A great day with Carlo and Cristina, a photo from Pisa, Tuscany

Photographer's Note

SEE WS TOO!
This year Italian holidays due to Covid. I chose Tuscany, and obviously I could not go to Pisa to meet Carlo and Cristina whom I had not seen for 7 years. It was really a beautiful day, they are two special people, they guided me and transported me to Pisa and Livorno, making me discover interesting places where tourists don't go. But of course I couldn't help but start from the Piazza dei Miracoli, where in addition to the famous leaning tower, there are two other jewels such as the cathedral and the baptistery. In the 2 WS you can see a photo of the three of us and a particular one. Info about this square on this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piazza_dei_Miracoli

UNA BELLISSIMA GIORNATA CON CARLO E CRISTINA

Quest'anno vacanze italiane a causa del Covid. Ho scelto la Toscana, e ovviamente non potevo non andare a Pisa per incontrare Carlo e Cristina che non vedevo da 7 anni. E' stata davvero una giornata bellissima, sono due persone speciali, mi hanno fatto da guida e trasportato per Pisa e Livorno, facendomi scoprire anche luoghi interessanti dove i turisti non vanno. Ma naturalmente non potevo non partire dalla Piazza dei Miracoli, dove oltre alla famosa torre pendente, ci sono altri due gioeilli come il duomo ed il battistero. Nei 2 WS potete vedere una foto di noi tre ed una un po' particolare.

Bonsoir Luciano,

La pr閟ence des personnes anime la sc鑞e. La prise de vue permet de voir les d閠ails du baptist鑢e et de la cath閐rale de Pise. La lumi鑢e met en valeur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne soir閑.

Pierre

Ciao Luciano
grazie per tutti i complimenti e grazie per essere partito proprio da questa piazza a parlare della tua vacanza.
Questa piazza, come tu sai, mi � molto cara, alle spalle della foto ci sono nato e oltre il Duomo sono andato a scuola.
Abbiamo passato una bella giornata, un po' calda, ma intensa.
Grazie ancora e buona domenica
Carlo

ikeharel (113427) 2020-08-29 21:32

Nice to see you, Carlo and his wife on the WS's, Luciano. Hope Carlo will post pictures again.
Anyway, busy place yet again, I can tell from the main photo of the interesting monuments in Pisa.
Wish you a nice sunday,
Ike

Hi Luciano
Holidays near home this year! We can't even leave our state (hence my current series from the outback). A good and slightly different view in Pisa with the slightly obscured tower and good fun workshops.
cheers
Ian

Greeting.
nice place and old architecture, well demonstrated with nice colors, contrast and good text.
Beautiful facade and details, a good moment with visitors and clouds coming.
Good work with beautiful photos in the workshop, a dangerous virus changed everything.
I wish you a nice day off, all the best.
Paja.

COSTANTINO (116580) 2020-08-29 22:46

Hello dear luciano and have a nice sunday
you are too lucky to be able
to visit such a beautiful place
because of covid 19...
but the most important detail
here is that they guided you
to discover interesting places
where tourists dont go....
regards
Costantino

Ciao Luciano, gran bell'inizio della tua gita toscana, Carlo e Signora li trovo in gran forma, te sei un po' appesantito, guarda che cos� la torre la fai cadere... Eh la cucina toscana fa brutti effetti, peccato che sei astemio, che il chianti con la chianina � proprio un matrimonio d'amore, gran bel tris di foto, bravo, ciao Silvio

jemaflor (147224) 2020-08-29 23:08

Salut Luciano,
Un superbe ensemble architectural dont je garde d'excellents souvenirs de visite. Bien cadr� sous cet angle et parfaite nettet� et lumi鑢e bien saisie. Avec cet effet grand angle, c'est le D鬽e qui penche !

Ciao Luciano, Not especially original photo but it is not important. Fantastic to see you with Cristina and Carlo. I miss Carlo here on TE. I also meet them in Pisa. What memories! We had such a great time together.
Have a nice sunday

Hello Luciano,
Good to hear about this TE-meeting and this is a beautiful view from Pisa, the impressive architecture of the church is amazing, especially in this bright sunlight and against the large white clouds in the blue sky. There were still quite a few people, but I guess not nearly as many as in a normal summer.

Witaj Luciano!
A very interesting building, view makes impression.
I like it.
Good framing, colors and sharpness.
Nice scene from daily life.
Well done.
Good morning.
Krzysztof

holmertz (102774) 2020-08-30 1:22

Hello Luciano,
A famous place but from a slightly different angle than we usually see it. Even in Covid days it looks quite crowded. The people certainly enliven the view. This proves that you can take nice photos here even without the leaning tower. Didn't you try to convince Carlo to return to the site? ;-)
Best regards,
Gert

Miguel82 (47110) 2020-08-30 3:09

Luciano, everybody in the crowd doesn t wear masks i see but only some people. I never visited Pisa but i saw the famous tower from the road. The plazza that surrounds the cathedral attracts many visitors. The monument is grandiose. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

PaulVDV (62978) 2020-08-30 6:07

Hello Luciano,
Italy is currently one of the countries in Europe with the fewest new infections. So, time to see other parts of Italy and since you live in such a big country, there are always new places to discover.
In this photo, there seems to be just as many people on the Piazza dei Miracoli as before.
Beautiful combination of the Baptistry and the Cathedral.
Nicely presented with the statue and the decorated pedestals in the front.
You will still have to practice a lot to keep the leaning tower from leaning further. Practice a lot!
Best regards, Paul

