In the tunnel, a photo from Milan, Lombardia

Photographer's Note

A view of yesterday afternoon, driving in the Parco del Ticino, a large Regional Park on the Western side of Milan, comin' back home after a long long lunch in a wonderful restaurant in a middle of the nature...and the nothing all around.

This are the autumnal colours of lower Lombardy in this days, just tones of brown and when we are happy with a beautiful sky...really often the sky is part of the brown world!

Anyway yesterday was a beautiful day, sunny and not cold, with 12-13° at noon, without cold wind.

We had a great lunch, with typicall Milanese and Lombardia dishes.

Italy?:)) Looking at the shot with the row of trees I thought it's Flanders...:) Great light, I'd maybe turn the camera a bit to the right to have this "corridor" more to the edge of the frame...

Cheers
Alexander

Hi Paolo,
Aptly titled ... this is a superb composition. The combination of warm lighting, lateral lines from the trees, and the 'leading line' created by the road is just a fantastic combination. Well captured ... excellent work! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Good way to make this typical setting along the road with the trees in their naked exposure this time of the year Paolo.
The lunch menu .. uhmm... simply top I guess.

Jeppo (17645) 2007-11-26 3:11

Allora,

per quanto riguarda quello che ti sei scofanato avresti dovuto farti tutto il parco del ticino a piedi per digerire...sempre che tutto sto ben di dio non ti sia stato fornito in versione DEMO (ossia assaggini giusto per farti vedere il cibo...non mangiare)

per quanto riguarda la foto...direi che la prospettiva ι ottima e la luce autunnale molto calda. ottima location per una passeggiata romantica!
(sperando che il troppo cibo non abbia dato il lΰ ad una sinfonia di rutti :) - scherzo ovviamente!|

Hello paolo,

Almost a picture out of Flanders Belgium with these high trees.
Splendid with the low sun between the branches, great perspective and depth through the long way between the trees, very well done. Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice week,
John.

Hello Paolo. The photo pleases me (and my wife also). The graphic organization of the photo convinces. The blue sky and the evening light complement each other very well. A worth seeing picture. Best regards, Wolfgang.

cunejo200 (7281) 2007-11-26 7:19

Hello Paolo,
The row of sturdy trees along the lead-in road, the evidence of fall's last hurrah, and the blue sky all make this photo so pleasing to view. Best regards, Danilo

Hi Paolo!
If the asphalt would be water in a canal this would be a typical"Lukie"image.
It must have been nice driving this road with this wonderful warm light.
A great shot with amazing depth,wonderful warm tones ,taken from a great POV.
Thanks for stopping there and taking this nice shot.
Regards,Leo

Hi Paolo,
I really like this shot - the late evening golden colors are stunning and are nicely offset by the darker shadows along the path. Good contrasts and a very good image perspective. Fine work and TFS. Gerald

Hi Paolo,
I love the perspective of the road leading us in and the tall trees lining it are great. Beautiful light and I also like the other tight rows of trees in the background. A lovely image.
Regards
Wanda

Bella foto, ben composta, colori potenti, contrasto pertinente.
Dopo quel pasto da fast food () una passeggiata per digerire forse era d'obbligo...
Un saluto
