Kazimierz Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Kazimierz is the district that housed Krakow's Jews for some 500 years. In the last decade it has been rediscovered, and its hollowed-out Jewish culture gradually reintroduced. Famous for its associations with Schindler and Spielberg, there's more to the historic Jewish quarter than cemeteries and synagogues. Lying between shops selling buttons and spanners, you'll find the heart of Krakow's edgy, artistic character. Peeling façades and wooden shutters hide dozens of smoky cafes, each one effecting an air of pre-war timelessness. This is an area of Krakow that cannot be missed.

Hi Anders.
Such a beautiful street scene. Like something from a 1950's style painting. Soft features like that of a painting. Well done.
Regards, Steve.

Very classical indeed, even with the traffic signs. Compliments for the composition.
