IT HAD BEEN MY DREAM...


 
Waking up in the morning, looking through the window and see snow had been one of my dreams until last sunday, when by 4:00 am, I woke up in Krakow (Poland) and looking down from my hotel room on a 9th floor, I saw it was snowing heavily.
 Hardly could I believe my eyes!



 
I made myself ready and stepped out the hotel to take photos and let my eyes be delighted with such a beautiful scene.

Something I hadn't seen for ages.
Despite the low temperature, my sleepy eyes and my lack of experience with snow shots, I could never miss that unique opportunity.





























On the way to the airport, the snow was falling so heavily that I wondered whether the airport would be closed in the meantime. Fortunately, not.





Losing sight of Krakow

 
I stopped over at Munchen airport and snow was there welcoming me...





 




As the plane was about to take off, this snow scene was before me...




and...
 two hours and 40 minutes later, a warm sunshine was waiting for me in Lisbon.


Late in the evening, as I was watching the news, it was announced that Polish airports had been  closed.
How lucky I had been, I thought!

THE SAME SUBJECT...ONE YEAR LATER

Last week, I was in Krakow (Poland) within the scope of a project sponsored by the European Commission. Intentionally, I passed by the building of which I had taken one year before the photo below. At that moment I didn't remember well the angle, the perspective, any detail regarding it, the weather condition, either.
 
As of October 29, 2011

47-1

See below the photo I took one year later (October 24, 2012)
 
NOW-001
 Different, isn't it?
Which one is your favourite?
