Porto Paglia #2 - Fishermen's little church

In previous posts I have already spoken of old tuna factory of Porto Paglia and its transformation into a tourist resort in the '90s
In today's post are visible the beach, the little church of the tuna fishermen and coastal watchtower built by the Spaniards in the year ‘500.

The church stands on a rock, washed by the waves, which is approximately the size of the building.
The church can be accessed by boat from the beach landing in the courtyard that serves as a platform.
To reach it you walk through a shallow ocean, jumping from one rock to another.
It 's still in good condition thanks to recent renovations.

Only ruins unfortunately remain of the coastal watchtower, built with blocks of sandstone and constantly eroded by the sea.

Bonjour, cher Mario,
Un pur régal cette composition. Et puis, il y a cette église édifiée au pied de la falaise, faut assez rare pour être souligné.
Le cadrage est réalisé avec beaucoup de soin. Le rendu est parfait.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Ciao Mario, gran bella vista di mare, deliziosa la chiesina sulla roccia, fantastici colori e splendida luce, bravo, ciao Silvio

Excellent scenery image with amazing play of colors and contrasts. Very well done Mario.

chrislo (2173) 2012-05-17 1:53

Ciao Mario,
What a strange idea of building a church in a place that can't be reached easily. A really nice seascape with strong colours and perspective, and a good balance between the sea and the coast. The watchtower seems to be part of the rocky cliff that drops into the sea. A nicely framed composition.
Kind regards,
Christian

Bonjour Mario,

Les pieds dans le sable chaud, ce doit être merveilleux pour la photo, surtout quand l'endroit est aussi beau ou la montagne rencontre la mer.

Amicalement

Hello Mario - I should think the little church will eventually go the same way as they watch tower, I cannot believe that it does not get flooded each time the tide is high. A super shot with richly saturated colours and a feeling of isolation. Warm regards Rosemary

una bella immagine di una spiaggia che mi sembra selvaggia
ottima idea quella di riprendere la piccola chiesetta dei pescatori in fondo
come al solito i colori sono stupendi
ciao

bayno (16213) 2012-05-18 0:22

Ciao Mario,
fantastica luce e una resa cromatica eccezionale, ottimo lavoro in PP oltre che dietro la Camera, stupendo il posto e l'inquadratura con la bella diagonale della spiaggia, bellissima la chiesetta ben visibile grazie alla otima profondità, peccato per la torre...spero che pensino ad una ristrutturazione...anche se sarà difficile vista la posizione,
buona giornata,
Valter

Nice place for a church for fishermen but it looks like it's hard to reach during high tide. Great capture with good pov and dof with good details. Wonderful colors. Well done, tfs.

gosto muito do contraste de cores entre as encostas douradas e o mar. muito bom senso de oportunidade apanhando a onda no exato momento da arrebentação. lindos detalhes como aquela casinha e a rocha isolada. gosto da luz, da nitidez e do enquadramento. bem feito.

Ciao Mario,
esta imagen es muy sugerente, debido a la belleza de la playa desierta, la gran luz y los magníficos colores que podemos disfrutar en ella.
Me gusta el contaste gráfico de la pequeña iglesia de los pescadores entre las rocas del acantilado, y el efecto creado por la espuma de las olas, que aumenta la belleza de tu composición.
Excelente gestión de la exposición, en una foto muy brillante y atractiva.
Un abbraccio,
Josep

pierrefonds (48369) 2012-05-20 4:52

Hi Mario,

The distance between the beach and the horizon is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the cliff and of the church. The good luminosity is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Mario,

It is amazing to see that this little church can withstand all these high tides for years. A highly interesting and informative notes accompanies this lovely composition. This is a beautiful composition that complies fully with the golden ratio or the rule of thirds. I especially very much liked the well saturated color range and the clarity of this shot. Congratulations and thank you. Have a nice week.

Nice picture of the beach with good wwarm-cold colour contrast between the sand & the sea. The small piece of rock standing on its own is a good focal point. Like the triangle of the landmass on the left. Well done!

Ciao Mario,

A well judged pov gives good, angled lines and a natural movement from r/l across the frame.
You have used the rules of composition very well, with nicely saturated colours and strongly positioned elements.
A great advert for the beauty and serenity of this part of Italy.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Ciao Mario,
un quadro meraviglioso con una bellissima e ben composta vista della spiaggia, la roccia e del mare. La chiesetta `e molto ben piazzata nel quadro attirando l' attentione, bellissima ed orgogliosa in mezzo al ambiente selvaggio ma incantevole. La prospettiva e la chiarezza sono ottime, lo splendore della luce stupendo. Mi piace tantissimo l' atmosfera e la gradevolezza e la vivacit`a dei colori. Complimenti e grazie!
Tanti saluti,

Ciao Mario,
this is a wonderful and very well composed impression of an interesting place, accompanied by a nice note. It is so typical for the Mediterranean, you have captured this special mood excellently! The bright light and the colors are really wonderful. It is this deep blue sea that makes the image very attractive! My compliments!
