Hi Ruggero! I thought I'd come back and take a look at some of your earlier work, and I am certainly glad that I did! You had me totally mesmerized by the beautiful, intricate architecture of this glorious cathedral, and then you took me inside! Breathtaking!!! The reflections on the pillars and the beautiful windows are just amazing! I am in total awe of this album! You must feel very blessed every day to be able to view this amazing building! Boring??? I think not!!! Thanks for sharing with us all....take care...Darlene

Ruggero, this album is so very beautiful and your photography here is incredible! I especially like #s 1, 7, 15, 21, and 24. They are just superb! Thanks so much for your very kind words in my album called A Digital Medley 2. I really do appreciate it. Candi

said candistackable 2004.07.30 at 21:26:21 PDT

Are you kidding,...no way is this a boring album. Just another one of your masterpieces in capturing marble stillness! The stained glass reflections are gorgeous and very spiritual! Such creativity in your work and the shapes, lines and expressions are just magical. Thanks from the heart for sharing this intimate album.

Hi Ruggero! Thanks for your comments on my featured album today and you are welcome to discover my new album: Parc des Hautes Gorges. Michel

Grazie for the visit.I particularly liked the stained glass windows and the reflections. Ciao .Arivederci. André from Gascony

said teuquor 2004.05.14 at 09:41:34 PDT

Caro Amico, you surpass yourself with this album which is not only a photographic delight, but also interesting through the information you are offering us.I enjoyed it tremendously and so seemed to have felt some of my friends below, Lynne and Jacques and Luc. We are people from various corners of the world and yet...you gathered us all here to admire your exquisite work! Isn't it amazing???? My favorites are 121/127/200/204/all shots of the stained-glass windows, and MOST OF ALL No.101 - I would have called it &quot;The Delirium of Architecture&quot;! Friendly regards from Japan, Gabriela

said shukun20 2004.05.11 at 07:19:28 PDT

Cher André, Comment cet album pourrait-il être ennuyeux? C'est tout simplement un merveilleux livre d'art et toutes les photos sont très belles et rendues passionnantes par les commentaires associés; Les photos de vitraux bien sur m'ont particulièrement fasciné ainsi que leur lumière colorée projetée sur les piliers; On pourrait passer des journées entières à photographier les merveilleuses petites scènes de la grande fresque lumineuse; Elles me font penser à nos actuelles miniatures digitales (Thumbnails) Etourdissant! J'ai pourtant visité cette splendeur mais il y a si longtemps; J'avais surtout gardé en mémoire la forêt de dentelle de marbre vue depuis l'escalier extérieur et ce toit de marbre si parfait; Merci de me rafraîchir la mémoire sur le fantastique Duomo de Milan et aussi de me donner l'envie de retourner le visiter, Amicalement, Jacques

Bonjour Ruggero,an amazing album,fantastic architecture and great photography makes it a real delight to browse.Thank you so much for your visit and kind words on my lighthouse featured it was very appreciated,i will be back to check your other albums.Have a wonderful week-end!Luc

Hello Ruggero, and thanks to André who invited me to visit your album : he is wright, your album is wonderful ! I saw it in a dream : beautiful shots of your Milano cathedral in front of the Alps background. I enjoyed all the shots, but my favorites are from the stained-glass windows and those of the stained-glass windows colored light against the pillar of the cathedral. Congratulations for this awsome album ! Friendly, Chantal from France

said chantal_france 2004.04.29 at 14:25:20 PDT

Buena sera Ruggero. Grazie per l'invito. Il vostro album è superbe. I riflessi dei vitraux sulle colonne di marmo sono straordinari. Inviterò alcuni amiche ed amici a vederlo. André (Padre48 - Francia)- Traduzione http://trans.voila.fr/voila

Ciao Ruggero,è da un po' che mi hai invitato a vedere il tuo capolavoro, ad essere sincera ci sono venuta più volte, ma ogni volta sono rimasta incantata a guardare le foto e il tempo è passato senza che me ne accorgessi. Grazie per l'invito. Emanuela

said exemanuela 2004.03.26 at 08:10:35 PST

there is absolutely nothing boring about this album. each and every one of these photos is amazing. i love the color reflections on those columns of marble. beautiful. the views of all those spires, wow. lucky you to be able to sit up there and read. thank you for sharing. take care-

said dragoneyes112 2004.03.23 at 05:30:38 PST

Hey this is a awesome album! I have had a blast browsing through the images! Well done. &gt;:) The structures are absolutely amazing. Makes you wonder what has happened to modern architecture. Thanks for creating the collection for others to enjoy. I do allot of botanical and outdoor photography. I hope you will drop by and tell me what you think about my work. Best of luck, J.A.McGraw

said jamcgraw 2004.03.19 at 16:02:39 PST

Hello Roger. Thanks for your comments of some of my photos. Most of them are from the North West of Spain. Looking your photos it seems you like perspective very much. Good work. I hope you would enjoy Spain next summer.

