Courtyard..., a photo from Slaskie, West

Photographer's Note

Arcade courtyard castle.

Old Castle in Zywiec is a castle located in Zywiec, Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.

A castle in Zywiec was first mentioned in 1467, as destroyed by an army, under Casimir IV Jagiellon's command against the House of Komorowski, with the Korczak Coat of Arms, recorded by Jan D³ugosz. However it is not certain whether it denoted the castle in the town or a fortifications on a nearby Grojec hill. Archaeological scrutiny dates the origins of the castle in the first half of the 15th century. A later expansion was constructed in 1567 by the House of Komorowski. Under the ownership and will of Jan Spytek Komorowski, during the castle's expansion a Renaissance style courtyard was built, which is still untouched in its current form.
Since 2005, the Old Castle in Zywiec hosts the City Museum in Zywiec. (wiki)

Ciao Krzysztof,

It looks more like a Spanish or Moroccan style of courtyard than Polish. Just needs a central fountain, rock garden and green pot plants, with tables and chairs for dining and voila! You're in Spain / Morocco! Nice sharpness and repetition of the arches. Tfs!

Hello Krzysztof,
Fascinating how the perspective distortion makes a beautiful graphic composition of these traditional three-layer arcades.
Very well photographed.
Have a good weekend, groet Rob

Czesc Krzysztof,
szkoda ze troche ciemno wewnatrz, moze mogli jakos romantycznie oswietlic te arkady?
Nie mniej miejsce bardzo ladne i znowu mnie zaskoczyles pokazujac jeszcze jedna atrakcje z Zywca.
Jak najbardziej pasuje tu centralna symetria.
W ogole geometria bardzo przyjemna dla oka.
Na pierwszy rzut oka skojarzylo mi sie to raczej z Portugalia czy Hiszpania.
Gdyby tylko niebo bylo niebieskie!
Nie mniej doskonale poradziles sobie z trudnymi warunkami.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
M

Hi Krzysztof,

THe tight frame is putting the courtyard in evidence. The point of view is showing the details of the architecture of the museum. There is a good contrast between the colors of the picture. Have a nice day.

Krzyzstof, that courtyard contains many arches supported by strong pillars. The two storeys include nice balconies. Fine colors, good image quality, instructive photo note, regards.

Hello Krzysztof,
I like the repeating arches all around. The sky could use some TLC. 👍🏻
