I wonder what an HDR version would look like, with the buildings not silhouetted... On the other hand, being silhouetted against the sky certainly makes the steeples show up well. Also, thanks for the educational text. Such explanations add a lot to the pleasure of viewing photos, and I wonder why many other members seem so "tight" with their text.

Ownership of land is, at best, a useful human fiction.
