Oh Edoardo, there is SO much to see in this photo. SO many details that feel good to look at. The black and white is perfect, and those clouds, wow. SO dramatic. This would be such a lovely place to sit on that bench with someone special and just be at peace.Thank you for a lovely photo. Verena
A very pretty town square where I would love to sit and just relax. I also like your choise of using b&w for this, it´s like an old picture in a magazine.
Ed - In a restaurant that I frequent, there are several photo prints of scenes in Italy, done in b/w, with highly defined contrasts, that I admire. This posting reminds me of them. And, yes, I admire this photo. Excellent work good friend. Thad
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
