Facade
Part of the facade of the Basilica seen thru an archway of the Old Town. Following on from yesterday's post, this is where the Festival of Music is held each August. Tiered seating is built for the audience, with a large platform for the musicians extending over the steps in front of the entrance to the church.
Oh Jilly, even the sunray came just to the right place at the right time for you! This photo is like a painting, love it.
ReplyDeletec'est beau et la porte fait un beau cadre autour
ReplyDeleteThe people and sunlight are placed perfectly. Very 'Italian' scene, but then, Menton's close!
ReplyDeleteJilly, you could have told us you took this picture in Italy ! Architecture, statues in their niche, pavements, arch, light rose shade ...... all reminds a delightful Italian square with a gentle way of life feeling.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Catherine.
ReplyDeleteJilly this is an exquisite photo. The framing with the arch in the foreground is just perfect.
Nicely framed scene with the round of the arch surrounding the square forms of the church. Perfect shot.
ReplyDeleteEverything has such a wonderful patina. And I love that open portal, that vertical rectangle of black. Jilly, you do such amazing work.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of hte above, perfect light, framing and composition. The human element makes it so much more interesting!
