[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Our cruise on the Mediterranean not only went to Pisa (Livorno), but also to Rome. In Rome the twin-church Santa Maria can be found.

Are those two Santa Marias really the same? are they really twins?

No, they aren't.

The left one is called "Santa Maria dei Miracoli" and the one on the right is called "Santa Maria in Montesanto". Ofcourse you knew this already. ;-)

They were build in 1680 by order of Paus Alexander VII.
The architect was Carlo Rainaldi.

Hello Joop.

Interesting architecture, well presented.

Very nice compo, Joop. And a beautiful city too, don't you think? I didn't really like the Piazza del' Popolo that much, though... The three fountains there are a bit "overdone", and I really prefer the Piazza Navona.
Still, these churches are very beautiful, as are most churches in Rome. Excellent DoF here, the people also show the dimension of the buildings.
I'd have cloned out the bird between the towers of the SM in Montesanto, it's a bit distracting IMO.
Anyway, TFS

Hello Joop,
perfect symmetrical compo and nice colors.
Well done!
Jitka

Piazza Popolo?? zoiets was het toch?
Wat is het een fantastische stad he... Roma....
Een paar jaar geleden zijn Rob en ik daar 5 dagen geweest. Echt heerlijk relaxed. Alle bezienswaardigheden lopend bezocht. Ons hotel lag om de hoek bij het Vaticaan en deze Piazza was daar ook dichtbij...

Mooie foto Joop. Mooie, eerlijke kleuren al zit er wel iets van ruis in de lucht...

An amazing picture for someone such as I who sees it as an architectural dream. Something that would be a great idea today but hard to do...yet back when this was built, obviously no problem. Good image of horizontal thing!

Hallo Joop.
Lijkt mij best moeilijk, om op zondagmorgen te beslissen welke kerk 'te nemen'. haha
Prachtige foto. Had ik nooit van gehoord of gezien.
Fijne zondag.

Ha Joop,

Mooie foto uit het analoge tijdperk, begrijp ik. Binnenkort zijn de rolletjes een collecters item.
Gaat alles goed met jullie? Wordt het niet tijd voor een digitale cruse? Kun je gelijk een exotisch petje kopen.

Hartelijke groet,

Henk.

Hi dear friend,
I didn't knew about those beautiful churches. Stunning architecture. Good angle of shot. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Best wishes.

Beautiful capture Joop! Sharp with good DOF, well composed, excellent saturation.
Josine

Echt typisch - nooit van gehoord, maar wel bijzonder - zit gewoon te kijken of jij geen foefje hebt uitgehaald - maar nee dus Joop.
Voor een niet zo wide angle heb je toch mooi een wijds overzicht neergezet hier.
Genieten.
