Amazing panoramic photography by Jan Zięba

Comparing to France, Italy, or Great Britain, Poland's architectural wonders receive less attention in the media around the globe.  It's not because of the quality of the offer but rather due to a minuscule advertising budget the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage allocates toward the advertisement in the western media.  The shortsighted lack of pow factor, directly affects the image of Poland as a tourist destination and cuts into substantial profits from the tourism.

Luckily, the well organized Euro Cup 2012 have proven to be a hit among football fans (translate: soccer fans for the Americans) and gave Poland much needed exposure.  However, besides the brand new football stadiums, city centers, restaurants, and gorgeous and friendly Polish women, foreign visitors haven't discovered the true beauty of Poland: it's history and architecture. 

There are countless websites dedicated to introducing the Polish goodies to the would-be travelers.  However, one website, which came to my attention just recently, provides a panoramic view of the most amazing buildings in Poland and other locations in Europe.

The website http://zieba.wroclaw.pl is a work of art put together by Jan Zięba.  If you are interested in his work, the contact information is available on the home page.  The images are fantastic, and I urge you to take a look at his work.  Enjoy.
