The Bright Lights of Warsaw


MUST SEE THIS LARGE PLEASE!!

As night fell quickly on my one night in Warsaw, Poland the night lights came out. Follow me and lets all step inside one of the prettiest squares in Eastern Europe.

This is the Old Town Market Place. Inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980. It sits in the centre of the historic Old Town. It is lined with unique traditional Polish restaurants, cafes and shops and is the oldest part of the city and one of the busiest tourist spots. So, with that being said, you can only imagine how hard it was to get a shot like this... in the dead of summer.

Although this is one of the oldest parts of town these buildings are only from 1948-1953. Immediately after the Warsaw uprising during WW II this square was destroyed and it was rebuilt to it's former glory for all of us to see after the war.

As the blue hour faded I was having a great time photographing the square and how could you not look at this scene. Oh and have you noticed the puddles... sign of things to come maybe? ;-]

This photograph is straight out of the camera, no HDR or Blending, just some minor adjustments in Camera RAW.


+++ I hope it's a happy Monday Blues for everyone, have a terrific week and take care of yourselves. +++
