LAST FRAME
Before publishing anything serious—which I plan to do soon—I need to stretch a little, as I feel a bit rusty. It’s too cold to do any street workouts, the temperature is below zero, and in general, in my opinion, it’s too moody to write even moodier text about full update of WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR. That update will surely be shared soon—I owe it not only to myself but also to the people who take the time to read my stuff.
Last year was full of things and events, and I’ve realised that I sacrificed about three quarters of my time doing something on Hive, for Hive. But as I’ve already said, I’m a little too rusty to write that now, so I decided to make a simple post that brings back some unshared memories. I’m trying to go through the images and projects I did last year, yet there’s still a lot to share that hasn’t been shared—anywhere, actually.
One of the things I didn’t have the chance to post, and which has lately become the most important for me, is spending time with real people and doing real things. So here I want to mention the photowalk that happened during 
It’s always a bit weird to go back to these moments, especially since it’s already been a couple of months—but in the end, you do what you feel like. There’s no algorithm chasing here, no strategy to monetise content. At least I don’t have any agenda other than sharing what hasn’t been shared yet.
We started at 
, where we had a meeting. It was definitely too early, even though it was already 11:00. There was a general plan, but nothing more than having a good time. The major challenge was the gloomy, cold autumn—not the best time for a walk. But we did it anyway.
A few weeks before the walk, I was thinking it would be nice to implement a “task” feature in one of the apps—let’s say Snapie—where you get a prompt and interpret it in a human way. The main prompt I gave to the group was: “Catch the dragon spitting fire.”
Before that, we managed to walk through the Planty park and stop by Plac Szczepanski to take a nice group photo—because you have to start somewhere.
Afterwards, we headed towards Wawel Castle through the park surrounding Krakow’s Old Town. I didn’t really have “the day” for taking photos this time, so I was just snapping very random stuff along the way.

Here we finally reached the destination: a quick overview of the Vistula River, a snap of the Wawel Dragon, and the only photo I took with my $20 old-school Russian Zenith camera (black and white). All the other photos were taken with a phone.

The group decided we needed to warm up and get a hot drink. We ended up at Hevre, an old synagogue—very unique and popular spot in Krakow. In fact, in the same building we had one of the events during Hivefest 2018 in Krakow, so it felt really good to be back after all these years, knowing that we’re still alive and still have a community.
From there, we stopped by another place that accepts HBD (Bitcoin Lightning) to grab takeaway coffee. Amamus at plac wolnica
Then we headed towards Podgórze, where—guess what—we took more group photos.
By this point, we had been walking for several hours and were pretty tired. Still, I wanted to visit one last place: St. Joseph’s Church in Stare Podgórze, where you can see a bit of Krakow’s panorama.
Pure brand identity

That was pretty much the end of our trip, which took over three hours. I’m sure that walking, taking photos, and sharing is something I want to do more this year. I truly hope that the next one I organise will be in Alicante during Hive Creators Day at
