After a few glasses of Żywiec..., a photo from Pomorskie, West

Photographer's Note

I'm not sure if this building is famous or not, but I'm sure a few people have giving it a double look when walking home from the pub! It's situated on the main street in the seaside town of Sopot in northern Poland.

The temperature was below -20C so I wasn't in the mood to stop and take many photos.

Quite a simple picture but I thought it was worth sharing for those of you who haven't seen it!

NB: No photoshop was used in the making of the building! :)

What an incredible place! I must admit that when I first saw it my immediate thoughts were that it had been Photoshopped. A fascinating place and for me exactly what this site is all about.

Bonjour Craig,
C'est une construction vraiment hors du commun digne d'un bon reportage, dommage que tu n'as pas plus d'information � son sujet. Bravo a toi pour cette belle prise de vue et a l'architecte pour la construction !!

I want to see this building the next time I'm in Poland!

I first thought it was some crazy lens you used. Talk about "keystone" distortion.

Nice shot.

Salut Craig,
Ca n'a pas d� 黎re facile � b穰ir cet ensemble.
C'est une oeuvre tr鑚 originale. Mais j'aimerais aussi voir l'int駻ieur et la disposition des meubles ;o)
TFS.

It's a funny building. The architect has done a good job.
And you manage to show it at its best. Good light, blue sky background, and snow brightening the general appearance.

Hi Craig, What a good capture for all to see. Looks like something from Barcelona. Good that some architechs have the nerve to have this idea. Great to see.

Maybe it's the architects that had been to the pub!
The world's a better place with mad people building things like this.
Fun building, thanks for sharing. Nice capture.

Very interesting building indeed... Looks like something from Disleyland or so. I guess the framing could have been a little better, but at -20oC I wouldn't stand there for a second shot either! The colors came out nice, though.
Cheers, Ioanna
