DM: Wroclaw 2013, May 3rd

This thread is for the photos taken on the 3rd day of our Dyxum meeting in Wrocław.

This time our "full AMAE pack" intended to wander around Wrocław itself. Plans were quite nice and extensive but everything was really against us: starting from the weather (a drizzle all day long with temperatures below 10 degrees I believe) to strange approach of museums. You know, it was a public holiday in Poland so I would expect that museums will take opportunity and will be opened inviting people to visit them ... nope

So, after taking a short look around the cathedral (a service was almost starting so we left the church) and having some coffee in a nice restaurant on Ostrów Tumski we went to the National Museum to only find out that it is closed

Hopefully to cheer us up a bit we had a chance to visit the St Adalbert Church with its fantastic Baroque Chapel of Blessed Czesław Odrowąż and then we were lucky to get to the Church Of The Name Of Jesus (aka University Church) where we met a very kind and helpful guide who turned out to be ... an alpha shooter too (we invited him to join Dyxum and enjoy our forum, so kudos to Krawinho for guiding us in the church ).

Finally we wandered around the center, had a beer (or coffee) in an restaurant and then we headed to Mikres - for a dinner and Caloric Bomb (tm) as a dessert

Fantastic shots Pieter. Those droplets on #1 on the bottom of buckets are just lovely. Nicely spotted on #4. Just an explanation about the calorie bomb: it is meringue with a whipped cream (36% fat) - really a Claorie Bomb. Thanks guys and gals that you helped me to deal with it - otherwise I would have to eat it all by myself. Yumm!

The jump is well spotted. The church looks beautiful - looks like you guys had some bad wheather

..it's all up to the guide. Which must have been quite good

@Domien: Sad Girl

I'm slightly distracted by the varying exposures and particularly the shot top right being darker, but otherwise, this is superb , both as 4 candids and with the way you've presented them together and the story they tell.

(I remember seeing her, as we sat and had our coffee in the rain, but thought photos would disturb her from my end of the table!)

And some great shots in the churches, nicely capturing the intricate details covering almost every inch of wall
