Story
Vincent sits in a pedestrian area at ul. Szewska 80, wearing a floppy straw hat and a rough, bristly beard, and tilting his head up as if he is studying the sky. His face is lined and thoughtful, and he is a dreamer who has just spotted something wonderful. The playful tale is that he collects clouds with his eyes, and every cloud that floats over the street goes into his imagination. Look up with him for a moment, and see what shapes you can find.
