I don't know if my answer counts because I recognise the place and situation. I any case, I see a mum trying to comfort her baby - perhaps to keep her quiet because the environment requires it.
After reading the rest:
Yes! You're exactly right. It's such a special photo. ... And I had no idea cryptoctopus was there in Kraków.
You recognise it because you were there. That is one example of how a picture can be different for everyone.
Yes he was, we were the cool kids at the back of the bus. Me and the baby napping on the way back to Krakow.
