[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is Gangi, a city in Sicily. The incredible thing for me was seeing how the architecture in Sicily blended into the landsacape. In this case the buildings of the city blanketed the mountain in such a way that the architecture didn't detract from the landscape at all.

Hello Roger! It seems that we like the same places! I just love Sicily (I was there for a week in 2005) As you said the architecture blends with the landscapes there. Very nice composition and great details, well done!

Hello Roger
I leave the portrait before for another moment because I couldn't resist to this wonderful landscape in b/w. It's fantastic: the light, the detail, the composition. A superb work. Congrats my friend, mb

Very cool panorama Roger. I especially like the black and white image. You're right about the village blending into the landscape. It also strikes me how dense the buildings are in this ancient place.

Keep those panoramas comin'

Hi Roger

evocative landscape, best Roger!
It is before the time that I see Gangi, to the return in I will visit it to Sicily.

Wow, Roger !

What a wonderful shot of a beautiful landscape, not tio much contrast, unlimited grey gradation. Well done !

Have a nice day, Michel

Great shot Roger. I too like the cluster sense of the village. There's an interesting history as to why that's so. It seems that after centuries of being occupied/invaded/conquered from all sides of the Mediterranean, Sicilians have clustered together and would have to wake up early to get to the fields. There are no real farms that one lives on because of the dangers from abroad. They commute from the villages. This is also an explanation for the sense of Familia that's been the stereotyped in film etc. I hope I don't offend anyone with this comment, being a descendent of Sicilian immigrants myself, I just find it very interesting sociological history and your photograph depicts it very, very well.

Kind regards,
Jim
