Lost place... Photo

Photographer’s Note

Today something different than my street photos...

This is closed opencast mine of quartz near Szklarska Poreba... Quiet place, but surrounded by noises of history...

Photo was taken in February, during a trip with my friend Arek to this magic place. It was a very difficult trip - 15 degrees below 0 and snowy weather (snow about 1,5m) and short day...

Enjoy...

Hi Pawel,
the first thought that came to me ofter spotting this shot: this is how Siberia must look like in the winter. The cold literally blows out from the picture. I´d love to read more about this trip of yours and this spooky place.

The POV and composition are very well chosen. PP is well managed. Although...grain in some areas is pretty strong.

Anyway it´s a photo worth seeing.
Best regards,
Adrian

Mmmm...this is looks cold. Great pov/framing, with excellent sharpness on the truck which really stands out here. Excellent, but rather underrated shot so far. Cheers.
