so much more to show you in the coming weeks!

      • Dale's avatar Dale March 20, 2026 / 15:11

        Ooohhh… Cannot wait!

    What a fabulous glimpse of Kraków! ✨
    The square looks so alive, and St Mary’s Basilica is simply stunning.
    I can only imagine how hard it must be to choose from 530 photos!
    Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings March 20, 2026 / 17:21

      It was a joy to behold. I really need to be less snappy with my camera!

    Dear Keith,
    My maternal grandparents were from Poland. They came to America to escape the pogroms around the turn of the 20th century.
    Beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing them.
    Shalom,
    Rochelle

    So many gorgeous pictures. The inside of the church is breathtaking. The swag shops have so many choices! The cellar restaurant and the food look fabulous. How did the pierogies (?) taste? Any good beverages?

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings March 27, 2026 / 18:14

      I’ve never seen a church like it.
      Those little dumplings were delicious – typical Polish food, and as a beer connoisseur I was well pleased!
