Rafael, excellent reflections on the second photo.
Arrival at the Siena train station, 1.5 hours south of Florence via the speedy Frecciarossa. From here, one enters a substantial modern mall and the start of seven long steep escalators to the hill top.
A 20 minute walk after the escalator travels, arrival at the Medieval city wall, early 14th century.
Taken from the top of the unfinished section of Siena Cathedral (Santa Maria Assunta). The Plague decimated the population of Siena and all work on the Cathedral stopped in 1348, it never resumed.

Thanks for sharing these, Serge. I’ve been reading a series of historical fiction books taking place in Medieval Europe and includes the building of a cathedral with new tower as well as the devastation of the plague, and your pics of actual structures from that era are a delight to see.

Calm morning with the 28mm AIS.
The winner of ABC’s "The Great Christmas Light Fight” is located in southwest Ohio made a fun test for my recently acquired 28mm f/2.8 AI-S. 1/30th at f/4 or 5.6, ISO 1250, Sony A7RV. I did not add any color saturation. In Lightroom I chose the Adobe Landscape profile which I use frequently.
