Church


This is another classic example of how the polish have held on to their heritage the photos taken here are of a 14 century polish church, most of ours were destroyed around the time of Henry VIII (when he decided to create his own religion) sadly these pictures were taken on my camera phone so i wasn't able to adjust the lighting, shutter speed etc. but even though is far from ideal these photograph portray the culture of the city places like this are well respected and the polish (at least those living in Torun) clearly respect their past and heritage. actually the street plan of the city itself has changed little since medieval times. 
 


As you can see the entire building is huge with almost gothic overtones, i can remember feeling slightly intimidated by the height and beauty of the place (this is  obviously accomplished deliberately as a subconscious reminder 'you've entered gods domain, tread lightly!')

            
The stain glass windows really weren't given the status they deserved by these pictures. They stood around 50ft probably a 100 different colours, breathtaking!
