Duomo in Pistoia

Pistoia is a small, Tuscan town about twenty minutes from Florence.

The Duomo (cathederal) dates from the 12th century but is hard to

photograph because it is fronted by narrow strets on each side

instead of the usual grand piazza. Thus, geography led to this

composiiton ....

Very eye catching. Regards. John

I like the way the two buildings frame the details in the far wall. I also like the added details of the lamp and the clock

well framed thanks to tuscan builders ;) strong graphics!

Good eye Bill, very interesting texture. I wonder if the original is a b/w, or is it converted by you. In any event very beautiful. Pnina

Hi Pnina,thank you very much for your compliments. I use a digital camera so everything is in color to begin with and then I convert it. However, I did visualize this as B&W before I took it (which is not usually the case).

This is really very nicely composed. A treat to view, and the B&W fits the subject perfectly. I like that every bit of the frame is full of architecture.
