Hi Marco,
Special impression of this little church. The shaddows makes it interesting. A fine POV, quite special too. Regarding your note: love it U2 for favorite :-)

Hi Marco,
A tree with the roots strongly anchored in the ground... a small church which seems suspended in the airs, at the edge of a precipice...in a play of shadows and light... what could be to better illustrate this note which says that the love is a Risk as much as a Certainty, a constant search (une quête) for the Light to deepest of oneself and other.

Photo and note = A perfect match, here!
I love that!

Congratulations! Annie

beautiful capture of this old church, the tree adds to it, nice clolors and shades

Hello Marco. Very interesting note and thanks for sharing with us. This little architecture is just stunning against the light and shade. the big tree adds dynamic to this shot against the beautiful sky. Best regards. jusni

Great note Marto!!!
And of course, excellent picture...as I told you last time...
I would have enhanced more the contrast created by the shadows on the churc's wall.

ciao

Hi Marco,
some beautiful contrasts make this image impressive.
the clear bright blue of the sky and the shadow on eglise and tree.
the round shape of old big tree and the cubic of old stone eglise.
the present lighted by strong sunray and the past suggested by oldness of eglise and tree in the shadow.
and the simplicity in visual image and the mess of idealistic note...
thank you,
Akihisa

Hi Marco,
beautiful show of the light and shadows.Congratulations my friend.TFS.Necla.:)later.

Hi dear friend,
your shots are giving us a incredible view.
The angle of shot is perfect so that you have both a great FG and a BG.
Beautiful Maestro!
Best wishes,
Ioana

Hi Marco,
You've compose this well using low angle and close making the tree and church look quite bold ... nice technique. Well composed ... I like your innovative style in making your notes :) Tfs
Cheers,
Renier

HI Marco
Joli la petite elgise ou trop souvent les voeux prononce sont rompu. The big tree no doubt serves as a reminder to anyone getting married that with marriage comes.... a noose.
So much for my humour.Definitely a good shot
Dot

hello Marco

Small chapel hiding under a big tree, interesting pov. Looks like basement on the slope side? Interesting note.

Hello Marco,
I notice the architecture, quite unusual for a church!
The point of view works well, and inclusion of the huge old tree does good for the composition...
Fine details and a great feeling of depth!

Excellent posting, booth the photo and the note creates a special atmosphere.
About the photo, i like it very much, well composed,
with an impressive POV and great colors and light. TFS
Best regards,
Sorna

Ciao Marco :o)

Curious note, I must admit I don't really understand very well ...
Nevertheless, nice shot of this 'petite église', lovely games of shadows on its wall ... soft mood and great colours. I enjoy the POV you choose.
Big bisous
Marylou

I have seen these type, one exactly like this at ''Plage Ste Croix''
Cote Blue near Marseille
Good shot my friend
John

ps
For others:
*Calanques*

Sort of ' little fjords, like in Norway , but in liliput / miniature

This is an emotional capture, perfect timing with the sun, to be alble to catch all the shaddows! The view behind the chapel is breathtaking and such a contrasting sight to the foreground!
I'm a U2 fan, so I enjoyed the track very much, without even saying it... I found the dialogue in the note very relevant to the posting and very inspired!
TFS!
Have a great we!

complimenti sERGIO

Hello Marco,
Beautiful photo with great colours and depht, and an excelent compo.
Your note is fantastic, and your choice for U2 pleases me a lot, beacause I love them, and I'm back from Bono and Edge's hotel in Dublin (The Clarenace) that I recomend if you're thinking visit Dublin, a great and happy town, with wonderfull people.

This is a real beauty, Marco. I particularly like the wee bit of underexposure and the strong light/shade contrast. I'm not sure about the empty space on the right though... did you try using the tree as a natural frame there?
I like the sense of depth on the left, both vertically and horizontally ;o).

Ciao Marco
Two lone friends taking of "good olde tymes" when many people coming from down hill gathered around!
What a strong impression of solitude depicted by large shaded areas on ancesters!
Ciao, amico.

Ciao, Marco :)

Impressive... Excellent photo with nice play od light and shadows, and complete post so touching... Perfect, as always :)

Regards,
Slavica

Ciao Marco,
Beautiful capture !
I was at the precisely same place last week. It is very close from Piana. If I can remember, it's not a church but a funeral vault.
I am more interested by photography than stories around it that prevent the one who looks at it to evaluate and feel what an image can show. Shouldn't a photo speak by itself ?
Have a nice day and thanks for your comment on my Scandola photo.
Sylvie

Hi Marco...this is a nice shot...like so many of your shots the color saturation is very nicely managed...good work.
