Beautiful capture with an almost unreal, fairytale-like atmosphere.

I like the lighting and grainy-ness. Good shot.

I do like the contrast between the solidity of the floodlit building and the dissolving dark areas. The buildings on the left are magnificently undelineated and sort of pastel like. Oh, and I do love the noise.

You are so right, Marcie, about the night magic. This is like a painting.

Ginnie on 29th November 2009 @ 10:15pm

does feel magical. as if it's a movie set - and any minute now a great romance is about to unfold.

michele on 29th November 2009 @ 11:01pm

The high noise works in this - as you take the mysterious light into nightfall under harsh illumination - successfully.

Stephen Phillips on 29th November 2009 @ 11:39pm

it's like a scene from a movie.

Great nightshot, love the noise!

Zing on 30th November 2009 @ 2:52am

A bit of noise? :-D

Joaquin on 30th November 2009 @ 3:44am

Magical indeed is your picture Marcie!

Standley on 30th November 2009 @ 4:10am

you make italy look like it's heaven :)

i hate my flash....i think you do too....but just recently having found the need to use it, I played around with it at night and changed the setting to underexpose my photo with the flash on....wow, what a difference in my photos...it was lit up but without the look of the flash having been used....
and you're killing me with all these vacation photos as I need to get out of here now....

Beau nocturne qui invite au romantisme?

Josiane57 on 30th November 2009 @ 11:11am

jelb on 30th November 2009 @ 11:21am

yiannis krikis on 30th November 2009 @ 12:39pm

wow, like something out of a fairytale!

mary on 30th November 2009 @ 12:45pm

because it was already very dark

Rolf on 30th November 2009 @ 12:49pm

Magical is right, it almost does not look real.

Terry H. on 30th November 2009 @ 1:27pm

Yahoo! I got into to visit. I hope the problems with your server get solved.
I love the graininess of this shot. It looks like an Agfa slide film that I used way back in the old days.

Michael Rawluk on 30th November 2009 @ 2:42pm

Love the grain in this shot! Magic mood and light.

pernilla on 30th November 2009 @ 3:13pm

Es una bonita escena nocturna con una preciosa iluminación. Yo creo que en este caso una conversión a B&W hubiera minimizado el problema del ruido y le hubiera dado un aspecto de imagen clásica. Buen trabajo. Un saludo.

Pere Chuliá on 30th November 2009 @ 4:28pm

Bonita foto nocturna. Saludos

Mª Angeles on 30th November 2009 @ 4:48pm

Beaustiful and, yes, very magical!

Beth on 30th November 2009 @ 5:06pm

very nice relaxing atmosphere.. i can imagine the silence here, broken maybe by the gentle sound of the water...

paolo on 30th November 2009 @ 6:02pm

Very beautiful.

Puna on 30th November 2009 @ 8:11pm

it does seem a bit mystical from this view.. nice shot.. :)

rian on 30th November 2009 @ 11:27pm

Looks like a gingerbread house!!

Andy on 1st December 2009 @ 1:05pm

Love the grainy noise - gives the whole scene a fairy tale look.

harry on 1st December 2009 @ 6:39pm

seems like a site of intrigue. i really like this.

grant on 2nd December 2009 @ 12:20am

Yes, I love night shots, especially with water. I was mesmerized when I was in Amsterdam and loved walking at night to be entranced by the reflections on the canals.

Diane on 2nd December 2009 @ 12:35pm

Looks so Medieval! I love it!

Evita on 2nd December 2009 @ 12:50pm

Just like a painting. Is it Venice?

Geir on 5th December 2009 @ 6:44pm

Like a Fairy Land!
