Świdermajer #2, a photo from Mazowieckie, East

Photographer's Note

I am happy that John is back with us after a break. So, I can also show something.
On the day of my round birthday, I posted photos of wooden houses in Świder. Here is the most beautiful of all of them. The villa, built to serve as a health resort, is one of the largest wooden buildings in Poland. It stands out with its significant historical and artistic value as a representative example of the Świder style, since 1930s commonly referred to as Świdermajer, after the poet Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński. This style prevailed among wooden summer houses and health resort buildings erected in the vicinities of Otwock in the years 1880-1939, along the Vistula Railway Line. The style was brought to life by an outstanding draughtsman Michał Elwiro Andriolli, who was inspired by wooden architecture of Mazovia, Swiss architecture popular in Europe at that time and Russian ornaments - the so-called jigsaw style.
The property was neglected for many years but a new owner brought back its former glory.

Two other views in Workshops.

Hi Malgo,

The trees are framing well the house. The point of view is showing the details of the big wooden house. The quality of the light beautifies the colors. Have a nice day.

Super zdjecia i piekny budynek. Nie bylam nigdy w Otwocku (i pewnie nie bylo warto, bo jak piszesz, do niedawna ten cud drewnianej architektury byl zaniedbany), ale teraz dodaje do mojej "listy zyczen".
Pozdrawiam serdecznie
Kasia

malgo

a precious sample of architecture in timber. polish let many samples of adornments in our old Paraná timber houses, a pity most of them were lost. nice image matching the tower and the area with more adornments.
I would like to suggest a video with photos of a famous brazilian photographer and a sacred song created by brazilians in 18th century. I guess you will like.

Ciao Malgo,luckily the new owner has brought this jewel back to its former glory, it would have been a real shame to lose this fantastic architecture. One of the most beautiful in this area with the old wooden houses, and your 3 photos are the perfect demonstration of what we have stated, top quality! Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hello Malgo,

I glad that an owner was able to renovate and save this incredibly beautiful, wooden building. It's large windows must make incredibly light inside.
You have chosen a good viewpoint, to capture the most possible details, for us to enjoy.
The trees help to create depth to the photograph.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Malgo,
Presented from a good angle with some tree trunks in the foreground without blocking anything of the view.
The villa looks wonderful and very large. The destination was, of course, a health center.
Beautiful architecture with especially wonderful upper parts.
Clear and sharp summery picture.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Malgo

I am glad the property has been renovated. A splendid wooden building and I hope the new owners installed state of the art smoke detectors. Good sharpness and framing. Tfs!

Hi Malgo,
Quite wonderful big old wooden villa. Those cut details look great and the balconies are very nice too. You have a good angle showing most of the building and the surrounding trees.

Hello Malgo.
I love this style of wooden construction, it is a magnificent composition with this great building, the WS shows us wonderfully the beautiful viewpoint, with a sublime decoration.
I hope you cheer up and make us happy with your precious work, if you don't travel now, you will have a huge file, as I have.
Sharpness, lighting, color, and magnificent composition; they are managed to perfection, in this beautiful image.
Very well chosen framing. I like.
You have a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Indeed, attractive wooden building that shows two added section to the original in later era.
Fine outcome on the three pictures.
