Contrata della Torre

The Torre del Mangia is a tower in Siena, in the Tuscany region of Italy. Built in 1338-1348, it is located in the Piazza del Campo, Siena's premier square. When built it was one of the tallest secular towers in medieval Italy, At 88 metres (289 feet), it is third tallest after Cremona's Torrazzo (112 m) and the Asinelli tower in Bologna (97 m).

Sadly no-one took a shot of me making this photo! I'm sure it looked very funny me lying on the back under the deepest possible position of the tripod and trying to get the focus right. Even too narrow angle with my 15-30mm Tamron, so I cut out the lower part of the yard, to get this nice symmetry. HDR with PS-CC

I just loved the sunrise light over this misty Tuscan landscape... View from the marketplace of Siena. Two stitched portrait format images ƒ/7.1 100.0mm 1/125s ISO 100 Lens: EF 100 f/2.8L IS macro (click to see all my photos with this lens)
