* This shot would I think defy any straightening software. Both The Two Towers are leaning very significantly. At the heart of the city they are the symbol of Bologna. They are located at the intersection of the roads that lead to the five gates of the old ring wall (mura dei torresotti). The taller one is called the Asinelli while the smaller but more leaning tower is called the Garisenda. Their names derive from the families, which are traditionally credited for their construction between 1109 and 1119. Their construction was a competition between the two families to show which was the more powerful family.
The Asinelli tower rises 318 feet (97 metres) and slopes seven feet to the West. The smaller tower Garisenda once rose to 197 feet but it had 39 feet lopped off the height in the mid fourteenth century for safety reasons. Garisenda leans full 11 feet to the North East. It is possible to climb the 425 steps to the top of the Asinelli Tower but I did not risk my knees
It hard to imagine but Dante knew these towers well and are cited several times by in the Divine Comedy
Considering their size they proved rather difficult to photograph and this is probably the best of the many shots I took of them
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED AND SO MUCH MORE INTRESTING THAN JUST GIVING A FAVE

50 of 50 States ... Maine & Vermont were my last two ... so this New England fall foliage trip was with the intent I could check visiting all 50 United States off my want to do list.
What an awesome country! I'm blessed.
I find beauty in each country and place I visit, but there is nothing like home - God Bless the USA!

Glasgow's SEC Armadillo, originally known as the Clyde Auditorium. It opened on 1st January 2000 and hosts theatre, music and convention events for up to 3,000 people.
It was designed by architects Foster and Partners and was renamed after becoming affectionately known locally as The Armadillo, due to its resemblance to the animal of the same name.
A local office building that I think just has the most wonderful lines and design elements. This is another shot I took from the end side elevation. It is clad in wood on the side and enclosed by metal all over. There are so many linear elements on this buildings design.

I've been waiting to snap this for a long time. Waiting to see when the light was best etc. Still not sure that this does it justice..
