Under the big hat, a photo from Milan, Lombardia

Photographer's Note

SEE WS TOO!

Last photo of Christmas in Milan, perhaps the most beautiful of all. Today I want to be patriotic, but in my opinion a visit to Piazza del Duomo and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele is an experience that everyone has to do once in a lifetime. Christmas here has an incomparable elegance and class. This year in the gallery, under the dome and above the Swarovski tree, a gigantic hat of lights has been placed with the emblem of Milan in the center, and I assure you that I too was amazed. I look forward to seeing you in Milan next year.

SOTTO IL GRANDE CAPPELLO

Ultima foto del Natale a Milano, forse la più bella di tutte. Oggi voglio essere patriottico, ma secondo me una visita a Piazza del Duomo e alla Galleria Vittorio Emanuele è una esperienza che tutti debbano fare una volta nella vita. Il Natale qui ha una eleganza ed una classe incomparabili. Quest'anno in galleria, sotto la cupola e sopra l'albero di Swarovski, è stato collocato un gigantesco cappello di luci con al centro lo stemma di Milano, e vi assicuro che anche io sono rimasto a bocca aperta. Vi aspetto a Milano l'anno prossimo.

Bonsoir Luciano,

Les immeubles cadrent bien l'arbre. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails de l'arbre de Noël et le chapeau de lumière avec l'emblème de la ville de Milan. La lumière environnante met en valeur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne soirée.

Ciao Luciano,
This is so magical and beautiful! The tree, the canopy of lights, and the architecture of the Galleria are all wonderful. I will add this photo to my theme. It will probably be the last Christmas tree that gets added this time. :-)

Hi Luciano
Very commercialised Christmas treats and it pays to look up with a wonderful display of appetising colours and decor. You coped the exposure pretty well. Congrats
Best regards

Hello Luciano,
I am getting tired of Christmas trees, but I will forgive you for this very nice composition. Those responsible for this arrangement obviously did a good job, but you made sure to find a good vantage point for your photo for the best symmetry and to put all details in the right positions.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Luciano,
An amazing photo of the huge Chrismas tree in the gallery, the big starry sky looks fantastic as well and adds a great contrast with the warm colours of the building itself. Perfect clarity too.

Luciano, that hat of light above the pink Christmas tree prettifies the plazza. The dome creates a covered gallery and a magical atmosphere. Both architecture and decorations are grandiose. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

ikeharel (112467) 2020-01-10 2:58

Ciao Luciano,
Wonderful those thousands of led bulbs decorations for the holidays, inside the Vittorio Emanuele Galleria.
Perfect composition, fine camera settings, saluti.
Good afternoon,
Ike

Ciao Luciano,

Une image parfaitement construite. La symétrie est parfaite et le sapin et le ciel se volent la vedette. Un bel endroit surtout pour ceux qui ont les moyens.

Amicalement

Ciao Luciano,

Milano might have just a few major tourist attractions and this is certainly a 'must see' when in this city. Good sharpness and nice warm cold colour contrasts between the blue and gold. Tfs!

Ciao Caro Luciano,

This is truly a wonderful spectacle and one of which you can be proud, both from a patriotic point of view and a photographic point of view.
You have clearly revealed to us all the details of this amazing, illuminated hat, nicely placed over the central Christmas tree.
Your photographs are both very well composed for a sense of style and balance.

Have a lovely w/e, Bev :-)

This is simply WOW.
Nothing more to say!

NB: The cable free lights on my Christmas tree are just fading out as their batteries get empty...

Hi Luciano,
This gallery inside view looks so luxurious. Wide angle view is spectacular. Lights of the tree and those high up look just great.

Hi dear friend Luciano
You have a beautiful view of this Christmas tree and a lamp above it. Good clarity and exposure. Thanks for sharing

mkamionka (73410) 2020-01-13 1:09

Ciao Luciano,
spectacular Christmas picture from this famous spot!
We have seen so many photos from this gallery. I had the pleasure to visit it as well, but of course the Christmas decoration transform completely the view.
Brilliant central symmetry so suitable here.
Excellent capture,
M

alvaraalto (42804) 2020-01-13 3:33

Hello Luciano
A beautiful photo of this exuberant Christmas decoration that harmonises beautifully with the classical environment.
This must be an occasion where you can easily take a few gigabytes of photos.
Excellent presentation
Have a nice day, groet Rob

gervaso (28177) 2020-01-20 8:04

Hello, Luciano!

It looks like a big flying saucer over this Christmas tree! The decoration is wonderful, and so are the architectural details shown in the image, captured with excellent light management and sharpness! Very nice composition! Well done!

maloutim (13617) 2020-01-21 0:25

Che bella decorazione natalizia! Questo baldacchino al di sopra è maestoso e il contrasto tra il colore blu e il giallo della galleria è efficace.
Ottima cattura!
Cordiali saluti.
Marie-Louise.

bertolucci (14052) 2020-02-10 0:41

Cia Luciano, That's a febulous image. It must have been quite the experience to be here indeed! The framing is very judicious, it both showcases this feast of light ánd exploits the geometric qualities of the scene. Great work. Ciao, Bert.

quovadis (5711) 2020-05-12 19:00

Ciao Luciano.

Here we go, a scene to remember, memories not to be forgotten, not so long ago, a time that the world seemed to be, as usual, taken for granted. Unfortunately, not anymore. Beautiful capture, the umbrella-like shaped light decoration above the Christmas tree looks very impressive. TSF!!!

I wish a nice day, all the best on the way to recovery.
