Pisa, Italy


Flashback 2006


La Piazza dei
Miracoli as seen from our hotel room window at Grand Duomo Hotel



Night view of the Duomo in Pisa, (a one minute exposure).



Cafe next to Grand Duomo Hotel's rooftop garden. The wine was excellent, the gelati even better, (tre gelati).

The middle shot works well. The ghostly tourists only add to the shot

Wow DL, just wow. You have now officially inspired me to learn how to do night time photography.

Hey Rob...
Love these photos, and I too appreciate the extended exposure time, both in fun of creating and the affect (sometimes surprisingly delightful, other times creepy).
Thanks for sharing!

You and your fabulous night shots! That first one has a strange quality to it. Almost seems fake. Probably because of the color in the foreground and the all white in the background. I was in Pisa in '88 back when you could still climb the tower. Awesome!
