The Bells Of Santa Croce by

This is the steeple of Santa Croce (Holy Cross) church in Assisi, Italy overlooking a beautiful green valley. This church was built in the 13th Century and is therefore older than our country!!
I could not believe my luck to get such a great vantage point.
Assisi was definitely one of the highlights of our trip and this is one of my favourite photos!

    This is a beautiful composition- great contrast of textures and light, and what atmosphere! Kudos Al, on a really engaging image of the sacred place.

  • Thank you so much for that awesome comment. I personally think this is one of my best shots from my European trip. I shouldn’t have posted this on the weekend when views are always low..
