Pausing in silence, I traced the lines of history etched before me, feeling the weight of time in every subtle mark.

☞ #anødineUrban • War • Black And White Street Photography • Kazimierz, Krakow, Poland • 35mm
A weathered stone wall dominates the frame, its upper half bleached and crumbling, the lower half marked by age and damp. It is lined with five black numerals—"5" through "1"—stenciled directly onto the surface, evenly spaced from left to right. Each number is aligned with a thin, painted horizontal line, suggesting calibration or targeting. The stark contrast between the rough masonry and the clarity of the numbers evokes a sense of systematized violence or record-keeping. Below the wall, cracked concrete slabs extend outward in tiers, bordered by neglected tram rails and scattered tufts of grass. The absence of any human presence amplifies the silence and tension. The visual grammar of the wall hints at past executions, training drills, or some coded ritual of war. Stripped of context, it becomes a mute witness, an artifact of ambiguous threat.

I walked the shoreline during sunrise, lulled by the silence, watching lines stretch into the sea like thoughts too long unspoken.

☞ #anødineUrban • The Quiet Wires • Landscape Photography • San Pedro del Pinatar, Murcia, Spain • 135mm
A series of tall electricity poles recedes into the water, tracing a perfect vanishing line across the calm, glassy surface. Their lattice structures cast faint reflections in the still sea, subtly disrupted by birds perched at the forefront. The horizon is barely defined, melting into a misty sky tinted with early morning blue. In the far distance, low mountains loom in soft silhouette, adding depth and mystery to the quiet expanse. The atmosphere is suspended between day and night, movement and stillness — a minimalist composition that feels both infinite and precise, like a breath held just before speaking.

Le temps a laissé son manteau
De vent, de froidure et de pluie,
Et s'est vêtu de broderie,
De soleil luisant, clair et beau.

Il n'y a bête ni oiseau

Cette photographie en noir et blanc capture une scène d'hiver tranquille le long d'une berge. La rivière coule calmement, sa surface reflétant la lumière douce du ciel couvert. Un chemin enneigé longe la rivière, bordé de lampadaires espacés régulièrement qui ajoutent un sens de l'ordre et de la symétrie à la scène. Le chemin est presque désert, à l'exception de quelques silhouettes lointaines, suggérant une atmosphère calme et sereine. Sur le côté droit, un mur de pierre sépare le chemin de la rivière, avec des bancs placés à intervalles, invitant les passants à se reposer et à profiter de la vue. À l'arrière-plan, un pont traverse la rivière, reliant les deux côtés, et des bâtiments à l'architecture classique s'élèvent au-delà des arbres, ajoutant de la profondeur et du contexte au paysage urbain. L'ambiance générale est paisible et réfléchie, évoquant la tranquillité et la beauté d'une journée enneigée en ville.

I walked along the bridge, drawn by the quiet rhythm of structures aligned against a soft August sky.

☞ #anødineUrban • Line Of Silence • Architecture Photography • Krakow, Poland • 35mm
Five angular red-brown buildings stand neatly spaced along a bridge, their corrugated surfaces catching the muted light of a hazy afternoon. Their sharp roofs tilt in the same direction, echoing a gentle forward motion, while thin, vertical lampposts rise beside them like silent companions. A faint river flows beneath the bridge to the left, and far in the background, trees blur into a soft green mass. Above, thin strands of cloud stretch lazily across a pale blue sky. The composition is deeply structured yet subtly melancholic, as if the empty road and geometric repetition speak to an orderly solitude.

Standing on the bustling street, I glanced up at the old building, feeling the weight of its history and the stories it held within its walls.

☞ #anødineUrban • Ostalgie - Man In A Shop • Black And White Street Photography • Kraków, Poland • 35mm
A weathered building facade stands tall, its windows reflecting the world outside. The sign "Drukarnia - Leykam" is prominently displayed, hinting at the building's past life. Through one of the upper windows, a figure can be seen, adding a touch of human presence to the otherwise still scene. The lower windows reveal glimpses of the interior, suggesting a space that has witnessed countless moments over the years. The monochrome tones enhance the sense of nostalgia and timelessness, capturing the essence of urban decay and resilience.

In the city's heart, sunlight danced around me, casting a warm glow. The air was cool, filled with distant hums, yet here, time seemed to pause.

☞ #anødineUrban • A Blue Mirror • Urban & Street Photography • Cloud, Building • Krakow, Poland • 135mm
A vast expanse of azure stretches across the horizon, its depths mirrored in the sleek, geometric precision of glass and steel. The sky, a canvas of cerulean blue, is adorned with wisps of clouds that drift lazily, their forms echoed in the reflective surface below. The grid of windows frames the heavens, segmenting the infinite into orderly squares, a juxtaposition of nature's fluidity and man's geometry. A solitary street lamp stands sentinel, its presence a silent testament to the city's ceaseless vigil. The light plays softly, casting shadows that dance and flicker, painting a tableau of tranquility amidst the urban sprawl. It is a moment of serenity, where the boundaries between earth and sky blur, and the city breathes in harmony with the cosmos. The scene whispers of quiet reflections and fleeting dreams, a pause in the relentless march of time.

A quiet drizzle cools the air. I breathe in the scent of rain and rust, still, as time slows around me.

#anødineUrban • Constraint • Urban Photography • Podgórze, Krakow, Poland • 135mm
Soft daylight filters through a pale sky, illuminating fresh green leaves that cling to strands of barbed wire. The frame captures the delicate tension between growth and resistance — sharp iron edges cutting through tender foliage. The shallow depth of field isolates the main line of leaves, their veins glowing with moisture, while the background melts into a blur of white and muted greens. The barbed wire runs diagonally across the image, its rigid geometry contrasting with the organic flow of the plants. The atmosphere feels hushed, damp, and contemplative, as if nature and man-made boundaries coexist in fragile balance.

