[Golden]

I don't know if like this picture or not

 

[SKDink55]

i think i do
once you get past the tree/bush on the left, the pattern of buildings and trees is awesome
i think the contrast gives it a vintage feel, too--which works

 

[ANDS!]

I think I'd like that gray if it were white.

Is it actually Auschwitz?

Stone buildings and tiled roofs?

Not the locale that people expect with this title.

What the hell's wrong with you, making an accusation like that?

That's what the buildings at Auschwitz actually look like. Google it if you have to. :thumbdown:

I like it. Interesting semi-posterized feel - highly charged.

 

[cosmonaut]

Man, that's good. Would to share your technique?

 

[jwkwd]

Bush or not, I like it. It looks like it came from an old plate camera.

 

[Pixie42]

I like it. I really like the trees on the right side.

 

[Aquarium Dreams]

Eerie. I like this alot. Why wouldn't it be a picture?

It looks like it's been through a solarization technique like sabatier solarization.

Believe me, that's Auschwitz alright. I've been there a few years ago.

I think you are mistaken Auschwitz with the actual destruction camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau. Around 1.5 million Jews were gassed and burned there. I've been to Auschwitz I, the concentration camp, and Auschwitz II which is Auschwitz Birkenau, the destruction camp. This was some years ago, but if I recall correctly there was a lot more wood used for building Auschwitz II then was used for I. I believe the barracks there were also made of wood, instead of the stone used in Auschwitz I.
A very scary thing is to see all the chimneys in Auschwitz II standing tall in the camp grounds, while only the first row of actual barracks is still standing. If you get into the watch tower at the gates, you can see how incredibly large the terrain actually is. Just simply scary...
So far for my history lessons to you

Great picture, actually really covers the feelings you get when walking around Auschwitz.
