The picture shows the city swimming pool in winter. Snow and the perspective from the air showed how surprising and amazing forms are stuck in places that we do not pay attention to in normal circumstances.

I was born in Rybnik (Poland) in 1979. I graduated from the Institute of Creative Photography at the University of Silesia in Opava (Czech Republic). I organize one of the oldest photography festivals in our country - Rybnik photography festival. I have been awarded many times for my artistic activity. I professionally carry out commercial sessions, the effects of which help build the image of people and companies and support their marketing activities. In my free time I take photos with a drone, which are a source of many joys and awards for me.
