Taken with N9. It's the war cemetery in Staszkówka, Poland; the battle was fought by German and Austro-Hungarian Empires against the Russian Empire in spring of 1915 and it's called the battle of Gorlice.

I just freakin' love the composition of this photo. It follows some "composition rules", it breaks others, but in all cases it does it for the best. For a while, I had a problem with scaling that monument - it shifted in my mind from tower-like structure, to something not much bigger than tombs itself. Even despite the fact, that I know it's real-life size. Last but not least, some things on this photo make me thing viewer is looking from ground's level, peeking from one of the tombs. Not in a "creepy" way, it just leave a feeling of... emptiness. Like all human beings vanished just a week ago, planet earth is quiet, but nature haven't yet decided to re-take things. well, at least not completely... Yet.

Awesome.

My vote goes to chenliangchen.
The medieval castle blends nicely to the modern city on the background.

Sorry, I know it's late and I don't expect to be entered into the competition.
I just don't get the opportunity to take interesting photos.

I thought I'd share this one with you anyway.
