Hello my friends. Another shot of the wooden radio tower in Gliwice.

Info from: www.muzeum.gliwice.pl/en/radiostacja/

The complex of the radio station buildings was constructed in the period 1934 - 35 by a German company Lorenz (co-operation: Siemens, Telefunken, and others).

On the 31st day of August, 1939 at 20.00 hrs the German radio station in Gliwice was burst into by a couple of armed members of the SS-troops in civil clothes. They were commanded by SS-Sturmbannfilhrer Alfred Naujocks, appointed by SS-Gruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich, the commanding officer of the Head Reich Safety Office, acting upon Hitler's direct order. This operation was top-secret. Only a password was determined, which was to be given by Heydrich to Naujocks on telephone: "Grossmutter gestorben". The password constituted an order to commence the operation. The attackers terrorized the German staff and broadcast a statement in the Polish language: "Attention! This is Gliwice. The broadcasting station is in the Polish hands..." The remaining part of the appeal read then was not emitted due to technical errors.

HAPPY NEW YEAR111

This is an awesome shot!
Great use of a fisheye (a pretty expensive piece of lens) - one I wanted to have to pay so much money for it, and use it once in a while was a bit pointless for my use.

Going back to the photo, great time!, 30sec. With nice light and pretty good sharpness down below.

Well done.

PS. Have a shot of this radio tower too, but shown in a different way: A piece of history.
