The Visconti Castle in the snow, in a "Day of Merla"








































On waking in the morning, today 30 January 2011, according to "Day of Merla," a "slight bleached" of snow water, fall, as the weather during the night and early morning hours, he cheered the day.
10 o'clock I reached the area of \u200b\u200bthe Visconti Castle of Pavia, who wanted to take some photos of the building and surrounding gardens, while the snow continued to aqueous down.
The place was almost deserted, and this fact favored photographs without moving subjects. The brightness of the environment, despite the whiteness of the little remaining snow on the ground, was modest, altering "the dark tones to" photographic images taken from dimly lit areas. Both the camera, the photographer is improvised, however, had "their limits."
The trees had lost most of the snow water during the night had covered them, remained small white spots on the leaf evergreen plants, especially on "magnolia" (which have broad-leaf) and some cedar trees of the gardens of the park .
In the images of the blog is visible, surrounded by a clearing not due to the large snow-covered grass leaf extension, a "Golden Deodara Cedar (Cedrus Deodara Aurea botanical name, from Sanskrit or Devadara Deviadara, meaning" tree of the Gods "for its beauty and grandeur) about 20 meters high, with some large candelabra arms, typical of the genre. The plant, about 40 years, was severely damaged by a tornado that struck the city of Pavia, about 25 years ago, but has now fully resumed. In
picture galleries of the castle open to the public from the west side, toward the playground of children, there were a photography exhibition Chiolini and an exhibition of paintings by bunting the end of '800 and '900, Ezekiel Acerbi.
staff service allowed me to access the large inner courtyard of the castle to shoot some pictures of the beautiful medieval complex and features double windows or bay, visible from the courtyard.
I took some photos of the fountain in front of the monument and the monument to Garibaldi, coarse porous stone, all in very difficult lighting conditions. Next to the fountain I photographed part of a beautiful beech, still partially covered with red-orange leaves.
I took some photos of the paths of the park, to a large extent not yet trampled on, where, sometimes, on some trees, bushes or small, still shone the warm colors of autumn leaves remaining.
