I had one day to waste in Wroclaw this year. I was hoping to get good weather and prepared myself with extra memory cards and batteries for my camera. The whole day of taking photos. Parks, streets, abandoned buildings, churches, old town scruffy streets...
One day.
And on that one day, the rain decided to show up. I still went for a walk, but the photos were not exactly what I wanted or the amount I was ready for.
The lens was getting some drops now and then that you can actually see on some of the photos as cloudy spots.
Later on, the rain got a bit heavier, so I just walked around.
The center is a definite must-see. I know it well, but I still like to check from time to time to see what has changed. And it does change. Once favorite shops or restaurants are replaced with others, renovated facades or streets
The things that do not change are the churches, though. And there are a lot of them! Some standing proud with large spaces around them, others tucked between buildings.
Lots of narrow streets, small cafes, food places, tiny art galleries, and flowers in the windows :)
And now that I look, those narrow streets are so adorable on rainy days (on sunny days too, but they are obviously more busy). With fewer people and a shiny pavement full of puddles. No cars are allowed there, so it's quieter and less busy than normally.

I found it on the pavement in front of one of the churches. I just can't remember which one now. :p
