In the left side is Narva Hermann Castle, constructed mainly by the Livonian Order in the 14th to 16th centuries. The oldest preserved parts of the castle date from Danish rule in the turn of the 13th to 14th centuries. In 1347, the King of Denmark sold Northern Estonia (including the town of Narva) to the Livonian Order; the latter reconstructed the castellum-like castle of the Danes into a convent building with a mighty main tower called the Hermann Tower. The castle and the tower suffered heavy damages in World War II and the restoration works started in the 1950s.

In the right side of Narva river be located Ivangord Fortress. In 1492 the fortress was erected on the Devichja (Maiden) Mount just in front of Livonian fortress of Narva. It was built under order of czar Ivan III and was named after him - Ivangorod. The little square installation with four towers was built in two months. In 1495 the road to the Russian fortress Jam was built.

This panorama is stitched of 3 shots.

I hope you like it...

Hello imre,

nice shot. The composition is really, and the union of the pics are invisible. The sky colour is great, and the light fantastic.

Thanks for share. Sergio.

Hi Imre,

beautiful photo! Amazingly rich colours, I love it....great!

Have a nice day, Ivana

hello Imre!
I really like your panorama! By stitching 3 photos together it looks like a absolut super wide angle shot!!! Together with the polarizer it creates a dramatic atmosphere.
Thank you for sharing,
Daniel

hi Imre

cheers

Bonjour Imre
Joli panoramique de ce château fort. La bonne luminosité fait ressortir l'architecture de la pierre et les nuages ont des formes élégantes.
Merci pour le partage.

A great panorama shot here showing two fortresses. I'm not a big fan of panoramas but this one is very good. Circular polarizer works well!

Hello Imre, très bonne et intéressante explication de la note du photographe, ce ciel est de toute beauté et l’effet du polarisant est photogénique à souhait, la surface de l’eau est un peu à l’étroit et vient buter contre le bord inférieur de l’image du fait du cadrage un peu serré, mais cette composition est magnifique et les trois photos assemblées de cette manière donne un pov extraordinaire, bien amicalement

Hi Imre, A great work in a lovely format. As usual I'm impressed by the quality of your shot and your colours here are really exquisite. The play of clouds in the sky is simply stunning here and your perspective is brilliant. Fantastic work! Sabine

Very nice panoramic shot with a great sky. Best regards

Hello my friend..!!
What a nice view you show us today, really impressive.
The pano is well choosen with lots of detail in an excellent composition.
The sky...yes of course a polariser, what else to put accent to that beautiful cloud formations.
Well done...very good..!!
Regards, Henk

compliments in order here. nice light and good work stitching. excellent capture! tfs arnoud

Hi, Imre. First, a technical note: I think your stitching work is perfect. The colours are well saturated and the main attraction points are well placed in your picture. The sky is very attractive with its deep blue colour and little clouds. Just one regret: I would have liked to see a large version.

Hi Imre,
Very beautiful panorama, all is beautiful, fortress of course but also light and sky, great blue with these clouds. Well done.

Hola Imre,

Fantástica panorámica de este bello paisaje, contraste de cielo muy acertado y buena definición, el filtro polarizador cumplió bien su función, seria interesante verla en formato grande, ganaría mucha calidad, buen trabajo.

José

Hi
Great panorama. The polarizer brings a great effect here - the colour of the sky is just amazing.
Great job with stiching the pictures together - what sftware have you used?
I wish I could see it in larger version...
Take care
Henryk

Tere Imre,
very nice angle and apparently a well stitched panorama, the clouds populate the sky well but it's pity you did not upload a large version.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hi Imre,
It's splendid! The compo, the sharpness and the assembly work on the 3 photos. But why didn't you post a large version?
Regards, Brigitte

Hi Imre :)
Nice catch(S) :)

As always a perfectuse of light!

Hi Imre!
Wow! Fantastic composition.Photo have everything perfect.Fantastic sky,motive,good sharpness.I like how river going around castle...Bravo!

Hi Imre
A splendid shot. A great picture with strong and impressive contrast. The clouds shoot out of the screen as they are set against this powerful blue sky. I was thinking maybe you could have gone for a big sized version which is common now on TE so viewers can scroll along the landscape. Either way it's one of your best.

Very lovely panorama, Imre! I love the rich colors, and the composition is excellent!

Hello Imre
Stunning view, I'd like to see it bigger. The light is excellent and I like those huge fluffy clouds. Nice having the people on the right to animate the scene.

Hi Imre,
What a beautiful panorama. Stitching three fotos result in really impressive wide angle, while still preserving many interesting details. Spectacular clouds are already a typical constant of your style and enhances the appeal of the composition. Very well done.

Thanks,
Marek

Hi Imre,
excellent panorama!
Excellent POV, colors and nice sky.
Well done!
Ahmet

Hi Imre,
I am really amazed with the consistency that you have been able to achieve in almost all your recent captures, hallmark of a very good photographer. It is a pleasure discovering your beautiful country through your images. I would admit, I did not not much about Estonia but now that I know, I would love to visit it someday. Superb panoramic view with great colours.

Imre hi! Really you did a very attractive panorama, thanks for that! I visited this scene about January 1985/86, it was completely ‘snowed’ but I could express all beauties using over cooled camera and Svema film! Good luck for the started New Year!

Bonsoir Imre,

Un beau panorama avec une belle lumière et des nuages qui rendent vraiment bien.

Didier

Hi Imre,
What a stunning shot! Beautiful stitching job and the colors & lights are fantastic. You should have given us a Large Post with beauty like this ;) TFS!
