At the time I was taking this photo, there were a lot of ducks in the park that just ran away, shouting. But there were also those two swans, and I took a photo of one of them. They were cool and didn’t mind approaching them that close.

It was 6:30am in the morning, after a sleepless bus drive from Warsaw to Krakow, we wanted to walk around the city to take a glace at the city center. The sun had just risen and seemed to perfectly light up the hotel which had the bold ‘Hotel Polonia’ typograph. Krakow is a beautiful city with so much to offer.
