If you find more inspiration walking around a new city than paging through design magazines (or websites!), a stroll through the lovely Old Town in Krakow -- with its UNESCO World Heritage market square and historic architecture dating as far back as 1,000 years -- is a rich experience. Here are a few snapshots from a recent visit to Krakow, where the sherbert color palette was saved from preciousness by the beautiful ravages of time, and even a boarded up window had a certain poetry...

The meaty texture of Krakow and the fact that city ages with dignity (not being plastered over or bulldozed for shiny new structures) makes it a rare and precious place to behold. It is practiacly untouched by 'cosmetic enhancement', though that is changing. New 'credit' banks are springing up everywhere and with them a slew of 'enhancements' as well. I just returned from living there for 4.5 months and seeing these pictures taken along my daily 'commute' make me very home-sick! And I'm not even from there...
The first picture is taken from the oldest street in Krakow, when the city was founded it was where the priests and oldest monks lived, it's straight across from the Wawel castle in picture 4.
