Recently I shared with you a sound recording from my childhood home in Kraków, Poland from September 2014. To accompany it I decided to publish some photos taken during the same visit. They show views around my childhood home and the nearby area.

As a kid I used to imagine a great monster lived next to the radio tower. It climbed it up every night. The red lights where its eyes glowing as it watched the city from the heights.  

The graveyard is where my grandparents lie. I loved strolling there especially on the evening of All Saints day. Often you could hear an owl hooting in the trees.  

Balloon that floats over the church took me and Toni up into the air to celebrate our engagement in 2009.

I cherish these memories especially now with coronavirus making it difficult to travel and my childhood home being sold few years back. I can only visit it in my memory.

 Even if I wished to see Kraków again I am unlikely to do that. Since the city declared itself ‘LGBT-free zone’  I have no intention of visiting. Perhaps one day that will change.
