Dark Ages Return

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Hmmm. I'll write note later and i hope you won't mind too much. Let me just say it's view in Celje (Roman Celeia) in Slovenia. Celje had nearly become the ruler of Europe in 1450.
In the Middle Ages, the town of Celje was the property of the Counts of Celje (Slovene Celjski grofje, German Grafen von Cilli). They are often still referred to in English as Counts of Cilli.
You can see castle remains in upper part of this image.
They were a well-known noble family of Slovenia and the only true counts of Slovene ethnicity. They began their glory in a small castle in Žovnek (German Sannegg), Braslovče (Upper Savinja valley), but in a short period of time they owned more than 20 castles all over Slovenia and beyond through the marriages of their daughters.
When the last count of Celje died without an heir, all of their domains were passed on to the Habsburgs, their biggest rivals (the Counts of Celje and the Habsburgs had an agreement, that the family which died out first, would leave all its' possessions to the other one).
Their coat of arms (three yellow stars on a blue background) was incorporated into the Slovenian national flag in 1991. It is also the current coat of arms of Celje.
Well i guess i write it right away. Summary borrowed from Wiki. |

Hi Jure
A very good work with PP.
The scenarios remains "dark" and misteryous..
well done.
Taba
WOW
You obtained a very creepy mood.
The lightning is great, very vivid.
The touch of orange/red on the bottom left corner is great, gives life to the whole compo.
Regards,
Roberto Juarez!
