Spoleto Ponte delle Torri Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Bridge of the Towers is along 236 meters and high 76 and is constituted from powerful arched pointed separated from huge pylons in stone on which runs the road and the channel for the water dug in top to the massive wall. Its dating is not sure, but the more probable hypothesis is that the building, on an ancient roman aqueduct, goes back to the first half of 1200. For many centuries it has been the highest bridge in masonry of the world. In the photo a particular one of the arched one appears particular centers them and of the made panoramic opening in the course of 1800. On the background of arched the beautifulst Romanesque church of Saint Peter.

“I was been to Spoleto and also on the aqueduct, than in the same time mountain is bridge between one and the other. The ten arched that they overhang to all goes it them, constructed of mattoni, resist sure through the centuries while the water slides perennial from a head to the other of Spoleto”

Johann Wolfgang Goethe

Hi Silvio
I really like the composition here, with the symmetry and the repeated arches, the smaller one atop the bigger one - both used as natural frames. The church is well centred in the larger arch, and the figures standing in the higher arch add human interest and scale.
One very small point - maybe the image could be slightly sharper? This may be down to resizing for TrekEarth.
Great shot.
Peter

Bellissimo POV.
Ottima l'idea di inserire le persone nell'arco superiore.. mi fanno sentire più 'vicino' e meno distaccato dal soggetto.
Ciao,
Silvio

Molto bella l'idea Silvio: una vera foto d'arte.
La foto è poco nitida altrimenti sarebbe perfetta!
Ciao

Hi Silvio,
this picture is a bit small but this is really a good compo.
Excellent framing and good presence of people enjoying the view.
The light is good as well.

hi silvio
I like this one. Fun and interesting with the people in the upper part of the compo. Also the chirch in the arch is a top detail and important for the total impression. Interesting work.

Ciao Silvio, questa foto ha una bella composizione davvero!
Hai avuto un occhio ottimo nel taglio ed funzionano perfettamente le persone nell' arco in piccolo..
Un pò un peccato per la qualità..
Mgari domani provo a fare un WS, vediamo se si riesce a migliorare un pò..tanto per provare a recupare qualcosa in termini di nitidezza..
A domani
Valeria
