A stormy day, a photo from Turin, Piedmont

Photographer's Note

A stormy day in the Park of Valentino, where is the Rococo fountain called "of Twelve Months".
Its real name is "Fontana dei Ceppi" (Fountain of the Stumps)and was inaugurated in 1898.
The nickname "Twelve Months" is due to the 12 statues all around the basin, someone of which is visible.

Ciao Elena
come ho già detto altre volte, non sono un grande amante dell'HDR, ma questa è una bella foto, l'HDR è ben gestito ed il risultato è pregevole.
Ottima anche la composizione.
Buon inizio settimana
Carlo

Ciao Elena,
The stormy sky and the little light have created a high dramatic atmosphere here.
What a fountain! So many statues. Beautiful silhouettes of the branches of the trees with that threatening sky on the background.
Best regards, Paul
