A most famous building but I've never seen it photographed from this vantage point before...way to find a unique POV. All the books say find a place the tourists don't know about. Success! Well done.
wonderful image!!!!
My dear friend, you are a true master. 5+.
Fantastic view!!!
Great shot Sig.. :)
Love the arch : it really had something to the atmosphere. Nice picture. I've never been in Pisa and I thank you for sharing this dear Sig !
outstanding view of an icon.first time to see this perspective also
EXCELLENT CAPTURE & BEAUTIFUL COLORS :)
Stunning shot with a great perspective!
from the dark into the light ... nice capture!
wonderful pov....I have stood in the very place you took this shot...it was the meeting place with our guide...Pisa like so much of Italy has to be seen to be believed..the resourcefulness, ingenuity and creativity of mankind is a wonder to behold...thank you for sharing this capture
Good heavens, I didn't think it leaned that much! You have to wonder how they keep it standing when so many structures in the U.S. have little or no tilt and come crashing down even with expensive efforts to keep them whole.
unusual vantage point... so often famous buildings are thought to exist alone without context. almost all italian buildings have context and you show that here. love it.
Splendid composition and colors my friend
I have never seen a picture of it like this before. Great guidelines. I bet it is leaning even more today. Nice shot and natural framing. Aloha
great foto, been there done that :P when i vistited it was still open for public some where in the late 70's later they closed it cause it was getting too dangerous, nowadays its was straightened again and open to public again.
Wonderful the natural frame adds to the lean of this famous landmark
Beautiful framing in that archway, Sig... great shot !
Excellente photo, bravo!
Thanks for all the comments. In 2007 I was on top of the tower - 25 people at one time. They have stabilized the ground around the tower, and apparently there is no additional tilt occuring now. They have tried counter-balance weights, freezing of the ground etc. When it was first discovered during the construction, additional construction activity stopped for about 125 years. When they continued they compensated for the tilt by building straight up. There is a distinct kink (for a lack of a better word) halfway up the tower. I am writing this from memory, and I hope that everything I mentioned here is correct lol. This will be my last upload for a week plus. Sig...
Uma fantástica foto, obrigado pelos esclarecimentos acima é impressionante, aplausos (5)
Great POV and lighting! Nice shot.
Marvelous capture! you bring me oh so lovely memories :-)
A wonderful scene -- great shot!
What a great way to see the tower after seeing the same-o-some-o shots in the past. Good work mate.
beautiful scene and wonderful shot sig..great work as always..
Awesome POV. Nice to have a building in the frame to see the tilt. Thanks for sharing this one. Dana P
well hopefully they are working on it to sustain it,i saw in tv recently. good shot from this angle.
Excellent shot of this historical place. The POV is fantastic!
Soil tests...they didn't condemn the Midland nuclear plant until long after it was almost fully erected. Everyone always believes that their chosen ground is the most adaquate for construction. It's...patriotic!!
