Placed 19^th in the challenge. HOUSTON! The Santa Claus is REALLY out there!

Placed 53^rd in the challenge. Through the deep, loose snow up to the 1725 m above sea level.

Placed 8^th in the challenge. Yeap. First from the early 2006, mastered in 2007. Upgraded until 2010. Also remote release cord to the Canon PowerShots A-series.

Placed 10^th in the challenge. Town hall tower on the left. Many narrow streets of the Old Town suddenly open up into one of the largest market squares in Europe.

Placed 3^rd in the challenge. Thrilling cold of January's night, but was worth the price. Coordinates: 50°19'38,0''N, 19°07'45''E.

Placed 5^th in the challenge.

Placed 26^th in the challenge.

Placed 46^th in the challenge. Monotony of their ever-the-same days.

Placed 16^th in the challenge. Sandomierz, PL.

Placed 8^th in the challenge. Excavation mine.

Placed 82^nd in the challenge. While I was preparing to take some wide-angle shots of statues on the left, noticed the dove starting to fly over me. Didn't thinking at all, shot few times the way the camera was set and this is one of the effects. Better this than nothing at all!

Maybe it sounds unfair, but such shot can be found in a photo archive of probably every fourth visitor to Auschwitz. Nonetheless it's an art to capture it the way to tell the story and you managed...

Placed 45^th in the challenge.

Thanks Everybody for your votes!
It's an honour to be here and to find my picture won the challenge!

Regarding the time our shots were taken - yeap, it's really interesting coincidence... maybe it...

Placed 17^th in the challenge. Living under the high voltage line is certainly not one of the healthiest things on earth, but I think a good choice for this competition.

Placed 1^st in the challenge. A wooden XVII-century Greek-Catholic Church in the far South-East part of Poland. Unimaginable deafening silence and calmness inside, with only a wind rustling through the gaping holes, like it was trying to tell about the stormy history she'd witnessed in the past.

Placed 363^rd in the challenge. Hazy day, overshadowed place. Taken from below.

Placed 10^th in the challenge. If the III world war occur, will there be a a place to hide or measures to to counteract its effects?

Placed 2489^th in the challenge. From my first visit to Grodek, aka Klomino village in Northern Poland. This former Soviet Cold War military base for approximately 7 thousand people is a ghost town now. Evoking unforgettable feelings when you trully realizes that there's absolutely nobody else but you and forces you to think about the past and the future of mankind!

Placed 66^th in the challenge. Aaway from all the troubles, away from overpopulated concrete cities, rush and buzz. Standing alone on the top of "my" world, in a place I love to be, watching the last sunbeams disappear in the blackness of eternity. The cities fall asleep, finally giving a rest to tired Mother Earth. The time slows down, surrounding calmness fills me through... Both strange preoccupation and childish joy takes over me. That's my escaping.
