The Duomo (Cathedral)For my birthday in December, our daughter Mary gave us tickets to the ballet La Bayedere at LaScala. After the ballet we had a late dinner at the Victor Emmanuel Galleria. It was raining when we left to return home. I had a new camera with a function for night time photography. Since the rain had cleared the piazza of people it was easy for me to quickly focus and get this photo. I was quite surprised at the photo details.
This is such a beautiful building that truly amazes me. It took over 200 years to build. One could easily guess that five generations worked on the construction and never saw the completion. A roof tour is available which allows you to see numerous details of the building. 2700 statues are on the exterior alone. When you stand at the top and look north, the view of the Alps is outstanding.
Tommorrow I will post the cast brass doors of the Duomo.

Mary;
I was truly amazed at how beautiful the details of the building are so visible in the photo. But when you have such a wonderful medium for a photo how can it not turn out so great?
Love,
Mom
