Photographer's Note
Another view in the Parco Sud Milano, on the western side of the city; an image from the stone bridge over the small Naviglio di Berguardo, one of the several artifical canals on Milan, that was built between the 1420 and the 1470 by Francesco I° Sforza (July 23, 1401 - March 8, 1466; he was an Italian condottiero, the founder of the Sforza dynasty in Milan).
As the other Navigli, it was one of the largest post-medieval engineering projects, allowing development of commerce, transport and agriculture.
The Naviglio di Bereguardo leave the Naviglio Grande close to Abbiategrasso and runs for 19 kms South to Bereguardo, close to Pavia and the Ticino river.
It drops 24 meters using 12 "conche" (lock system).
Bereguardo is a municipality in the Province of Pavia in the Lombardy, located about 25 km southwest of Milan and about 12 km northwest of Pavia; it had a population of 2,523.
The name of the small city come from the french "Beau Regard", a common name used in the Mid Age to indicate a hunting location; Bereguardo was the hunting reserve of the Visconti Family, the second Lords of Milan, after the Della Torre family and before the Sforza family.
P.S.
The small white dot on the top right side of the image is a plane approching Malpensa Airport, that it's 40 kms North.

For sure a special landscape Paolo. This plain with the artificial waterfall and the endless plain scattered with the tactor balls.. far away this one from your place up in the mountains...

Hi Paolo,
Simple and pleasant scene. I wist those hayrolls would be closer. But choosing a POV over that canal was an excellent choice. Little fall adds interest too.

Sorry Paolo I dont agree with your friends below I fail to see how this can get 12 points so quickly unless you have a deal with these other 'high pointers' going on (you give me a smiley and i'll give you one) there are many landscape shots o this site that are very good and have been on for months that dont get hardly any points.
In the case of this shot its rather flat- no detail in sky, focal point if it is one, is the canal which is rather dull. The light is the middle of the day so no nice shadows and the water is burnt out.Haybails which should be the focal point are so far in the distance that its hard to make them out. With an f stop at f3.5 and a 1000th of a second, really you have to question , what are you doing with this.
Landscapes should be with a small an aperature as poss (unless a wide ap is for a more artistic effect ).And 1000th of a sec with this light ,you must be having a laugh -you could get away with an f27 at a 10th of a sec with this !
B4 you other high pointers post a smile on this and any other shot like it consider why you are doing it -what is your main motivation!
I have recently posted an image relating to this phenomenon of mutual back scratching and wanting people to comment on it please feel free to do so!

Hi Paolo,
This is really quite an unusual scene. The fields on the right present an entirely different vista than the action of the water on the left, with the deep blue of the water above the falls enhancing the overall scene nicely. I like the soft lighting here very much. Well conceived and executed.

Hej Paolo
the comp here is so classic as you could use as a scoolbook example. it's very attractive colors are clear and there's a nice slow movement in it.
And on that you give us a good note.

Hi Paolo
Great perspective provided by the waterway. An image divided more or less into thirds. Interesting to see hay bales still at this time of year.
Best wishes

Paolo,
your composition with that water and mini-fall at the left side and the grain field at the right side is really great. However, I see a certain overexposure there too that diminuishes a little bit the overall impact of that otherwise very strong, colorful and well saturated landscape photography.
Regards, Peter

Classic thirds composition; even the graded sky is complying. The canal is the perfect lead-in all the way to the vanishing point. A minimal composition suitable for desktop wallpaper. ;)
