I thought the first picture was of Krakow, Poland! It looks very similar to ul. Grodzka. I wish I had known about the challenge, I published on my profile photos from Nashville, TN and Madeira, Portugal.
We haven’t been to Kraków for years! It’s a shame if it’s that beautiful at Christmas!
You have some lovely Xmas photos on your blog, so it’s truly a pity you didn’t participate! Keep your eyes peeled for the next challenge :)
Thanks, I surely will!
So many beautiful captures. Where to be at Christmas?
Thanks for stopping by, Jo! The quality of the entries is really high, that’s true! So many beautiful places this Christmas!
so many beautiful photos – such a pity a was away from home that time, I could have sent some archival photos of mine. But even a bigger pity was the non-existent Christams atmosphere in a Muslim country…
set a Ramazan photo competition and I can probably contribute something then, hehe
That would be a tough one but we might think about it, thanks! :)
I am speechless – so beautiful photos.
Thanks for stopping by! :)
