great photo. I wonder if there was a guy in the basket going for a ride?
"Fly, my Pretty!"
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Great opportunistic photo Andy!
Look no sails or wings.....
See you on the Dark Side......
I love seeing the national insignia on the side here, Andy! Definitely one for a repaint for 1919-1920...
All the best,

Balloons, in fact, have a long history of doing things like this. But hey, nice find, Andrzej.
Very interesting. I love the fort down below. I hope it is still preserved.
You have raised an interesting question Peter.
Cracow has always been a fortified city. XIX century was the period of great fortification works and (if my search engine works well) there were about 40 different strongpoints and forts built around the city by Austro-Hungarian Army (Cracow was considered a Free City under A-H rule). Several of the bigger forts survived to this day, but I am not sure about the one in the picture.
During my colleage years in Cracow I visited some of them and it was a fantastic experience.

Reminds me of a certain Scenario I wrote some time ago Andy.
Great find.

Nice picture, Andrzej.
...and a very sharp one.
Voilą le soleil d'Austerlitz!
Neat photo! It would fit right in at the 94th there in Columbus.
I do wonder though, is this where Polish sausages came from??
Well done, Andrzej! That is a great photograph to find.