I leaned against the cold iron, waiting, letting the slow drift of the boat match the rhythm of my breath.

#anødineUrban • From The Bridge • #UrbanPhotography • #Kraków, Poland • #Pinhole
A softly blurred view opens through a dark, irregular frame, as if peering through a small aperture. Beyond lies a wide river flowing calmly under a vivid summer sky, where puffy white clouds drift lazily across the blue. In the center of the water, a small boat with a green roof leaves a narrow trail behind it, moving steadily downstream. On the horizon, two bridges stretch across the river, one with a modern curved arch, the other more traditional in form. Along both banks, rows of moored boats and scattered buildings extend into the distance. The framing creates a sense of intimacy, as though the scene is being observed secretly, contrasting the heavy darkness of the foreground with the light, expansive openness beyond.

I came here for silence, but found a kind of noise that doesn’t shout—just lingers. You can feel it in the walls. I walk slower than usual.

☞ #anødineLife #anødineUrban • Old Woman In Podgórze • Human & Urban Photography, Black And White Photography • Krakow, Poland • 135mm
A black-and-white diptych. The upper half shows a large mural painted on the side of a building: a stylized bomber plane emerging from dark clouds, with bold, cartoon-like lines. The plane appears menacing, dominating the wall. Leafless tree branches partially obscure the mural. In the lower half, an elderly woman walks slowly across an icy cobblestone square, hunched over, using a cane. She wears a long padded coat and carries a plastic bag. In the background, empty benches, bare trees, and parked cars suggest a cold, quiet urban setting in winter.

Wandering through the quiet streets in a warm summer night, I pause to capture the glow of streetlights on cobblestone paths, feeling the calm of the city after dark.

On a bright day, I take a moment to look up and search for beauty in the everyday structures around me. Sometimes these structures seem to bind the sky to the earth.

In a charming alleyway, a moment of playful urban artistry, where whimsy and direction create a dialogue between images.

Enveloped in the quiet of a rainy night, I feel the stillness as the world slows down around me.

☞ #anødineUrban • Rainy Night • Urban Photography • Krakow, Poland • 50mm
A monochromatic photograph captures a serene winter scene in an urban setting. The image is dominated by the stark contrast of black and white, with a street lamp in the foreground casting a bright glow against the falling snow. The light illuminates the frozen rain, creating a shimmering effect that adds a sense of movement to the otherwise still scene. In the background, the silhouettes of bare trees and buildings are faintly visible, their details softened by the rainfall.

Standing still under the heat, I looked up and down, sensing presence in both nature and silence.

☞ #anødineUrban • Diptych - Zborze • Landscape Photography • Bolechowice, Krakow, Poland • 28mm
Description: A vertical diptych juxtaposes two seemingly unrelated yet symbolically rich scenes. The upper image captures a dry cornfield under a vivid blue sky, where golden stalks stretch upward toward high-voltage power lines and a towering pylon. The mechanical geometry of the structure contrasts with the organic, wavering lines of the plants. The lower image shows a small, austere chapel alcove with a wooden crucifix fixed against a pale beige arched wall. The space is minimal, evoking solitude and reflection. Together, the two images subtly play with themes of growth, power—natural and man-made—and spiritual stillness.

Under a vast sky dotted with fluffy clouds, I find myself gazing at the silhouette of a grand church, its spires reaching towards the heavens.

The light fades, and I stand still, letting the last warmth of the day brush my face before the cold takes over.

#anødineUrban • Bazylika Mariacka • Urban Photography • Kraków, Poland • 24mm
A grainy evening scene captures the silhouette of St. Mary’s Basilica rising solemnly against a dim, ochre-tinted sky. The twin towers dominate the frame, one slender and pointed, the other capped with a bulbous dome, their forms heavy with history and presence. To the left, a dark statue stands on a pedestal, its profile outlined against the last light of sunset. The texture of the image is coarse, almost tactile, evoking the roughness of film grain and the chill of approaching night. The clouds, dense and slow-moving, absorb the remaining glow of daylight, casting a moody aura across the square. The composition feels both monumental and intimate, an impression of reverence suspended in shadow.

I was walking through the small village with my family, not expecting anything special, just the quiet and warm of this Christmas evening.

A dimly lit village street stretches into the distance, lined with simple stone church lit by a warm light. A lit fir tree glows gently in the middle of the frame, beside a small, low wall. The ground is damp, reflecting scattered points of light, suggesting recent rain or lingering winter humidity. No people are visible, and the sky above is deep blue, nearly black, hinting at nightfall or very early evening. The mood is silent and nostalgic, as if the village had paused for a moment. The ambiance feels intimate and withdrawn, evoking a rural Christmas marked not by festivity, but by solitude and quiet reverence.

The wind picked up as I stopped before the church gate, the sky folding into grey layers above me.

#anødineUrban • Faith and Shadow • Urban Photography • Podgórze, Kraków, Poland • 135mm
Dark silhouettes of statues stand against a heavy, turbulent sky, their figures frozen in solemn motion. In the foreground, a tall clerical form lifts a cross high above the others, its gesture both commanding and mournful. The remaining figures bow or stand still, their outlines merging into one another, stripped of detail by the contrast of deep shadow and pale, overcast light. Behind them, faint architectural shapes hint at the nearby church — blurred by focus and distance — grounding the scene in a place of worship. The sky is dense with storm clouds, their texture echoing the tension of the composition. The limited palette of greys and blacks, pierced by fleeting traces of light, gives the image a sculptural weight and a sense of quiet reverence touched by foreboding. It feels like a frozen sermon under a sky about to break.
