[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this from the top of Giotto's Belltower which is located next to the Duomo in Florence Italy.

This belltower was one of the most beautiful in Italy, and was an (extremely costly) invention of genius by Giotto which was created more as a decorative monument than a functional one. In 1334 the great artist was nominated overseer of the building site for the new cathedral and was commissioned to continue the construction. However, instead of concentrating on developing Arnolfo di Cambio's project for the Cathedral, Giotto preferred to create something of his very own: the belltower.

I climbed the 414 rock hewn steps to the top. It was quite a climb but I had the view mostly to myself.

It a really great place, I've been there myself but it was during the day so, I didn't experience this fantastic view. You controled the exposure well. Great photo :-)
Point later, OK???

Very interesting notes and good composition.

The twilight is a perfect moment for shots like these. It shows the architecture, the illumination, the pre-xmas-mood, the landscape and a lovely sky. In one word : all. TFS Julie
