We had a one night stop in Pisa before going to San Marino. I wake up very early to take some good picture in the morning light. But as you could see the Duomo and Leaning Tower of Pisa where under heavy clouds and a lot of rain.

From www.italiantourism.com:
Construction on the famed bell tower began in 1173, when Pisa was a powerful maritime republic. But it was a monument built on shifting soil. The tower's south side began to sink even before workers completed its third level. The tower was finished in 1360, still stubbornly tilting - and increasing its fame. Galileo is said to have conducted his revolutionary experiments with falling objects from the off-kilter belfry. The landmark is part of a trio of buildings that dot Pisa's Campo dei Miracoli, an immense field of lush grass.
The Duomo, its massive Baptistery, and the Leaning Tower - all majestic, creamy marble structures - attest to the city's former glory and epitomize the Romanesque architecture of northern Italy.

Excellent composition, Fried! This is my first time seeing that half sinking Pisa with "the whole neighborhood". The atmosphere was fascinating. Well done.
TFS,

bel quadretto di Piazza dei Miracoli sotto la pioggia con buona gestione della luce e dei colori.

Hello Achim,
A very good composition with excellent perspective. The rainy weather adds to the mood and helps boost the colours. Very good clarity.

Halo Achim
Prima mein freund wieder und dieser ist fur 'ne nianse besser
Bravo
Grus,Bratislav

Hallo Achim,
It is a sight very known but it continues being spectacular. Good setting with an angle very adapted to catch the architectural beauty of the Duomo and the Tower of Pisa, under the rain and a gray sky that contrasts with such a green grass.
I like the deep perspective that you have achieved, that gives a great dynamism to the image.
A beautiful work, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep

Hallo Achim. PISA. Wenn das kein Aufhänger ist. Sonst sieht man den Turm fast immer isoliert als einzelnes Gebäude. Du hast eine sehenswerte Lösung gefunden und auch die Umgebung gekonnt miteinbezogen. Trotz - oder gerade wegen - des regnerischen Tages wirken die Farben sehr frisch. Insgesdamt hervorragend. Viele Grüße, Wolfgang.

Bad luck on the weather...or not - I actually love this wet mood and the soft contrast with the grey sky. Excellent perspective.

Hi Achim

A classic view of the Leaning Tower, & noteworthy, as all the postcards I've seen, have blue skies. Excellent diffused light, with subtle reflections in the wet pavement. Tfs!

Hello Achim,

Very beautiful composition for shows this famous place. A composition wich includes coloureds elements .In spite of the rain, good use of light and pleasant colors.
Best regards,
Roger

Bonjour, cher Achim,
Eh bien, contrairement à toute attente, cette photo est très réussie. Elle donne une autre dimension à ces monuments. Ciel gris, sol luisant, taches de couleurs de vêtements, tout concourt à une bonne photographie.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi, Achim. The famous Campo dei Miracoli. Unfortunately, no miracle as far as the weather is concerned... Your composition makes up for it with the nice diagonal line of the pavement crossing the whole picture and bringing out the main subject. The Duomo and tower stand well out against the grey sky. The early tourists add some contrast and give the scale. Maybe a grad grey filter would have helped to get some more contrast in the sky.
Have a nice day,
Philippe

Achim bonjour.
Ce ciel au-dessus de Pise n'est pas habituel mais la photo a beaucoup de charme parce qu'elle met en valeur l'architecture de grande valeur de ce site. Bonne composition avec la perspective de la rue. Les parapluies de couleurs font un point d'accroche dans cette dominante grise.

Hi Achim,
The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail.Beautiful architectural image,

Hi, my friend!
Yes, I remember. Some years ago I was in Pisa. It is very interesting city. I like your oryginal composition. Good colours and light. Well done.
Marek

Hello Achim!
A pretty well-known place! A typical view!
However, I wouldn't say it's new for me, because with this cloudy and grey sky the white buildings were completely enhanced and they're soooo beautiful!
TFS - Congratulations!

Hi Mr President
Finally the rain was your friend this time because there is no disturbing crowd on your frame.
Very nice point of view.

Hej Achim!
Very curious climate and place. I like the colours and light. Good work.

Bonsoir Achim
L'architecture se confond presque avec la teinte du ciel ce qui donne un caractère particulier à cette image.Le vert de la pelouse donne un excellent contraste à la composition.
Bonne soirée.
Amicalement
Gildas
Good evening Achim
The architecture merges almost with the colour of the sky what gives a special character to this image. The green of the lawn gives an excellent contrast to the composition.
Good evening.
In a friendly way
Gildas

Hi Achim.

With pics like this one, I remember my lovely Easter in The Italian Tuscany, a lovely place for sure.

The atmosphere was impressive too!

Hi Achim,
Good idea to include the whole cathedral as well as the iconic tower because all the white marble offsets the rainy day sky.
The church contast wonderfully with the lush green grass and the shiny rain soaked street. Excellent note as well.

Hallo Achim,
selten sieht man ein so gutes Bild von diesem Meisterwerk. Dir ist es gelungen mit der sanften und gleichmäßigen Belichtung die feine Marmorverkleidung in ihrer vollen Pracht wiederzugeben und auch der dunkle Hintergrund passt hervorragend.
Mit der Karte hast Du etwas verwechselt und den Dom nach Rom verlegt. Hier die richtigen Koordinaten: 43.72306/10.39639.
Viele Grüße
Laszlo

Really nice shot Achim,
with good contrast of colors...

Andrea

Excellent capture despite the cloudy day. You have carefully chosen the perfect exposure for this shot. I also like the contrast of the green grass from the white structure. Nice work, very nice.

Hello Achim,
Nice view of this famous place, very good framing and perspective, and good management of the light.

Unusual large view on Pisa, unusual grey and rainy postcard. Produces finally an... original post ! With a strong contrast, despite the clear white sky.

Hola Achim.
A classical shot of the Duomo and Leaning Tower of Pisa but with one exception, the cloudy and rainy day with the wet street, something different of what we usually see in TE, for that reason I think you got an unique shot of the famous place. Well done.
Best regards.

Hello Achim
Like the POV showing the Duomo & the leaning tower, with a well built diagonal of the green lawn. Obviously it was drizzling going by the wet road...like the contrast of the white monuments against the dark sky. Excellent work!

Hi Achim!
Good pov to show the famous Pisa Tower. The composition is good, especially with those people on the right and the dark sky and rainy weather. I like the atmosphere.

Hi Achim,

The point of view takes us toward the tower of Pisa and the church in the foreground. The rain and the cloudy sky is giving a good contrast between the colors. The details and colors of the church and tower are clear and precise. Have a nice day.
