Today I met Nikos at Bergamo airport, then we went to the lake of Como.
I don't post landscape images here (don't have the time) except for one, which I think is my best one of the day, I post it now as a preview,
it also exceptionally got a name (I usually hate naming pictures), but I liked the concept so much, it had to have the name: "Painted Windows".
I made it in true Caligari style!
Distagon 3.5/15
These are the Pizzoccheri we had for lunch (sorry for the shallow DOF, but there was dark inside the café):
Vario-Sonnar 28-85
And these are photos that I took of Nikos:
Distagon 2/28 (backfocused in the hurry)
Distagon 3.5/15
Distagon 1.4/35
Rollei Planar 1.4/85
Rollei Planar 1.4/85
Leica Summicron-R 2/50

Thanks!
I'm very happy with this image. I think the 15mm distortion adds to it, because the house itself is skewed and really looks like a cardboard background from Dr. Caligari.
Also the painted windows, are wonderful, in my opinion: out of proportions, out of logic... they are like a logical accident of reality.
And at the same time, connected to the most ancient tradition of Italic house decoration: the "trompe-l'oeil" was invented by the Romans, who decorated this way the interiors of their villas, to simulate gardens, landscapes... obviously the authors of this masterpiece did not surely have in mind this ancient tradition... yet it's curious how they "stayed in the line" unknowingly.
P.S: note, that there is also a fake balcony _________________ Orio, Administrator

I did not know them, so I found them on Google, it seems they were painters of the XVII century, born in the area of the lake. I found this little page only:

Unfortunately I tried this photo with the Distagon 21mm.
We were in a hurry and I had just unmounted the 17mm TS.
But we were shooting for quite some time in the same spot.
Orio with the 15mm Distagon and I with the TS.
So we will find a scene to compare.
When I return home from work I will make a post with my photos:

They both are in Moltrasio.
We've only been in two villages, Moltrasio and Cernobbio. Winter short light only allowed that much _________________ Orio, Administrator

Super caloric. It's the typical Lombardy mountain food. Like, you go out skying all day, burn a lot of energy and take a lot of cold air, then come back to the cabin, sit by the fireplace, and eat a big dish of Pizzoccheri and you have recovered all your calories and stored more! _________________ Orio, Administrator
