Spoleta
Posted by Michael Skorulski (Cigel, Slovakia) on 8 January 2009 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
There was something magnetic about Spoleta as I flitted by on one of Venice's water buses.

Fascinating colors and perspective, Michael. I agree that is has that HDR look, but it's just the many lines, colors and of course the lighting. This is wonderful!

I think Spoleto is the Italian name of the Croatian city of Split, maybe the name Spoleta is connected to this?

The suprasaturated colours of both buildings and water give a decadent touch to this image that makes my heart tingle with expectations! what's around the corner? a carnival scene?
