Visby's ancient wall Photo

Photographer’s Note

A former Viking site on the island of Gotland, Visby was the main centre of the Hanseatic League in the Baltic from the 12th to the 14th century. Its 13th-century ramparts and more than 200 warehouses and wealthy merchants' dwellings from the same period make it the best-preserved fortified commercial city in northern Europe.

This gorgeous wall with ramparts surrounds the medieval city which is sitting on the Baltic Sea on the large island of Gotland in southern Sweden. Visby has been designated at UNESCO World Heritage Site and is well worth a visit if you're ever in Sweden.

You really have been around eh Alli?! :) Wonderful picture, good colors and warm light. Good POV and DOF. Maybe a wee bit too dark in some spots. Well done & TFS!
