Church St. Michael the Archangel in Gniezno.

Gniezno is a city in central-western Poland, some 50 km east of Poznañ, inhabited by about 70,000 people. One of the Piasts' chief cities, it was mentioned by 10th century A.D. sources as the capital of Piast Poland (in Dagome Iudex) however the first capital of Piast realm was most likely Giecz built around 840s A.D. Its Roman Catholic archbishop, the Archbishop of Gniezno, is the Primate of Poland. These historical facts make its position in Polish history similar to Canterbury or Rheims.
Gniezno is located in the Greater Poland Voivodeship. The city is the administrative capital of the Gniezno County.

Hi Krzysztof
The Green Tower at thumb nail resembles a rocket about to be launched! as a result of such a stunning contrast afforded by the deep foliage combined by the earthy-tones onthe stonework. This is superb capture, sharp in focus in excellent clarity and smartly cropped. A shot to be proud off, Well done, Congrats
Kind regards

Hi Krzystof,
You have found a very strong subject with excellent positioning of the majestic church tower in great light. I love the fact that the church has such fantastic color contrasting very well against the green trees in the background. Brilliant!

Hello Krzysztof,
This well-proportioned redbrick church looks great against the lush green vegetation around it. A very good presentation of this attractive architectural object of Gniezno.
Best regards,
