Venice Cruise Ship by Ian Bramham

Posted on 2013-11-15

Photographed well before dawn, this is a long exposure photo of a huge cruise ship making its way along the lagoon in Venice. In the foreground is a row of gondolas moored near St Mark's Square.

It was announced last week in the Italian media that cruise ships like this one that exceed 96,000 tonnes would be banned from passing so close to St Marks Square.

Histoire d'ombres by Jean Fraipont

Souvent, l'oeil est attiré par l'éclairage des fenêtres qui laissent imaginer la vie derrière elles. Ici, c'est une analogie de tons et un dialogue entre intérieur et extérieur qui m'a fait déclencher.

Walking along the streets of Catania at night you were wrapped in the orange glow, in the soft, tender breeze and in a mysterious aura of the city, which only a few hours ago at this very location was filled with people and noise and an array of activities.

Fridays For Future by Jaya

Posted on 2019-04-12

Trieste is a small city in the north-east Italy. It's been a crossroad mostly because of his port and the fact of being a border place, where common people was used to speak italian, german, slovene and croatian. A countryside at the centre of two world wars with millions of dead. A city whose people has been defeated by nationalisms, the closing of factories and pollution. This shot: march 15th,2019, Fridays For Future. People alive!

An ancient tower by Longroute

Posted on 2013-12-13

The tower and the church of Sant'Isidoro in Teulada, south Sardinia.

It's the only square base watching tower found in Sardinia (all the others are round) and the scholars don't agree about the building date. Some says during Byzantine epoch and others in 1600. The small church behind was built in 1600 in honour of Sant'Isidoro the protector of farmers. A feast is held here each year the day of the saint.

Pantheon 2 by grouser

Posted on 2015-05-21

The Pantheon is an extraordinary building and despite its great age (nearly 2.000 years old this view through the open hole in the roof could hold its own against the modern light sculptures of James Turell and yet that is just the light source for its stunning interior. I just sat and stared upwards in awe.

Montepulciano is built along a narrow limestone ridge. A long, winding street called the Corso climbs up to the main square, which crowns the summit of the hill. The town is encircled by walls and fortifications designed by Antonio da Sangallo the Elder in 1511.

Le 24 août 79, une violente éruption du Vésuve provoque l'enfouissement de la riche cité romaine de Pompéi sous une pluie de cendres volcaniques. La chute des cendres continue jusqu'au 27 août.
Les fouilles du xvIIIe siècle ont permis d'exhumer une cité florissante, dans un état de conservation inespéré. Lors de cette éruption, Pompéi comptait 25 000 habitants.

Lui n’aura de cesse de rappeler qu’elle constitue une forme d’activité humaine véritablement universelle : pas plus qu’il n’existe de société sans langage, il n’en existe aucune qui d’une façon ou d’une autre ne fasse cuire certains au moins de ses aliments.

BIENNALE 2005 1/3 by Marjolein

Posted on 2020-01-10

In 2005 I went to the Biennale in Venice. A large art exhibition. Although not real art, I really liked this poster.

I still had to learn everything about photography. I had a small compact Nikon camera with me and that didn't yield very nice pictures. Much moved, because it was too dark in the halls.
This photo is not perfect, but it does bring back some nice memories.
