Bell Tower & Chimneys

I would never have imagined that an Agip plant would look so good! It gives the church tower that little "umph"!
I was checking the map of Italy the other day and didn't realize Livorno is near Pisa.
If I visit Italy one day I'll go to Firenze first.
Strano vedere il vecchio e il moderno insieme così. Bella foto!
Oh this is a nice photo. .

What a great juxtaposition between light an dark...and I love bell towers...in fact, every time I see one I compulsively photograph it.
Very nice. Thanks for the history, too!
Monumenti e ciminieri.
La vista quotidiana nella regione Upper Silesia, dove abito io...
Very interesting composition ;)
Nice shot, two types of towers.. I prefere the first!
How awesome that they took the time to restores such a historical building!
Questa foto è decisamente angosciante!
Interessante rifare lo scatto a ciminiere...accese!
Simple and elegant composition.
