Cityscape Photography: enchanting snowy Krakow - part 1

avatar
(Edited)

Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!

The weather has been really crazy here in Central Europe lately. Freezing waves and heavy snow loads have been taking turns with short periods of warm temperatures, which means the snow doesn´t stay long as it quickly gets turned into that ugly grey slush.

Yet, there was also a couple of beautiful days when the whole city of Krakow was under the fresh white snow blanket, looking like a true winter wonderland. Whenever it was like this outside, I headed out with my cell phone camera to click some nice snowy shots for you. The photos were slowly adding up and after some selection and basic editing, I ended up having 40 snowy pictures of Krakow that I would like to share with you in this photo collection. Again, just like with the beach shots last week, I don´t want to overwhelm you with 40 images in one post so I decided to split this photo series into two parts, both of which will feature 20 photos.

If you are ready for some nice winter chill, kick back and enjoy the first part of this photo collection dedicated to enchanting snowy Krakow ;)

I hope you enjoyed these snowy pictures. If you did, stay tuned for the second part of the series that will show up here on my blog next week. As for the locations of the photos, I took them in many different parts of the city such as the historic center, the Wawel Castle, the Wisla River, the Krakus Hill, the Jewish Cemetery in Kazimierz, the Podgorze neighborhood etc.

Hey Serpil, thanks for checking them out :) Snow-covered cities are amazing indeed, there is something magical about it. Do you also get snow in cities in Turkey or just in the mountains?

Of course there are cities where it snows. It even snowed in all districts of the province where I lived in the past weeks. Except the district where I live! As a person who loves snow, I couldn't see snow. 😔

Beautiful images. The one of the bicycle is great. I imagined mine covered in snow. We don't get snow around here. Looking forward to the second part. ⏳

Hi @phortun !
I would love to have some snow here, right now! I live in Berlin. It should be far enough in the north for snow... but still, nothing. It seems to be much nicer in Poland.

Yours,
@elenahornfilm

Hi Elena, thanks for stopping by :) Well, as I said in the post, the snow usually melts very quickly so it took a couple of (different) days to gather this many snowy shots :) Hopefully, you will get some nice snow load in Berlin too.

Not really...but in the past she still had somehow a little fear of snow... she wanted to play but as soon as her foot sank, she freaked out LOL.
This year she's brave enough to play.

You showed us charming snowy Krakow and in magnificent photographs. The cold is transmitted to our tropics. At this time it is a bit cool for us but nothing like snow.

Here my virtual and respectful hug ♥

Well... very beautiful pictures. But it's damn freezing.
We also finally got to see snow this year. Our little girl was so happy to finally be able to make a snowman.
But well... I am not happy with the shoveling and sweeping job LOL.
And the busses are becoming even more unreliable at snowy days :-D.
The lucky thing is that we don't have to go out and travel with the bus that often these days because of the pandemie :).

Aww, nice :) Was that the first snow in her life? Must have been an unforgettable experience for your little princess :) You probably live at some higher elevation if you need to shovel, right?
