Bevagna

Photographer's Note

Bevagna is a town and comune in the central part of the Italian province of Perugia, (Umbria), in the flood plain of the Topino river.
Bevagna is 25 km (15 mi) SE of Perugia, 8 km west of Foligno, 7 km north-north-west of Montefalco, 16 km south of Assisi and 15 km (9 mi) north-west of Trevi.
It has a population of c. 5,000, with the town of Bevagna proper accounting for about half of that.
The city was originally an Etruscan-Oscan settlement. Around 80-90 BC it became a Roman municipium, called Mevania. In the 3rd-4th centuries AD it was probably an episcopal see and, after the Lombard conquest, the seat of a gastald in the Duchy of Spoleto.
After the year 1000 it was a free commune. In 1152 Frederick Barbarossa set it on fire. In 1249 it was again destroyed by the Count of Aquino. In 1371-1439 it was ruled by the Trinci family. Later it was part of the Papal States until the unification of Italy.

A short walk from the Forum are the remains of a temple with columns and pilasters, a nearby spa building, which remains the frigidarium, adorned with black and white mosaic, of exquisite workmanship and elegant, inspired by the marine world.

Hello Silvio,
A well chosen point of view shows the architecture of this temple to good effect; the paving stones in the foreground help give the image depth. Very good colours and sharpness. Have a good weekend.

Ciao Silvio,

J'aime beaucoup cette composition. Le point de vue donne une légère contre plongée qui donne de l'ampleur au bâtiment. Le ciel polarisé est magnifique.

Bon samedi

Hi Silvio...
very nice architectural shot with a low POV...the deep blue sky work as a BG here...like the textures of the decayed wall & FG road...
good DOF controlled with nice color contrast & sharpness...nice play of light through the frame also...
Happy Sunday...

Bel angle prise, la lumière qui permet d'apprécier les moindres détails des vieilles pierres du temple, j'aime le choix du cadrage, les couleurs vert et bleu qui lui donne encore plus de valeur
Beau dimanche mon ami

Ciao Silvio, questa è una foto da esposizione, molto superba la rende l' angolatura di ripresa dove sei stato abilissimo ad inquadrarla. Bellissimi i colori con l' azzurro che "incorona" il tutto.
Un saluto ed augurio di buona domenica a te e Giuliana ... M & D
