Main Town Hall in the city of Gdańsk, Long Market, view from Green Gate. The Town Hall spire, with a golden replica of King Zygmunt August on its pinnacle, dominates ul. Długa's skyline. Built in the late XIV century as the seat of city authorities, the Town Hall hosted many Polish kings. It was almost completely destroyed during WWII but rebuilt with extraordinary care. The tower contains a 37-bell clarion which was inaugurated on New Year's Eve 2000.

Hello Mikolaj,

Gdansk is a truly gem in Poland. The architecture and atmosphere of the city are very enticing to anyone visiting the city. When I was there it rained all day so I wasn't able to get very good pictures. This time around I may get lucky and see the city under sunlight. Nice perspective of the cathedral and the colourful gothic architecture. THanks.

Hello Mikolaj,
Interesting and unusual perspective on this lovely square. The silhouette of the statue makes a good contrast with the redbrick buildings. Very good clarity and colours.

Witaj Mikolaju!
Bardzo zastanawiajaca fotka. Ladnie skomponowana. To, co najwazniejsze, czyli ratusz jest w glebi, a na pierwszym planie architektoniczna ramka. Podoba mi sie sciana kamienic z lewej i aniolek, amorek z prawej. Latarnia tez gra calkiem zajmujace intermezzo.
Serdecznosci!

Serwus Mikolaj!
Jaki przesliczny ten nasz Gdansk. jak pomyslowo sfotografowales chyba najbardziej znany zabytek w meiscie. Podziwiam inwencje. Odjazdowa fotencja, jak wiekszosc Twoich fotek, zreszta.
Siemka!

Cze Mikolaj!
To jest kompozycja. Fajowski kontrast. Superfajowski cien. Ladna glebia, podoba mi sie. Podoba mi sie tez latarnia z lewej, nie tylko figurka z prawej. Fajnie zakomponowales to zdjecie.
Superpstryk!

Hi Mikolaj.
I like this picture a lot.
A good POV and perspective, and a nice blue sky. I like the dark area on the right too.
Best regards.
Bobo.

Witaj,

ładnie wygląda ratusz, ze strzelistą wieżą, szkoda, ze Dwór Artusa częściowo zaslonięty. Pozdrawiam

Hi Mikolaj
An excellent 18mm composition that includes and creates a beautiful composition. The buildings create a frame for the upper part including the gorgeous sky and in the middle the tower. Very nice colors and sharpness

Hello,

A non usual point of view and composition, but it makes the interest of this shot. All the lines are driving the look towards the tower.
This place is really beautiful and you succeeded to translate it in an original frame.

Yves.
