Still more from Wrocław.

On one of the bridges in Wrocław, couples who are getting married go there with a lock with their names on it. They lock it onto the bridge, as you can see, and toss the key over the river. The younger folks in our group found this very romantic, while the married folks found it to be just another way of expressing the "old ball and chain" concept of marriage. It's a neat idea though.

No, George! Don't give the living statue money!













A very old clock that is on the city's town hall. Note that it only has the single rotating hand on it. It also shows the phases of the moon!










Not the most flattering picture of me, but it was an extremely hot day so I think I can be forgiven. Obviously, I'd just dunked my head in the fountain. Polish people were doing it... it was okay.
