Buongiorno Joao
mi piace molto la luce che arrotonda le cupole della chiesa, il colore bianco contrasta piacevolmente contro il cielo ed il tetto rosso.
Buona domenica
Carlo

Bonjour Joao,
J'aime beaucoup le graphisme de l'ensemble. La rencontre des lignes droites et courbes de ces toits, le beau contrôle de la balance des blancs et le beau toit de tuile. En attendant la cigogne .
Amicalement
Serge
