[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Once more ... Nikiszowiec housing estate, also one of the oldest districts of Katowice.

Few more photos of this great historic place:
Street
Old photo shop

This one also taken in B&W.
Added some USM and contrast, rotated 0.25 degrees CCW.

The only major PP work was to remove a road sign, which was just in front of the right pillar, nearest to the main archway.
Used a Clone Stamp Tool to remove it. The opposite (left) pillar was a perfect specimen for some final touches.

I was lucky to capture this one without any modern cars and other objects (well apart from the new windows, but they don't seem to be so distractive) - all that could spoil this great looks of a historic place, as if it was taken almost 100 years ago.

It was very cloudy that day, all over the region, thus the "overexposed" sky was somehow unavoidable.
