Sopot is a charming resort town on the Baltic coast, just a little north of the city of Gdansk and part of the tri-city area which also includes Gdynia. It is particularly known for it's magnificent wooden pier. Stretching all the way out to the Bay of Gdansk, it is, in fact, the longest of it's kind in Europe. Pictured here is an extending arm of the pier, giving great views of the Grand Hotel, built in the early 20th century and situated on the seafront, it is still one of the most spectacular hotels in the area.. I blended a little texture with my original vintage style photograph of this picturesque Baltic coastal scene.

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...
