Via del Indipendenza

Via del Indipendenza

Uploaded: July 01, 2010

Description

This is one of the main streets within center city of Bologna, Italy. About a half mile forward, is the huge city square and just behind me is the massive train station. This is early morning and there appears to be no activity. Actually, all the people are walking under the porticos and I caught the traffic pattern just right so the traffic did not appear in the image. Bologna is the home of the oldest and largest university in Europe so there is always activity. By Eurostar, Rome is three hours south, Florence is only 27 minutes and Venice is an hour and a half to the north. It's a great city, with the best food Italy has to offer.

Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 3125/1000000 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 100, FocalLength: 35.00 mm, Model: NIKON D60

Danny- Icredible classic look that is so beautiful. I am in awe of the gorgeous colors, the beauty of the designs of the buildings, that gorgeous glow. But what I am especially in awe of is the composition and depth of the picture with the most perfect pov. Just love that lamp, the stone rail and the amazing look you accomplished. This is so beautiful my friend.
