[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture was taken from the opposite side than the first one. You can see the north part of the wall, and in the left part it's an entrance, named "norder port"- northen gate. You will see tomorrow the inner city, the houses which seems are maded for the dwarfs and the small streets.
In WS I posted another picture and you can see the northen wall.

More information about the medieval city:
People have been living in Visby for over five thousand years. During the 12th century, the city, previously a Viking trading station, developed into a leading commercial centre for trade with the Baltic, and one hundred years later had become one of the most important cities of the Hanseatic League. Great stone houses were erected, churches were founded, and a wall was put up to protect the citizens. Today, this wall is one of the best preserved in all of Europe. Despite the fact that Visby still has 200 buildings with a medieval foundation, 13 ruined churches, a cathedral and two monasteries, the modern city is very much alive. In 1995 Visby was put on UNESCO's World Heritage list, entailing a responsibility for keeping the city intact and passing it on to future generations in as fine a state of preservation as may be.

About 2,000 people live in the inner city and about 20,000 outside the wall. Within the wall, there are large numbers of small shops, restaurants, pubs and clubs, many of which keep open all year round. Here, too, are the offices of the municipal and national authorities and businesses of all sorts. Supermarkets and shopping malls have been located to the newer parts of the city outside the wall.

Nu ninge, doar ploua da e frig si vant. Bleah, sper sa nu tina mult ca deja ma gandesc cu groaza la mizeria asta de oras ...
Stii ce nu mi-ai zis. Cum se descurca Ovidiu (sper ca nu l-am botezat) cu suedeza ?

ps.Cred ca e un pic prea mult copac in fata (ajungea doar partea pana la trunchi)

Frumoasa imaginea cu zidurile ce se zaresc printre frunzele in culori de toamna, emana liniste, excelent compusa fotografia si clara, in ciuda lipsei unei lumini mai puternice, as fi curioasa cum ar iesi aceeasi fotografie intr-o zi cu soare.

O zi buna,
Sorina
