medieval structure
Posted by Roman (Thunder Bay, Canada) on 20 December 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.
Medieval structure in one of the small towns of western Poland.
... to me, it is so amazing that time can stand still for structures like this...
they are just there, looking down on people rushing by, decades changing... and they still remember builders in Middle Ages that gave them their existance....

Wonder what they used in the olden days to have buildings stand the test of time. These days, it just crumbles ..

@Nicholas: yeah, you're right. maybe just old fashion quality and craftsmanship ?

If these walls could talk it would walk us through many pages of history!

Ys, that is amazing. Nicholas has a great point, too -- they don't make 'em like they used to. They're certainly a reminder of how fleeting human life is.

Your comment sums it up well,

Theres allot of interesting things to learn from the past.

superb structure!i like your treatment here - slightly desaturated colours to give an "older" feel to the photo and the texture and details are excellent!
