Neck Kracking View in Kraków

Let me take you all back to Poland.

 

Welcome to Kraków one of the largest and oldest cities in Poland and a major tourist hot spot.

 

This is the interior of the beautifully ornate St. Mary's Basilica in Kraków. Which was re-built in the 14th century, originally built in the 13th century.

 

The Basilica which is a Brick Gothic Church is extremely tall and stands at 80 meters (262 feet) tall. The Basilica has been an architectural model for many churches built by the Polish abroad, especially St. Michael's and St. John Cantius in Chicago, designed in this so called "Polish Cathedral style". Laurie and I were blown away by the detail and colours of the Basilica.

 

The church sits just adjacent to the Historic Main Market Square. Which including the church is part of Krakow's Historic Centre which was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978.

 

Not the greatest photo of an interior of a church in my stream, there's some blown highlights on the right side and major distortion, but with only one "Krak" at it I think I did alright. As a side note, this was one of the only churches out of dozens where you actually had to pay to take photos.

 

No HDR or blending here this is from one shot with slight adjustments in Camera RAW.

 

Please enjoy this neck Kraking view and thanks for stopping by....

 

+++ Happy Monday everyone!! Been really busy lately, so haven't been able to get to many of your streams, sorry. This is catch up week for me so everyone be patient as I get back into the swing of things. Have a wonderful week!! =) ++++
