Vistula river in the city of Plock Photo

Photographer’s Note

Vistula (Wisła) river. View from Polish Legions under Marshal Józef Piłsudski bridge in the city of Plock (Płock). On the right: Cathedral Basilica dedicated to the Assummption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Bazylika katedralna pod wezwaniem Wniebowzięcia NMP). Original Romanesque the basilica was erected on the initiative of Bishop Alexander of Malonne, consecrated in 1144. In the XIV century two additional towers were built. After the conflagration in 1530 the temple was raised again in the Renaissance style by Italian architect, among others Jan Cini of Siena and Jan Baptist of Venice. In 1901-1903 the cathedral reconstruction was supervised by Stefan Szyller. He has also designed by Wladyslaw Drapiewski in 1904. During the Warld War II basilica was partly destroyed and turned into the storehouse. The temple hosts the replica of Płock Door from the XII century and tombs of Polish rulers and Masovian Dukes. In 1991 Pope John Paul II prayed there.

Hello Mikolaj,
A very good and long perspective along this wide river, which has played such a part in the history of Poland. I like the presence of the river boat and the wispy clouds. Very good colours and sharpness.

Serwus Mikolaj!
Przesliczny widok. Ale szeroka jest Wisla w Plocku. Samo miasto pieknie polozone na skarpie. Kadr w ladnym stylu ubarwia ten statek spacerowy. Zupelnie jak na Motlawie w Gdansku.
Siema!

Witaj Mikolaju!
Jesli dobrze pamietam, Wisla poniedzy Plockiem a Wloclawkiem to tzw. jezioro Wloclawskie, wszystko przez zapore we Wloclawku. Ladna praca. Piekna otwarta przestrzen. Dobre zdjecie.
Serdecznosci!
