duomo


we only had an afternoon to spend in Milan
which was really not enough time at all.
for some reason I only took pictures of the duomo,
which I loved from the outside (probably because it looks like a cake with very elaborate icing),
but I was slightly disappointed by the dimly lit interior.

we took the elevator to the roof and had a great view over the roofs of Milan
(plus got a closer look at all that icing).

Milan, I'll be back!

  2. I only stayed in Milan for a day when i was traveling in Europe, we naturally went to see the duomo. The exterior details are so elaborate, it amazes me!

  5. ich muss mich immer überwinden, um an touristischen orten zu fotografieren (obwohl die orte an sich "können ja nichts dafür" dass sie so touristisch geworden sind;), und das ist klasse wenn einem/einer (wie dir) gelingt, auch da einen anderen, eigenen und nicht touri-postkarten-mäßigen blick darauf festzuhalten. das gelingt dir allerdings immer (so mein eindruck). die letzten 2 sind meine absoluten favoriten :)
