187 N is for Neoclassicism

For my Friday's theme "the letter N" and for ONS11 "Architecture". The "Palazzo della Civiltà del Lavoro" in Rome

[Simply Amanda]

Wonderful!

[kali]

interesting the various shapes the shadows make

[kali]

a fascist building!, it does look downright bossy

[Domenico Dodaro]

@alophoto thank you Amanda!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@kali66 agreed! However, the deplorable fascist period has been the last, in Rome, to produce a significant urban planning and architecture... Sad, no?

[Tracy]

Great POV, and I like the shapes and lines too.

[kali]

modern stuff is so cheap and nasty by comparisin

[Krista Marson]

modern coliseum, but hopefully without all the gore! classic fascist architecture.

[Walks @ 7]

You've almost made it come alive. I am reminded of Monty Python here. That is not a bad thing at all.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@tracys thank you, Tracy!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@kali66 yes, and urban planning!!!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@blueberry1222 well, sadly the gore was outside, at the time it was built.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@joysabin I didn't remember! And they also located there the first scenes of powerful "Titus" with Sir Anthony Hopkins, back in1999

[Suse♡]

Excellent pov, composition & processing

[Domenico Dodaro]

@susale thank you, Suse!

[Yao RL]

I like this angle, The sky looks amazingly alive.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@yaorenliu Thank you! It has been hard work in postproduction, because it was rather dull and grey...

[Francoise]

very borges

[Domenico Dodaro]

@francoise do you mean Jorge Luis? I read all of his works and Imlove it so much... I nearly know by heart "The house of Asterion"!

[CAT Carter]

Such a dramatic picture! It's cool how u give this building such an imposing quality-excellent composition too., fav

[Caroline]

Stunning architecture, but the way you captured its essence and commanding presence is even better! And your processing...

[Domenico Dodaro]

@mrsc19 @kerosene thank you! I'm humbled

[Lisa Pouncy]

Fav. I'm such a fan of arches :) xx

[Domenico Dodaro]

@psychographer thank you so much!

[LittleQueenie]

Monumental! It's a bit like an Escher drawing

[Domenico Dodaro]

@littlequeenie thank you! Yes, it was meant to be monumental!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@littlequeenie the building, not the photo...
