I agree with Thomas - I love #238!
The fencing shots were pretty neat, too
Cheers, Ben

Thanks Ben! the result was better than i expected when i took the photo...
As for the fencing shots, i found them really hard to anticipate. I'm no good with fast moving things... ;p

#250 - Valley Alley

​

Another take in the narrow alleys between buildings. Apparently it was constructed in this way to reduce the heat from direct sun in summer.

#257 - St Lorenzo Cathedral

21st September 2010
​

The most famous cathedral in the town, made from striped black and white marble. Stitched vertical pano of 5 shots and i had a tough time trying to correct the perspective (mainly the verticals and distortion), still quite off-balance (esp at the top) but somehow just not able to do any more correction without losing some part of the photo...

An old iconic ship at the old port in Genoa. Not able to get a wider shot due to many lampposts and trees around, so had to do with a very tight shot
