Description
Viale Primo Maggio (May 1 Avenue), Turin.This avenue is named after the International Worker's Day and skirts the Royal Gardens, where jazz concerts are often hosted in the summer (see, for example, Jazz and Jazz - 19 ).
A snowy night at the beginning of this year turned the whole city into an unusually white and silent place. I love to imagine the city under the snow mantle as a bride who, dressed in white, gets ready to marry her groom.
This image is a HDR post processing from five exposures (-2EV, -1EV, 0, +1EV, +2EV).
Full view recommended. Thanks for viewing.
Nineteenth image in my "Turin " series. Please see the complete series .
Where did I take the picture from?

gran bello scatto, bello il contrasto di colori e il colore del cielo che riprende quello dell'arco

grazie. era il colore naturale del cielo, solo leggermente esagerato dall'hdr.

snow often changes the way we perceive things. i love your interpretation of that arch, which actually only leads to the usual city mess.
and... thank you for the

all that snow was not viewed here since at least 25 years... it was really worth the while a walk through the city (and some shot)

this is very cool, my only wish is that the whole arch were present

the two half columns are... half in the real thing.
they rise from two square structures that enclose the arch. I did take another, zoomed-out, shot, but i like this one much more. first, because the background is more detailed (obviously). then, because i took the shots under a sort of balcony (enclosed between two similar arches) and i did not like to see the sidewalk, without snow...

merci! i can assure you that the color are faithful to the "original". i managed the hdr process to bring out the details without substantially altering the tones: the sky looks almost like it was, with orange-ish street neon lamps halos reflecting on the grey clouds.