said mavai100 2004.03.18 at 10:31:54 PST

Hi Roger!!! AGAIN! Thanks for your great comments in my albums last night!!! I am honoured and pleased. I enjoyed them very much! I am so glad we have found each other! I went and looked at #37 which you referred to and you are right!!! But YOURS is frozen and MINE is boiling!!! CRAZY, huh??? It's funny that you should point out that image, cause no one has seen what you have seen before. When I snapped that I was looking for a new round, but I was surprised to see the magic in the pot! Thanks for noticing!!! :o)b Most 'standard issue' people wouldn't notice that. You must be 'special' :o)b Don't you just love CLARA'S photos??? She is the BEST. Her mind always working. She will be famous. :o)b Your newest photo friend...Barbara :o)b

said pompeii7 2004.03.11 at 06:32:06 PST

Hi Roger!! I am still visiting AND I discovered that I had room in the 'Inn' for one more guest...LOL...so I put you on my favorites list! Yea!!! I am so happy! Now I can come back a again and again. :o)b I shared one of your images with Erik (evpicture) and Clara (clarita137) . It is the ice prison...I think it's #6..but I'm not sure. The link is : http://community.webshots.com/photo/110796710/110800184KsJDJb It is so cool! :o)b Very abstract and lots of secret places. Yea!! Good one! :o)b

Ciao, Ruggero, I actually looked at this album the first time several days ago and enjoyed it immensely. Your tour was interesting and humorous, and the photos are simply superb! Complimenti! (I borrowed the Italian from another writer!) And thank you for the beautiful yellow flower to brighten another week where we are anxiously awaiting spring's arrival. It feels like it will never get here. Best wishes, Debra

said dbooth52 2004.03.09 at 04:51:16 PST

Ciao, Ruggiero :) Your album is not boring at all! I find it very interesting, instead. It's very rare to find so many details of the Duomo, especially when the photos are so beautiful. It's fun to see it with the eyes of an insider such as you are. Complimenti!

said carmela2000 2004.03.05 at 19:01:14 PST

Ciao Ruggero!!! GREAT! Simply GREAT! You are a Master!!! The silent prayer,blue reflection, the rainbow column are my masterpieces*** --&gt; TO BE FEATURED, Clara

Caterina

said ambra2000 2004.03.03 at 15:58:56 PST

Hi Ruggero!! This album is certainly not boaring - I love it too! It must be wonderful to have lunch by such an amazing cathedral. I like your points of view, they give (some) idea of its enormous size. I love the statues of the people looking at Milano, they're very special. The shots inside the cathedral are also very good, and I can imagine they were not easy to take. The stained glass pictures are especially beautiful. Of course, your titles and remarks are excellent as always. I love the irony in your remarks - esp the mecabric ones ;-) Your last remark wonderfully closes the album with both irony and empathy - just the way I like it. I hope to see more such &quot;boaring&quo t; albums! Orly

said orlyyahalom 2004.03.01 at 09:35:24 PST

Ciao Roger, I knew you'd have some pics from that new camera!!! Seems you've already mastered it, good job. Were you amazed when you first brought them up on your computer screen as I once was. Nothing like a high resolution digital SLR is there? I loved your new album the title is wonderful and very appropriate for the subject, which is amazingly beautiful. I especially loved 118, 125, 140, 215, 223 and 303. You have the artist's eye. Wonderous those stained glass reflections on the columns in the church. I loved your gargoyles too!!

