Description
*In the smiles of friends you can catch the promises for your bright future that should never be forgotten nor betrayed.*
-----------
Taken on July 6th, 2003, with a Canon IXUS 400. No postwork,1/3 of overexposure.

This is the memory of a blessing day with two awesome persons, ratto and jgeorge, Alessandro and Lucia, who went in Lodi's land to meet me and my man (Stefano.. the one ratto so tenderly portraited with me in the past days, whom everyone thought was ratto himself ;)), for a day together that has been under every sight one of the most warmening, amazing days I have ever lived.
We went around takin pics (well, they mostly did, that you have and will catch around in the gallery)out from a sunny day in the beautiful Countryside around the hometown of Stefano and finally transforming a pleasant internet connection in something real in full with the full body and voice communication, with the so called "complete vibe" of something we were always having the intuition was special anyway, namely our link, blossomed thanx to this site, and flourishing into a total thing.
I am never satisfied of my pictures, and that's why I post them so rarely in this gallery, but without knowing nor wanting to make that intentionally, it happened that (from two different points on the ground, at different distances) me and ratto took exactly the same picture of San Bassiano, the ancient church near Lodivecchio, a treasure of Romanic architecture, dated around 800 DC. Seeing that, I was almost rassured at least one of my pics was worthy this space, since everyone knows how Ale is perfect in every shot he makes (of course this picture is far from being perfect, but I am not him ;)).
So I am glad to complete the tryptich of this church alongside my beloved two friends, whom I'll meet so soon again, for renewing the memory of the magic of sharing real time together :)
Love you both dears :)
The Three Knights.. are us :) in shapes of Cypressus, and so perfectly this picture if meaningful of our day together for me. :)
Hugs, and enjoy everyone :)

Very good picture Meli! You are a excellent photographer! For you to say you are not is indeed a sin! Do not cut yourself short my friend! Hugs!
Excellent++++++++++++++++!
Nice photo.
Beautiful shot, the sky is unbelievably blue. Thanks for sharing memories of a wonderful day wih your friends.
Truly an excellent photo. The three trees match perfectly the three sections of the front of the cathedral. Awesome lighting to!
Excellent perspective on the church...A perfect shot (even though you don't think so) :)
In this shot you've managed to bring out the happiness of this day ;o) Beautiful composition, excellently done, Meli!
Yes! It is a beautiful shot...
WOW!!! Outstanding imagery!
interesting photo with great view!
There is just enough resolution to not give up on the crosses on the spires. I have seen this church used before. Here the man-made and man planted trade organic focus.
Superbo! POV, color, compo. Perfect management of light. Luv it. Luv Ita. :)
The church against that blue sky is what makes this photo really shine! Great shot to remember what sounds like a really great day spent with friends.
i've always loved photography. you captured this image well :)
Very beautiful! The vibrant colors of the Church and Trees when set against the brilliant blue of the sky is perfect. I think your photos are very well done and I also think you may not realize how great they are. I equate your skill in photography with danobs. You both have an eye for knowing just what to shoot and how to present it. You have vision!...Cheryl
Bellissima, chiara e limpida come te! E l'accostamento tra i tre cipressi e i tre cavalieri epico e poetico al tempo stesso.
beautiful colors and very expressive composition!
The quality of the picture is truelly remarkable! And so is the view of course.. :) The very blue sky mixed with the very southern church..a perfect combination. :)
Great shot. Nice contrast of that colors.
you're all WAY too nice.. but I am very happy that this homage to wonderful people as Ale and Lucia gained so many interest from you :) because they deserve, and they inspired me in takin this shot. Glad it went so, better than i could have ever expected :)
I love it; beautiful shot!!!
el contraste entre el azul del cielo y el ocre de la iglesia le dan un aspecto muy estetico a la composicion, los colores son perfectos, en el momento del dia adecuado y en la perspectiva mas acertada, esta es una razon mas para considerarte mi artista favorita, ademas de excelente fotografa. saludos Meli. ............................................... The contrast between blue sky and the ocher of the church give a very atractive aspect to the composition, the colors are perfect, at the moment of the suitable day and in the right perspective, this is a reason for consider you my favorite artist, and excellent photograper.
