I was too tired to scout for good photo ops after the Cracow trip, so here is a picture of the spaceship in my hallway.

Why am I not around so much?

Because:

Ten more days (because that is my deadline) and I will be back at normal speed.

The Wieliczka Salt Mine is another wonderful place to go. It's been in operation since at least the 13th century and is now nine levels and 327 metres deep, with over 300 kilometres of corridors running underground. Once again I took my foreign friends to visit it, taking both the regular tourist tour and then later a special walk through parts of the mine which are not open to tourists. Unfortunately they forgot to tell us that we could not bring any battery-operated cameras due to the methane- any spark from an electrical switch is a fire hazard down there. I suppose most of the time it was too dark to take photos anyway. All we had for light were our headlamps.

The photo above is from the regular tour, which is fantastic all by itself, but the off-trail tour really complements it. I heartily recommend it to anyone planning to visit Wieliczka.

A few people from work really wanted to go visit the Salt Mines, so we made it a weekend in Cracow. This is the view from the belltower in the castle cathedral up on Wawel Hill. I insisted on taking them up to see the Sigismund Bell, as it is my favourite place to go when in the royal city, touristy as it might be.

Can you guess where I work? Why, yes, at the tiny human factory.

Waiting for the bus after work. There was lightning all around, but no rain.

After another long day at work it's nice to look out the window and see the sunset. Or something.

I sent away for a sketchbook to complete for the 2011 edition of Art House Co-op's Sketchbook Project. I won't have time to draw anything in it until a few weeks from now, but I'm really looking forward to it.

I made too much food again. Well, 'made' is an overstatement, considering what is on the plate.
