Røros Mining Town Photo

The history of Røros, which stands in a mountainous setting, is linked to the copper mines: they were developed in the 17th century and exploited for 333 years until 1977. Completely rebuilt after its destruction by Swedish troops in 1679, the city has some 80 wooden houses, most of them standing around courtyards. Many retain their dark pitch-log facades, giving the town a medieval appearance. With its authentic wooden buildings, Røros was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1980.

Hi Attila,
is a composition with a good angle and a few well organized elements, I like its depth, its luminosity and its quality of image.
A beautiful wooden architecture surrounding the church, and an absolutely impressive sky.
A great work.

Szia Attila!
Hát ez igazán különös hely, olyan, mintha friss meddőhányóra építették volna, hiszen a rézsűt nem foglalta még el a növényzet. A sötét felhők és a vágtató patak remek keretet adnak ennek a fura településnek, szokatlan és látványos összhatást keltve.
Üdv
Laci
