The picturesque maritime city of Gdansk in Northern Poland lies on the Baltic Coast. The architecture of this beautiful port town reflects the influences of all the various rulers of the past and it's complicated history. Much of old Gdansk suffered complete destruction during the Second World War and it is a joy to see it rebuilt so meticulously. There are several streets of note in the Old Town, pictured here is Swietego Ducha, also known as 'The Street of Famous People', many of the most successful and admired citizens of Gdansk had apartments here. Every doorway and entrance is different, each one beautifully decorated in a unique way. I am always drawn to doors such as this, always wondering about the people who have passed through them over the years. This image has a little added texture to compliment the old world feel.

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...
