Description
In the heart of the Polish city of Wroclaw lies the old town. It's a maze of charming narrow streets, alleys and lanes filled with speciality boutiques and quaint little shops, oh what a joy it is to get lost among them and never be quite sure of what lies around the next corner but always know that it will be something delightful. The medieval market square (Rynek) which is actually rectangular in shape and one of the largest market squares in Europe, is the highlight of the old town, beautifully restored buildings surround a large pedestrian only area which hosts a traditional Christmas Market in winter and a selection of al fresco eateries in summer, a perfect place to spend time whatever the season. At one side of the pedestrian only square is Zdroj Fountain, an abstract fountain in granite and glass, it provides a stark modern contrast to the surrounding historic architecture. I blended textures with my original photograph in black and white to give a more painterly style to this old world Polish street scene.
