Cloisters


San Zeno Cathedral. The cloisters are a stunning structure on the side of the Cathedral. Walking along you can see old tombstones, bits of mural painting, marble plates engraved with latin words. It's so silent here: a perfect place for walking and reflecting...

    If memory serves me correctly from a too-brief visit to Verona several years ago, the San Zeno Cathedral has one of the most unusual and dramatic paintings of the cruxifixtion that I have ever seen. It is from the perspective of standing underneath the cross and looking stright up

    Beautiful structure.
    I wonder what I feel in the calm place.

    Wow, Valeria, the black&White is perfect for this photo. You can almost "feel" the silence and the peace. Brava! Ma dove trovi il tempo? Ciao. A.

    Valeria,
    You are such a talented photographer! This is a beautiful shot. Very emotional.
    By the way, sewing is not hard. Get out that sewing machine and start with something simple. I took classes in the 7th grade but taught myself everything else. Someone who is so creative as you could do wonderful things with a sewing machine (especially for that cute little girl of yours.)

    This photo resembles The Cloister, an old church that has been turned into a museum in NYC. It has the same type of arches and internal courtyard.

    I will have to go and take some photos so I can post it on my blog.
