Reduta Bank Of Poland

Warsaw, Poland

Reduta Bank Polski - constructed in 1907-1911, since 1926 a head office of Bank Polski (Bank of Poland).
During the WW II and the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, the whole area was a place of very hard city battles. The ruins were left since then as a memorial of Old Town defence.

A powerful and emotive photograph, Jola - your processing with that sepia tint is superb...a fantastic yet thought-provoking shot
