The Madonna Della Monte Sanctuary is nestled in the foothills just before where the Alps sprout up in northern Italy. The sanctuary was built in 1615 and is utilized for services daily. I captured this image from the backside of the sanctuary, attempting to incorporate grass, greenery and sky with the building. As always, your comments and suggestions are encouraged and much appreciated. Grazie!

What a lovely church Doug captured on a beautiful cloudless day. Your lighting and composition are very nice and the architecture of this Sanctuary is amazing. Thanks for sharing this one.

You did a good job with the composition, Doug. Because the dome is the focal point here, it works well to have the details of the lower section hidden by the grasses. Very detailed and interesting! I enjoyed knowing the history of it as well. Thanks to my tour guide! :)
