EtnoFun

When we were walking around the town we found something really interesting - the exhibition of big wooden playground in the Planty park:) This event is called A Malopolska Thing - grounds for cultural experience (Rzecz Małopolska - park doświadczeń kulturowych) organized by Ethnographic Museum from Krakow.

There are unique swings and carousel with funny wooden animals, wooden etno benches and amazing bushes - of course made from the wood. All these things were very interesting so we made a lot of photos which we will show you:)

As you can see in the last photo, the exhibition was fun not only for children but also for adults. We also took the opportunity and went to swing:)

170 years of photography

Today is the 170th anniversary of public photography. In January 1839 Louis Daguerre (French artist and chemist) announced creation of Daguerreotype - type of photograph. This patent was bought by French government and on August 19, 1839 it was given to the whole world as a "gift". Perfect gift:)
We decided to celebrate this day by photographing some old cameras: Zorki (Зоркий), Smena (Смена), Precisa Beier and new one: Fuji.
