Sopot - Deep Purple `When a blind man cries.`

Camera work: ThisBeata, Montage: ThisBeata, Location: Sopot - St. George's Roman Catholic garrison parish, Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Savior.
- Designed by Louis von Tiedemann of Potsdam between 1899 and 1901 under the patronage of Empress Augusta Victoria, the Neo-Gothic Garrison Church of St Jerzy stands on the site of Sopot's former market square. Originally Evangelist, the church has been Roman Catholic since Sopot's reincorporation into Poland in 1945. The minimalist whitewashed interior comprises three unremarkable stone and brick naves, some charming modern stained glass and a wooden relief of the Virgin Mary by Zofia Kamilska-Trzcińska, which used to be on board the SS Batory as a token of luck during the war. A Neo-Gothic chapel complete with ceramic roof stands in the square outside. Once a well, the chapel now shelters a statue of St. Adalbert.
- Church of the Savior is an eclectic temple, located in South Park in close proximity to the beach and pier in Sopot. Sopot Municipality has built it in the years 1913-1919 Protestant. Originally the church was called the Church of Peace. It was built on the site a small chapel dating from the second half of the nineteenth century. Construction of the church was caused by a growing number of residents and holiday-makers in the developing resort of Sopot dynamically. This church is now in the hands of the evangelical community. Its shape is an interesting combination of styles neobarokowego and Art Nouveau, with numerous references to different historical periods. Thus fits perfectly with the eclectic architecture of Sopot, and the bright mass of the church distances itself from the surrounding green park.

Very nice camera work and montage (loved the water fountain ending!). Impressive church architecture and beautiful green surroundings, all combine elegantly to express a very serene atmosphere, a feeling of inner peace, which I personally enjoyed!