Ciao Luciano,
Bien s鹯, un lieu incontournable , mais j'avais beaucoup appr閏i�.
Tu nous le pr閟entes avec un ciel magnifique, comme tu sais que je les aime.
Amicalement

jhm (211736) 2020-08-30 9:44

Hello Luciano,

I like this wonderful panorama view about the area.
Your picture is a nice detailed image.
Also pleasant contrast image of the area with all the people.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

adramad (73006) 2020-08-30 10:10

Hi Luciano.
A great angle that splendidly shows us the wonderful cathedral and not least the jewel of the baptistery, the light illuminated the building in a spectacular way and with the clouds behind the cathedral stands out in a wonderful way.
Very interesting also the photos of the WS
A magnificent color, which gives the image a lot of chromatic richness.
Very good management of lighting and sharpness.
Well done. I like it.
You have a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

dkmurphys (79209) 2020-08-30 10:20

Hello,
So, you like Tuscany? I love it, begining with the food and ending with the architecture and the hills. And, actually, Pisa is the city that I liked the less :)))

dale54 (17768) 2020-08-30 10:23

luciano my friend good evening and hello..this is truly one amazing shot,all your choice's look superb to me! love it! tfs dale

jean113 (27893) 2020-08-30 13:05

Hello Luciano, an lovely shot from Pisa.
The sharp quality is excellent. You seemed to have managed to fit a lot into this composition and from a good angle.
Despite Covid, there are many people around; they add colour and enliven your scene.
Thanks for all three shots.
Kind regards, Jean.

GyurMaster (24840) 2020-08-30 14:56

Hello Luciano,

Excellent postcard. The WS photos are excellent supplementary. The mask on the gent's face show us that it was taken recently.

Tfs and have a nice week!
Best Wishes,
Gy,

jmdias (115252) 2020-08-30 14:56

luciano

a nice view of the duomo, a not so usual view from this angle. I remember these angels in FG was in a collection of italian music I have. nice the images of you enjoying the moment there. yes, you are able to travel nowadays, but I should to wait the vaccination.. maybe I will have a travel around march... maybe... and in some place of Brazil, of course. Brazilians are like dirty sick dogs at this moment of this pandemia.

take care

jorge

abmdsudi (95869) 2020-08-30 22:08

Hi Luciano
That's a pretty grand architecture well defined with throng of visitors is the second fiddle as strong key point with cracking highlights and colours to alert the eye. Nice shot
Best regards

papagolf21 (152607) 2020-08-30 23:41

Bonjour, cher ami Luciano,
Je suis toujours 閠onn� devant la richesse du patrimoine architectural de l'Italie !
Cela d閜asse l'entendement en admirant l'閐ifice.
Magnifique.
Amiti閟.
Philippe

alvaraalto (42804) 2020-08-31 2:16

Hello Luciano,
It's always very inspiring to meet TE friends and especially in this Covid era that's extra attractive.
Of course a good idea to start with classic, traditional pictures of Pisa but I also look forward to the less visible places in this lopsided city for tourists.
Excellent presentation
Have a nice day, groet Rob

kasianowak (17676) 2020-08-31 9:40

Ciao Luciano
In the amusing WS it looks like the tower is supporting you, not the other way round... :-D Thanks for this, it made me smile.
It's one of my (many!) favourite places in Italy, I saw it first in 1993 during my hitchhiking trip around your country. It left a lasting impression.
Best wishes
Kasia

foxy (3461) 2020-08-31 13:22

Ciao Luciano,
Mamma mia..... you did it again.
You're full of surprises. I didn't know that you can do Tai Chi :-)
I love this iconic shot more than the leaning Pisa. The leaning Pisa is for somebody who is lost while doing Tai Chi. I must admit , you do have the style - very graceful movement.
The last time I was in Pisa , the weather wasn't nice. Look what a glorious day you've here, the light and the sky make this shot so stunning and the people just enjoying themselves - I don't see any wrong with that as long as it's open-air and followed safety precautions.
You've indeed chosen a wonderful holiday in Tuscany. A place I can only dream but I can only lean on you to show me in TE.
Thanks for sharing esp WS2 - the famous (funny Italian) tower.
Loong

worldcitizen (16104) 2020-08-31 16:30

Ciao Luciano,
The architecture in Tuscany is always impressive, and the two buildings you captured here are very beautiful. There do seem to be quite a few visitors in the area, but probably during non-COVID times the crowds would be much larger. I like the puffy clouds, too. Take care!

Ciao Luciano,
I considered to visit Pisa as well. Italy is still on the good list for travel from England. I thought if Greece holiday package does not work I would book last minute some flights to Florence. That would be so funny to meet you there accidentally.
Wonderful picture here with the famous structures in such a great light, and also set against the dark clouds in the distance.
Nice to see you with Carlo. It seems a double pleasure to meet a fellow trekker.
Beautiful presentation,
M

Hello Luciano,
An interesting picture from Pisa with amazing architecture. I like good composition, nice colours and good sharpness.
Great meeting with friends from TE.
Fine presentation.
Regards

Hello Luciano,
Fantastic edifice. One or two more degrees to the right, you could have fit it in the frame completely.
