Bratislava, Slovakia, in sunshine and snow[edit]

Original one - Early morning sunlight over Bratislava, Slovakia. To the south (left) lies the city's Old Town, including Bratislava Castle; to the north (right) is its New Town.
Original two - The same location, just three hours later, after heavy light snowfall.
Reason
I'd like to nominate these two as a set; I think first and foremost they illustrate from an excellent vantage point Bratislava's two very contrasting districts; secondly they show the contrast between a city under sunshine and one covered in snow.

  • Weak Oppose Something about these pictures just doesn't grab me. They're good quality, and I'm sure they have enc value, but there's no wow at all. One comment: I don't think the second picture illustrates a "heavy" snowfall-- it looks more like a light dusting to me. You can still see the shingles on most of the roofs.

  • Weak oppose any individual image, strongly oppose promotion of both images. I feel sold short by the church spire in the foreground. Would like to see more of the buildings closer to the observer. Also not too keen on the snowfall - there's hardly any snow at all. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 23:20, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
