The Church of the Island, a photo from Gorenjska, West

Photographer's Note

According to written sources, the first masonry church on the island, a three-naved Romanesque basilica, was consecrated by the Aquilean patriarch Pellegrino in 1142. In the 15th century, it was rebuilt in the Gothic style: a new presbytery, a freestanding bell tower and the main altar were built. The renovated single-nave church was consecrated in 1465 by the first bishop of Ljubljana, count Ћiga Lamberg. In 1509 it was so damaged by an earthquake that it required thorough renovation, and this was carried out in the Baroque style. Only the frescoes in the presbytery and a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary, which probably adorned the main altar, are preserved from the previous Gothic church.

hi Grzegorz
very nice shot, with good exposure to capture a beautiful reflection and the blue/gray sky.
the church stands out really well and the fog around it add some mystery to the shot

Idyllic atmosphere, really!
Reflection in water and good lighting were the important factors for a good shot. The exposure time and the moment of shooting, set the optimal performance.
