Ploce Gate

What I was looking for was some early morning light, a cup of coffee, and a city waking up. What I found was a walled fortress with a fortified gate through which people have entered for over six hundred years.

A small tedious staircase set into the stone high over the archway was the chance to find an angle that was missing from the street. It simplified the elements I want to capture and eliminated much of the distractions visible while looking through the gate.

Iā€™m clearly not the first person to view the gate from that spot, but having a camera certainly makes me feel like I am.
