what a lovely light over this fantastic city - one thing I know for sure - next time I am there I will drive to this spot - it has a lovely view on the city. I also like the idea of having the snow-covered wall in the foreground but as you worked with a monopod I would have used a higher aperture value to see, if it would have been possible to get the snow in focus as well - but only a minor issue for me in this great picture (and some - perhaps also you - might prefer this version)

I'm just amazed that you got five shots in the same position using a monopod! Delightful!

I agree with Maria, but wonder why the sahades are so parliament blue.

Shades are blu because I shooted in the morning. This is the reason IMHO. But I'm not sure....I used no filters.Besides this is a winter light.

Hi Axel. Your comment is right. I could use a higher F number to increase DOF...I ha light enough. I'm old Axel!!!
