Just to stick with the theme of a city skyline with mountains, the only difference is the continent...

Taken from the Lido about 30 minutes after sunrise, one month ago. Stitch of 7 verticals

P.S. larger image provided

P.P.S.Great theme Stan, please never recover, ok?

Ah, Stan: there are at least 3 bridges in this one, but I'm afraid you'll have to click it larger to spot them...

Paolo, this is one of my absolute favorite cities. I don't think we saw the mountains when we were there in 2000...Brings back some great memories.

What a marvelous picture. Just beautiful.

It's fascinating how rapidly this theme is evolving.

Well, i guess in this era of the internet..."telephone" has gone transcontinental

This is absolutely magical, Paolo, magnifico! I especially like the piers, remnants of my original post...

Now if someone can just bring back that bridge...

I've never been to Venice (or Italy for that matter) and have never seen the Alps....I'm really missing something... This is beautiful.

Excellent. This works very well in panoramic format, and I like how the compression brings the alps close to the city.
