Lost in the mists of time…
Came across this image in my archive, and saw its potential in monochrome – don’t you just love that cloud, hovering….
Six Word Saturday: Somewhere in Lazio, not sure where

The B+W gives this a vintage feel. Could have been taken pre-war. Nice one, Sue.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete – I agree the monochrome gives it a timeless appearance, but I can assure you I am not of prewar vintage!! 😀
I bet it looks pretty darn good in color as well, Sue.
janet
Actually it does…but with so many elements in the image, I prefer the monochrome version!
It’s absolutely perfect in monochrome 🙂
Thanks, Gilly….I was looking for something else completely, but when I came across this, I decided I quite liked it!
that’s a fantastic composition, Sue, really love it, have a nice weekend, regards Mitza
Thanks, Mitza! Have a great weekend yourself 🙂
It’s as beautiful as it can be, Sue.
Thanks, Dina – a forgotten image from some years ago!
It looks alive – looks like it’s going to pounce on the building below!
Ah, beware of the monster cloud!
Great image Sue, as someone else said , very vintage in monochrome – makes me think of Mr Ripley or Cary Grant doing some cat burglary!! (PS The cloud is the icing on the cake! 🙂 )
Hmm, glad you like the image, but I don’t like the cat burglary idea!
I was focussing more on the idea of Cary Grant than the burglary part I suppose! 😀
That’s alright then!!
Sepia might work too? It’s a lovely image.
It might! Thanks for commenting 🙂
The cloud is perfectly placed – did you organise it? But what caught my eye was the foreground posts with their flections and the off-balance balance of the composition. And your comment that so many elements needed b&w was illuminating.
Imagine being able to organise clouds…. 😀 apropos monochrome for this image, I felt colour was too distracting – the colours of the water, the posts, the rich hues of the buildings, the greenery..all calling for attention, too loud for appreciating the whole
Met a woman at a bbq once who dissolved clouds above me – quite uncanny. It shook my world view for a few days.
Seriously uncanny….that would shake my world view too, Meg
Such a beautiful composition Sue, so tranquil looking with the silvery effect.
Yes, tranquil sums it up I think…..
Love that hovering cloud!
Thanks, Patti, isn’t it a beauty?
Perfect composition, enhanced by the monochrome treatment
Thank you, Pauline…a snapshot that I decided I could crop to square format and convert to monochrome!
This reminds me of an old movie set. Great photo Sue, the monochrome effect is perfect 🙂
Hmm, it is a bit reminiscent of a scene from a B/W film….. 😊
🙂
Somewhere rather lovely in Lazio 🙂 🙂
Indeed!
I do I do! Brilliant image!
Thanks, Hannah! Glad you like my cloud!
Sometimes we miss out on our good photos—and it pays off to good through old captures. This is an excellent photo, and I agree with you about the B&W qualities. It’s a lovely photo. I think the cloud adds depth and interest, though. 🙂
I agree re: the depth, and it was only when I did the monochrome conversion that the image ‘spoke’ to me, Otto
Beauty!
Thought you might like it, Paula!
Ah, lovely! I am looking through my pictures to put up a blog about Rome. Love Italy, all these tiny villages on the top of the rocky hills. Beautiful!
Oh, I’m having withdrawal symptoms….Need to get back to Italy, but it probably won’t happen this year
Oh I so understand you!
😊
The hovering cloud is nice – but those vertical sticks in the water really add a lot to the image, too -almost a dancing border to the picture? Nice one for sure!
Thanks, Phil!
