One more glimpse of one of my favourite cities – Gdansk.
On the water – always fascinating and picturesque.
The medieval crane, built in the 15th century, is very impressive and a landmark of Gdansk.
The new architectural style fits in perfectly with the old one. So pleasing to the eye. I love this city – and I’ll be back…
Cheers to creative thinking!
I will always love Poland, and Gdansk is one of my favorite cities in the world.
Strolling along the water and the beautiful Mariacka street is a feast for all your senses.
I keep returning…about every second year. This year, the Sharpei beauty was sitting on his steps the whole day. Posted this one before, I am sure…
We came for the WWII museum this time, very well organized, but so depressing that I returned to Mariacka afterwards, to heal.
Details that intrigue me – the Gargoyles, the steps and stairs – and the beautiful doors.
Guess who was waiting there?
Until next time! ♥
For this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #70, Patti is our host, and she is inviting us to explore the world of monochrome– which includes black and white and sepia, as well as different shades of one color.
Patti also allows us, for an extra challenge, to try using a selective color – which is easily done in Lightroom for example. Just take out all colours (saturation) in the colour table – except the one you decide to keep. Sometimes you will find it gives the image that little ”extra touch”.
I have chosen one B&W ( a sweet meeting on the steps in Mariacka Street, Gdansk ) and three with selective colour – looking forward to Your posts!
The new WWII museum in Gdansk – keeping the colour Orange
A carpet shop in Tbilisi – keeping the colour Red
A shop in Mariacka Street, Gdansk – keeping the colour Lilac
We had a lot of fun with all the Doubles for Tina last week – thank you for posting with such great variety and creativity!
Next week it is my turn (Leya) to host challenge #71, so please be
sure to stop by and find out what is on the table!
Autumn is here, and most of the colours are gone. Bright flowers still during daytime but at night, in lamplight, the trees are still golden.
More autumn is to be found at Ailsa’s!
On our way to the railwaystation, we just had to visit the Church of Saint Bridget (Swedish Sankta Birgitta). Maybe it doesn’t look much from the outside – but inside – you are filled with awe.
Destroyed, rebuilt and restored – this church is, and since the 1980’s associated with the Solidarity Movement.
The silence and the crystal air was fascinating. The windows the only source of light in here. But that is enough.
Everything serene, and the altarpiece is planned to have only pure amber in its decorations. Together with red, white and silver, this golden amber art had me standing in total silence and contemplation, head uplifted, for at least 30 minutes.
Walking towards the railway station, autumn showed its true colours.
And then – Sopot next. The summer city of Poland with 40 000 inhabitants. An old health resort with the, always terrible, water which should be good for you…
By train back to Gdynia again – a soft and lovely evening. We found our Stena Line ferry, heading for Karlskrona.
This was an amazing and unexpected adventure – close to home, but with totally unexpected outcome. To be recommended!
