[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 828541, member: 53455"] [B]The Madonna del Poggio in Saorge (2022)[/B] In the border region between France and Italy, near the towns of Menton (France) and Ventimiglia (Italy), the Alps come right up to the Mediterranean coastline and fall very sharply into the sea, with few very narrow and enclosed valleys. It can take quite a long time to drive between villages that can almost see each other and would be quite close if one were traveling as the bird flies. In the minuscule village of Saorge, the small Romanesque church known as the Madonna del Poggio (“Madonna of the Well”) was built around 1050. Its most striking part is its amazing, tall and thin bell tower that can be seen for miles up and down the valley, its blond stones contrasting with the lush vegetation. As you can see in this photo, this proud tower stands just like an Italian [I]campanile,[/I] next to the church, attached to it but not integrated within its structure. Depending on how you count, it numbers seven or eight levels, which is truly outstanding for anything built shortly after Year 1000, and in such an out-of-the-way locale. If, at the time, I’d had the AI-powered version of Photoshop, I would have been able to “disappear” the two ugly cars that pollute my photo. Sometimes, I am tempted to go back and re-process some old photos, although I have made it a rule not to do that! Nikon Z7 II, Nikkor 19mm, ƒ/4 PC-E tilt-shift lens. Gitzo tripod, Benro geared head.
