750 Years!

Krakow, Poland  © Doug Hickok


When we were in the Old Town of Krakow a few summers ago, the beautiful and charming city was in a celebratory mood. For good reason too. The city was commemorating the 750th anniversary of its medieval incorporation (and Charlestonians think Charleston is old!) Banners and other decorations were out in glorious display. I chose to show these colorful banners with an iconic landmark of the city in the background, the gothic Basilica of Saint Mary's. Concerts and other live entertainment were held in the city square, including, ironically, a youthful group of break dancers.
