Sunrise over the Siewierz castle, a photo from Slaskie, West

Photographer's Note

On 30 December 1443, Zbigniew Oleśnicki, the bishop of Kraków, bought Sewer/Siewierz from Wacław I of Teschen, who was deeply in debts then. The sale was for 6000 Prager Groschen. The bishops of Kraków became dukes of Siewierz, the duchy being not a part of Poland. The city became the seat of the bishops of Kraków, who received also the title duke of Siewierz. They also constructed a castle in Siewierz.

I like your photo Oleksandr. The colours and sharpness are awesome. You have a nice sun tinged sky as well. I possibly would take a more isometric photo of this, that way you could fit more of the architecture in frame. I'm not sure how that would turn out, I find my eye doesn't always see what the camera does.

Nice work... Regards
Vernon
