Cathedral in Kielce, overcast sky

Incredible shot of Kielce Cathedral, upon the Cathedral Hill in the centre of the old town. 

Dramatic clouds over Castorama in Kielce

Yup, so I take such pictures a lot, they look real amazing - the stormy evil clouds over an innocent-looking construction mall and a parking lot, or whatever. This picture, as all on this blog, is a composite of two (or more) HDR photos made with Photomatix, using different algorithms, with a lot of detail enhancer on the clouds.

Kadzielnia - the statue up close

So we got up close and personal with this communist statue in Kadzielnia reserve, and it's simply ugly. Typical socrealist "art". Some slogan about the duty to live in peace - yeah, right. Ugly faces of communist occupants adorn the top of this abomination. Geez...

Kadzielnia - the statue

This is how the famous communist statue looks like from afar. It stands erect upon a hill and a flight of stairs leads to it so it may remain reverable after all those years. All those damned years of communist oppression...

Kadzielnia - the rock, at the top

Finally at the top of the rock and through the cave, we take a look at the surroundings. In the forefront, some guy from England, awe-struck at the sight. A great example how new Photomatix algorithm (Contrast Optimizer) takes care of human skin in HDR shots - huge improvement.
