This is a view on Gdansk/Danzig from the steps of the townhall. I was in Poland for a little escapade this week end...unfortunately the wheather let me down the day I visited Danzig! However the city is so colorful and beautiful that I still enjoyed it very much. Charged with history this is a very interesting place to visit.

Hello Leonie,
this capture of Gdansk is wonderful, showing the accuracy and the variety of architecture at the same time.
Thanks for sharing,
Katia

Hi Leonie. That's too bad about the weather as it looks like a beautiful place with a bit better weather. I'd be tempted to boost the saturation and contrast to help put it back where it's supposed to be.

Leonie, you are right, the weather didn't help you a lot, but you still managed quite well to capture a good busy weekend crowd with the colorful bg. The big crane on top of the buildings should be removed with some WS.
Regards, Peter

grise vue de cette jolie vue de Gdansk..(mais quest-ce que tu fous là bas??!!!!)

Hi Leonie -you're right, the light is pretty dull, and the crane is somewhat unsightly, though the charming and harmonious architectural style saves the day. The overall mood is that of winter rather than August.

Hello Leonie,
de bien jolies facades ici, dommage qu'il n'y avait pas un petit rayon de soleil pour faire ressortir les belles couleurs.
Dommage pour la grue aussi mais tu n'en peux rien :)

Hi Leonie
very nice picture, I like the colors and how the bustle has been captured. The buildings look very nice.
Good job

Hej Léonie,
Very nice view of this city. All the facades look great and you captured them from a good POV! The windows create a nice repetition effect. Good work!
Hilsen,

Hi Leonie, I thought you'd left us. I've only just got back from a long trip myself. Well glad you've had the chance to sample one of my favourite countries, though I've yet to visit the obviously beautiful place. Well presented view here.

Hi Leonie. I love the style and colours of the buildings and the hustle and bustle (English expression) of the market.
