at 12mm, 1/200 f/9.0, ISO 100, hand held. Isole Borromee, Italy.

Sulla sponda orientale del Lago Maggiore, nel comune di Leggiuno, sorge su uno sperone roccioso a strapiombo sul lago l'eremo di Santa Caterina del Sasso. Il complesso monastico è raggiungibile via lago tramite i frequenti battelli turistici oppure percorrendo una scenografica scalinata scavata nella roccia di ben 268 gradini. La torre campanaria alta 15 metri risale al trecento e ha base rettangolare. Nel XVI secolo le tre pre esistenti cappelle sono state unite alla chiesa di San Nicolao per formare l'attuale struttura dell'edificio sacro. Alla chiesa si ha accesso attraversando un porticato formato da quattro archi a tutto sesto affacciati sul lago, Stresa e le isole borromee. Dal 1914 il complesso è considerato monumento nazionale e dal 1996 è retto da frati Benedettini.

Hi Marco, a nice and proper shot of this scenic complex, all in a BN contrasted enough to give sharpness and three-dimensionality to the scene.
I like the subdivision of the frame that leaves room for the lake view, a background that gives further depth to the scene already accentuated by the bottom drainage lines below and the top profile of the roofs, all leading the eye to the side Of a building projecting overhanging the lake.
I like it a lot. Ivan

Thank you for the passage and the deep reading of this shot that also really likes me.
The framing was in part a necessity because on the right were crowds of tourists who did not want to resume.
A greeting.
Marco
