Photographer’s Note
Dear friends,
yesterday I bought a scanner, this will allow me to show you some of my old shots, most of which were taken with little compact cameras. Watching them I clearly can see how my technique improved sharing my passion with you.
I will dedicate a theme to these image.
Infos on the cathedral by Wiki:
The Cathedral, consecrated in 1088, a work of Count Roger I adorned later (about 1163), by Bishop Jonathas, with a mosaic floor; it has a rose window and side portal of 1481. The interior, a basilica with nave and two aisles, contains columns said to come from a temple of Minerva and a fine mosaic pavement of 1166, with interesting representations of the months, Old Testament subjects and others. It has a crypt supported by forty-two marble columns. The same Count Roger also founded a Basilian monastery here, which, under Abbot Nicetas, became a place of study; its library was nearly all bought by Bessarion.

Ciao Giorgio. Estremizzate luci e ombre e la facciata ne paga un po' le conseguenze. Estrememante interessante il POV con riguardo alla direzione divergente delle linee prospettiche laterali.

Ciao Giorgio, bella vista dio questa meravigliosa facciata, luce difficile e penalizzante, continua alla grande con il romanico pugliese, ne vedremo delle belle, ciao Silvio
