cxześc Piotrze,

Jak zobaczyła tytuł Sarajewo przypomniała mi się Olimpiada w 1984 roku z taką piosenką i sympatycznym zwierzaczkiem. Kto by wtedy pomyślał, ze będzie wojna. Czasem ta koegzystencja tylu różnych kultur przestaje byc pokojowa.
Dobrze, że mozna wjechać winda na ten skręcomny budynek i za ledwie euro miec taki widok. Super kompozycja z dwiema wyraźnie róznymi częściami.

Pozdrawiam i milych przygotowań świątecznych zyczę

Małgorzata

Hello Piotr,
You found a great vantage point overlooking the city and you took the picture on a lovely, sunny day. The view of the mountains in the background is great too, especially with the layer of fog in front of them.

Dear Piotr

When I revisit Sarajevo I will have to include this building in my itinerary. A superb overview of Sarajevo from the lookout with good sharpness. Both the rail tracks and to a lesser extent the road at left add strong lead in lines. Tfs!

cornejo (60526) 2015-12-19 1:22

Hello Piotr,
Excellent view over this part of the city. I like the long deep perspective toward the mist shrouded mountains that make a pleasant contrast with the urban area immediately set out below. The ideal day for taking such a picture; clarity is superb.

Hello Piotr,
a fine bird-eye view over the city that recovered and renovated after the war. I see some new district on the right side hill.
The RR tracks and the autostrada leading the viewer as far as the fogy horizon and mountains.
My best regards,
Ike

BOnjour Piotr,

Quel magnifique point de vue. Toute une plongée sur Sarajavo, ville que l'on ne connait pas vraiment. Tout les éléments sont d'une grande netteté à l'avant plan et enveloppés d'une douce brume au loin.

Bon samedi

Serge

Hi Piotr!
The photos I usually see don't show such a modern city but from here it looks big and modern. The tower must be really high and the view is really magnificent! Very good colours also!

npecanhuk (79319) 2015-12-19 16:37

Hi Piotr!
Some years ago, we used to hear a lot about Sarajevo, but I think I had never seen images from there before! Very nice presentation of it to all of us!
Great high pov!
TFS - congrats,
Cheers,
Neyvan

pierrefonds (91588) 2015-12-19 18:01

Hi Piotr,

Shooting from the top floor is giving a very wide area which is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the buildings below. The light has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice dya.

Pierre

PaulVDV (48118) 2015-12-20 11:03

Hello Piotr,
Wonderful bird's-eye view of Sarajevo!
I have to admit that I don't recognize anything on this picture of my visit of this beautiful city in summer of 1982. Of course this city will have changed a lot. I remember I liked the Turkish houses in the old center very much.
An attractive composition with the roads and the railway lines all across the image.
Best regards, Paul

adramad (61798) 2015-12-20 11:31

Hello Piotr.
A superb and comprehensive view of the city from the high tower, great contrast between the neighborhood we see to the right of the railroad tracks, with single family homes and a more modern area on the other side.
Very good work. I like it
Happy start of the week.
Best wishes.
Luis.

Czesc Piotr
Super ujecie z "lotu ptaka" (pozwolisz, ze tak to nazwe, nawet jezeli zdjecie "tylko" z wysokiego budynku). Swietna graficzna kompozycja, ale najbardziej podoba mi sie kontrast miedzy sielskimi domkami po prawej i nowoczesnoscia po lewej stronie. No i oczywiscie gory ukryte za delikatna blekitna mgielka.
Pozdrawiam
Kasia

macjake (91001) 2015-12-21 4:58

Hi Piotr
I'm certainly no expert, but it looks like the more modern part of the city is locatedon the left, while the more historic part of the city in on the right.

well worth it to spend the extra 1 euro to get to the very top, why not right?

well rewarded with views like this.
glad you posted it.
cheers
craig

eldancer1 (36343) 2015-12-21 7:28

Hi Piotr
