One from the archives, an urban car park in Nottingham. This was taken in 2018 - I was just attracted to all the lines in this one.

La bellissima scala all'interno dei Musei Vaticani. Uno scatto che può sembrare banale e semplice, ma che in realtà ha richiesto un certo impegno, in primo luogo ho dovuto attendere che la scala fosse il meno affollata possibile prima di scattare, e poi per riuscire a scattare a mano libero con un tempo di esposizione sufficiente per evitare il mosso e con un diaframma che restituisse una buona profondità di campo, ho dovuto alzare gli ISO fino a 5000. Alla fine ho optato poi per una conversione in bianco e nero.
Hidden almost completely by the big instrument is diminutive young lady, probably on her way to concert. I played with the image. A little bit.

In 1630, that is precisely what the Venetian Senate wrestled with, in response to a devastating outbreak of the plague.
Despite prayers and processions to existing churches, the plague took nearly 150,000 lives in Venice and the surrounding lagoons. During a wave of the plague 55 years prior, the city commissioned the architect Palladio to design the Redentore church. So, it was deemed appropriate to call on an even higher power the second time around - the Madonna herself.
As a result, the Santa Maria della Salute (featured prominently here) was constructed. To this day, the city officials still parade from San Marcos to the Salute on the Feast of the Presentation of the Virgin (November 21), in gratitude for deliverance from the plague.
Visiting Venice in winter has upsides and downsides - fewer crowds, more flooding, frequent overcast skies. The latter made sunrise photos along the Grand Canal less colorful than I would have hoped, and thus this monochrome image was created. I like the feel of this view in black and white. It captures the melancholy of winter and the solitude of workers commuting about the city early in the morning.
Certainly, there are seasons when the lighting for photographers is better, but never pass on an opportunity to see Venice.
