MatericLook: Sibenik 00 by Francesco Perratone, Croatia Photography and art
Hello!
 
A bit late, but here’s March wallpaper!

……Croatia, Sibenik

A very nice historical city, with narrow alleys and steep stone stairs, lovely for taking a walk in a warm summer evening!
The city itself has a turbulent but interesting past, it has been controlled by Byzantium, Hungary, Venice, then the Habsburgs and Austria, more recently Dalmatia, Italy, then became part of Yugoslavia and finally Croatia.
The ancient settlement became a city at least from 1066 AD, when a document from the most important Croatian ruler, Kresimir (Petar Kresimir IV) refers to it.
A note on the shot itself: the horizon line is difficult to spot, (you can guess it from the mountains far back on the right).
The coastlines from the city and the opposite shore are converging, so the overall impression is somewhat “unstable”.
However the mind clings to a vertical line, shaped by the reflection of the city in the sea water, the fortress up the hill and the cloud above….
I personally like it, but probably not everyone will!

Sibenik 00: patron’s wallpaper for March!

Image

MatericLook: LightPath 00 by Francesco Perratone, Austria Photography and art

Here’s a new image of a sunset over Vienna.

The picture was taken a few days ago, on a cold 31st of December 😉

While the Sun was disappearing, those beautiful colors faded in…. the view is from the main bridge crossing Donauinsle , an island on the Danube. The area is mainly recreational, restaurant, bars, and nice places to take a walk or a run.

The church silhouette is from St. Francis of Assisi church, also known as Mexico Church or Kaiserjubiläumskirche. Unfortunately it was closed at the time, so I couldn’t take a look inside.

Looking in the opposite direction there was an equally magnificient view. A glass skyscraper was reflecting the light and colors, blending with the background.

Apart from the colors and contrast, I like the geometry and composition, with that nice slice of Moon peeking through the sky…

Enjoy! :-)

A beautiful morning just north of Vancouver. The clouds are moving fast so the patterns on the background are changing, bringing with them areas of light and shadow. The landscape perceived depth is really striking.

We’re nearing the sunset, the shadows are becoming longer and darker. The mountains, jagged against the perfectly blue sky, are painted by spectacular shades…

A beautiful afternoon in BC, not too far from Alberta and the parks…. The light is incredible, a little haze makes the mountains on the horizon otherworldly….

TheWheel

Another photo form Canada, I was lucky to capture this beautiful sunset. The red sun highlighted the town hill, while the mountains in the back were almost completely black, giving great contrast. The cloudy sky also had a nice contrast with great depth, a beautiful company to the underlying landscape.