said vtpics 2004.03.01 at 04:15:11 PST

Nice to be back Ruggero! This is really The Place. I feel great love and affection in your photography here. This is a work of art my friend. I think we'll meet some day and why not have a chat with some nice fish and chilled very dry white wine. Looking forward this to be true someday - hopefully even when driving home to Finland in June. Have a great day - by the way have you already had your coffee under the dome or somewhere around? I'm late today, made just another Óbidos album and now for that cafébreak of mine! Regards Antti

said anttisarki 2004.03.01 at 02:39:08 PST

Hei Roger! I regard you as a tourist guide working for Webshots! You are showing more and more of the beauty of northern Italy. This really makes me re-thinking of having a trip northern Italy much sooner. Great eyes, great job and great album! Ciao, C.S. from Hong Kong

said csleunghk 2004.02.29 at 01:07:36 PST

Ciao Ruggero!Grazie per avermi scritto e per le stupende cose che mi dici!Spero di cuore che qui in Webshots si accorgano del tuo talento e che tu possa giustamente meritarti una &quot;featured&qu ot; ossia che il tuo album possa essere messo in evidenza!Mi sono guardata nuovamente il tuo album e devo dire che tutte le foto sono eccezionali e in effetti hai fotografato una Milano che sfugge ad uno sguardo superficiale..ci sono particolari arcinoti che mai nessuno e' riuscito a vedere sotto certe angolature..Insomma e' un album fantastico!!Sei un grande veramente!!Rinnovo quindi i miei piu' sinceri complimenti che vengono direttamente dal cuore.Ciao Ruggero!Buon week end!A presto.Un caro saluto e un sorriso.Ciao!:-))Caterina

Hello Ruggero, I do not know what to say to you, how can you think this is boring. It is absolutely WONDERFUL ALBUM!!!, you have put your heart in it , with gorgeous pictures, I envy your talent!!! Heartfelt Congratulations and warm wishes,Kathy

said katifelkai 2004.02.27 at 15:55:40 PST

Ruggero! Come hai fatto? Nessuno ha mai fotografato il Duomo così! E' una sequenza di idee visive che muove sia lo spirito che i sensi. Grazie. Un cordiale saluto da Luca.

said settembrino 2004.02.27 at 14:24:52 PST

Ciao Roger - wonderful photos! No way is this album noioso - it's great! I have often envied my Italian friends to be able to live among such beauty - both ancient monuments and natural wonders - day in and day out. The best I get is a view of the Golden Gate Bridge on my way to the office :-) Warmest regards, Beth

said bvillanyi 2004.02.27 at 13:36:07 PST

Hello Ruggero! Thanks! Not an easy album but beautiful, very beautiful. Thanks for sharing with all of us. Best of all liked the interior and to my mind the reflections, the silent prayer and many more beautiful shots. The shot were you said be careful the clouds are moving, I could understand that feelings. A great album my friend, thanks again. Have a nice day, Antti

said anttiolavi 2004.02.27 at 10:15:20 PST

Cioa Ruggiero, mi aggiungo al coro di quelli che mi precedono e di quelli che certamente mi seguiranno nel commentare questo bellissimo album. Mi il modo con cui hai saturato o i colori...hai usato un polarizzatore ??...e sono notevoli le prospettive. Complimenti sinceri. Maurizio. Italy.

said mauriziomalangone 2004.02.27 at 09:28:06 PST

Ruggero! Hai fatto bingo. Il Duomo di Milano reso così entusiasmante e svettante dalle tue strabilianti foto potrebbe attirare legioni di americani e di giapponesi. A parte gli scherzi questo album ha la cifra del vero capolavoro. La foto n. 8 è un insieme di suggestione ed equilibrio di forme. L'intera pagina 2, con la madunina e le altre statue incorniciate o svettanti tra le nuvole, sembrano fotografate da una mongolfiera zigzagante tra le guglie.I particolari della pagina 3 mostrano la tua abilità nel cogliere gli aspetti artistici più interessanti. Riprodurre poi i rosoni in modo così singolare lascia stupefatti. Ma l'apoteosi la raggiungi con i riflessi delle vetrate sulle colonne di marmo. Stupende. Insomma se a webshots capisconio qualcosa di fotografia e di arte la feature non dovrebbe sfuggirti. Grazie infinite per i tuoi benevoli ma autorevoli commenti sui miei due album sotto la neve. Un caloroso arrivederci. Claudio.

Hei Roger!Ciao Ruggero!Hai fatto un capolavoro!E' un album bellissimo!Ci sono particolari ritratti con talento e professionalita' che risultano stupendi!Anche per te, posso ripetere cosa ho detto dell'ultimo capolavoro di Claudio..Non saprei dire quale foto e' piu' bella, piu'suggestiva,piu' significativa o qual'e' la migliore..sono tutte stupende!Ti faccio sinceri complimenti con tutto il cuore!Sei stato bravissimo!!Ciao!Un caro saluto.:-))Caterina
