There are more than 350 pint sized bronze dwarf figures dotted all over the Polish city of Wroclaw. Each one is different and uniquely themed. The dwarfs have been present since 2005 and are continually growing in number. It has become a tourist attraction to count the amount of dwarfs you can spot, there are even maps and apps to guide you to their locations, but I preferred to seek them out myself and be surprised to find one in a particularly unusual place. Here, two brave firefighters in miniature work together on a race through the old town to tackle a blaze. I blended a little texture with my original photograph to compliment the vintage feel of this Polish street image.

I'm a travel photographer and photo artist. I like to explore every nook and cranny of anywhere I visit and I'm always looking out for something unusual or unique, weird and wonderful, interesting and intriguing. For me, half the challenge is in the initial taking of the photo, the looking for something that catches my attention, getting that perfect composition, but the other half is in the processing, the tweaking and twisting and the addition of a little imagination to see how much detail I can bring to the surface and hopefully let the viewer see the same as I did when I took the shot. My images have been shot here, there and everywhere, mainly in the historic cities of Europe and with the occasional one taken in my own surroundings...
