Nice, thanks for the history also... good composition and colours. :)

I believe there was one stage it the history of Eastern Europe when Poland had a great empire... am sure you can tell me more about this right? :)

Great to see you have also been in Riga, Latvia. :)

Best wishes and keep these good pics coming. :)

Nice. Even you down there have good true snowy winter too. :)

Nice shot. :)

This is so beautiful... what an interesting different looking way of life... just love the way the main colour is around windows...

Just a most interesting and fantastic vista. Hope to see this kind of thing myself someday... :)

Best wishes for 2009. Please keep showing us such interesting shots. :)

This looks really amazing. Love the composition and also leaves me with a lot of questions. Are those your foot prints to the left there... and is that frostiness where it is white?

I guess it happens in the desert also in winter?

Best wishes for 2009, a great creative year! :)

Very nice... interesting jigsaw pattern. Lovely Post process work. :) reminds me of work, cause the new digiprinting firm I am working for has a special machine that makes very good quality jigsaw puzzles. ;)

Looks beautiful. I love this lonely stack here... sure gives that lonely feeling. And the composition is great!

Yes by the sea is a wonderful place to spend your New Years Eve. :)

Best regards for an even more productive 2009! :)

Just love the lonely and interesting feeling of this shot. Yes those tsunami's there must have been very scary. Also it seems that the earthquake that made these horible killing waves that at the time moved the whole earth by up to 1cm in it's orbit, and by scientific statistics have moved us into a different orbit by 5 degrees. This could be a big attribution to the way the seasons are some 1.5-2 months later now...

Anyway back to your image... love it... the colours in the top right there by the moon is magic. And all is natural huh? No photoshop work here with the moon?

Very cool shot. :)

Happy New Year!
2009!
Francis
