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.
