Church of Ustka Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Holiest Saviour’s Church (1885-1888) in the city of Ustka. Built in neo-Gothic style by Franz Draheim, a local shipwright, who then became communal treasurer and left all his assets to the poor. When in 1884 a construction cost one life – on 15th October 1887 carpenter August Groth fell off the tower. Parson Bartholdy who started the construction did not live to see the church completed either and died in 1886 of tuberculosis. Inside Ypu can see two votive paintings dating back to the XVII century and a few contemporary pieces. The painting to the right of the altar commemorates the tragedy of 1672 when one of Ustka’s sailing ships sank together with its entire crew. The people shown below the crucifix are family of the 20-year-old son of the ship owners who founded the painting. Above the altar you can see a crucifix which also dated back to the XVII century and had been moved from the old church originally situated in what is now known as the Park of John Paul II as well as a stained-glass window with the image of Jesus in water rescuing Saint Peter who doubted and started drowning.

Good morning Mikolaj,
nice presentation of this church with the POV to be so impressive and to create a great high of it.I like the brilliant light as the colours of the scene.The bell tower is outlined perfect against the blue sky.

Have a nice weekend,Danos

Bonjour Mikolaj
Un bon cliché de cette église à l'architecture intéressante et colorée qui s'élance élégamment sur un beau ciel moutonné.
Je te souhaite un bon week-end.

L'ensemble bénéficie d'un bel éclairage.

dear Micolaj Kawa,
colors are so clear and shining, maybe the air is incredibly transparent.
the blue of sky and the orange of church make amazing color contrast.
that sharp top of the tower looks sticking the cloud,
(its shape is like a rocket)
but people on the ground look so peaceful in the tender shadow.
anyway it is so comfortable in this fine day.
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

Ale rakieta, jak na Przyladku Bajkonur. Zaraz w niebo poleci. Fajne rusztowania z boku i widac, ze robota remontowa wre. Czyzby po sezonie naprawiaja szkody wyrzadzone przez turystow?
