Medieval City Photo

Photographer’s Note

Founded by Transylvanian Saxons during the 12th century, Sighisoara still stands as one of the most beautiful and best-preserved medieval towns in Europe.
Designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, this perfectly intact 16th century gem with nine towers, cobbled streets, burgher houses and ornate churches rivals the historic streets of Old Prague or Vienna for atmospheric magic,even if I tried to show to you all in B&W

Hi Isa,
Did you buy a wide angle?
I must say, this is a great low POV, presenting the place with all its glory and magnificence. The clarify tool works well again to fulfill the gothic atmosphere even stronger. I must see such places to regain my inspiration. I am so out of inspiration nowadays :(
Hugs,
Deniz

Olá Isabela, I remember well this magic place when I visited in 1995. This presentation in B&W is amazing. Those clouds on the sky aren't from this world. It could almost be the blue city :))
kisses,

Dear Isabela, I don't know how you did this but when talking of Transylvania, one thinks easily of Dracula and this photo evoques to me this menacing ambiance...
Wondering how you did this !
Hugs,
Cath.

Hello Isabela,
I saw the title of this photo among the messages on the forum and came to have a look... generally, I'm not a fan of b&w, but I do make exceptions from time to time... to observe the rule ;)
I like this photo though to me it looks a bit scary... and definitely with a tint of "true Middle Ages spirit". Excellent POV, and the clouds in the sky create a very good dynamic effect.
quite a timeless area!...
best regards,
Elena
