Courtyard of Wawel Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Wawel Castle in the city of Krakow (Cracow) is Poland's greatest architectural treasure and a priceless national heritage monument. It was here that the Polish kings were crowned and buried. The Castle walls contain remains of pre-Romanesque, Romanesque and Gothic buildings, but its present-day style is that of the Renaissance. This appearance was given to the Castle by king Sigismund I the Old in the years 1507-36. The Castle is guarded by defence fortifications spiked with turrets. In 1978 UNESCO placed the Wawel Castle on its List of the World's Cultural and Natural Heritage. A museum called the National Art Collection - Wawel Division was created in 1930.

ciao Mikolaj,
buona la profondità che ne hai ricavato per mostrare questa imponente facciata e foto quasi monocromatica di grande effetto.
buona gionata

Cze Mikolaju!
Rewelacyjny strzal. Swietna robota. Piekne swiatlo, piekny kolorek. Fajna ta sylwetka z prawej. Widac skale i ogrom budowli.
Pozdro!

Hello Mikolaj,
A fine symmetrical composition of this lovely courtyard. I like the repeating geometric patterns and the lovely tones. Lacks sharpness.

Ciao Mikolaj,
bellissima mostra di questa architettura.
Molto belle le linee convergenti del pavimento che conducono lo sguardo verso l'edificio.
Bravissimo.
Saluti, Giorgio.

Serwus Mikolaju!
Monumentalna architektura, chociaz renesansowa. Monumentalna pustka. Mnie tez to zdjecie sie podoba, nie kryje.
Siema!

Witaj, Widać tu Twoje zamiłowanie do symetrii zwierciadlanej. Nie jest ona idealna, bo budowniczowie jej nie zachowali. Kolor natomiast dość dziwny mi sie wydaje. Fajny kadr. Pozdrawiam

Really impressive

Witaj Mikolaju!
Dobra symetria. Znakomicie ukazuje piekno i potege architektury Wawelu. Ladne swiatlo. Bardzo ladna ekspozycja.
Serdecznosci!

dear Mikolaj Kawa,
this space feeling is rather surrealistic for my eyes,
the radiating lines on tile ground and round lines of arch wall make huge vinished extent,
just some time before surely something was there, but now only space, empty and desreted space is here, by my vacant spirit...
you captured not yard of building but space itself there, in my feeling.
thank you,
Akihisa
