Tower by the sea sent on May 14, 2014 (18:34) by Duri. 15 comments, 975 views.

, 1/6400 f/2.8, ISO 100, hand held. Molfetta, Italy.

Vista laterale dal Torrione Passari di Molfetta (Ba). La costruzione fu voluta dall'Università di Molfetta nel 1512. Inizialmente era una cannoniera, infatti ci sono ancora le aperture per posizionare i cannoni. In seguito però divenne una torre di vedetta perché arrivando in cima al torrione si riusciva a vedere tutto l'orizzonte a 360°. Il torrione si presenta maestoso e compatto avente forma di un "maschio". Alla base le mura sono massicce fino a uno spessore di cinque metri che man mano diminuisce fino al cordone da dove si sale fino alla sommità. Il tetto è la parte sovrastante da dove si ha una visione spettacolare. Nella parte centrale ci sono tre cannoniere disposte nelle tre direzioni dell'orizzonte. La scoperta della polvere da sparo verso la fine del XV rivoluzionò le forme di difesa delle città; infatti il torrione cambiò la sua forma. La primitiva torre era a base pentagonale e poco più elevata dell'attuale torrione. Adesso la forma del Passari è cilindrica per non offrire facile bersaglio ai colpi di cannone nemici. (cit. Rana D./Uva G.) - A tutt'oggi il torrione viene utilizzato come centro per l'arte contemporanea. #Mare #BiancoeNero #BlackandWhite

Hello Vincent, I really like the choice of composition and the background blurred as you have already said. The caption is also important and it helps to know not only the subject being filmed, but also "how" works of the author clicks.

For those who want more information I enclose the following link to the old town of Molfetta, where the plant can be seen very well the position of the tower:

I was trying to take a break from the forum, but seeing the shots of my region back the urge to go back!

Greetings!

Raphael, thank you so much of appreciation. The link you posted is perfect and very clear:

Above is denoted in the upper right on the sea of ??small semi-circle representation of the tower and the particular and unique form of the old town as you well know "herringbone".

I hope it is just a fleeting moment;-)
