A bit original, the Pope as a dark figure against the bright building in the background. His friendly face is still there, though. Thanks for sharing.
No tak... Pomniki papieża to odrębny rozdział ;-)
This photo again promote my mind to visit Nowy Sacz one day.
Great composition! The building is gorgeous!
Interesting statue...the flowing robes give it a formative expression...but why is it next to the town hall?
I suppose it's because of that the authorities of the town wanted to choose the noblest and the most worthy place for the statue of the most distinguished Pole of our times.
I agree that this particular place is arguable:)
Thanks for the info. I wondered because we're having some struggles with the church/state issue here. Actually, considering the fact he is, "the most distinguished Pole of our times," it is most appropriate from any point of view.
A most famous Pole - I like the statue & it's placement next to the townhall seems regal (hmmm, government, church, rulers). The other famous Pole that comes to mind is Lech Wałęsa.
One of Poland's greatest men.
That is a good picture, and a fine statue. Is that a Christmas tree at the bottom, or is it just my old eyes playing up?!
No, it's not a Christmas tree, just ordinary tree:)
