In this atmospheric shot, the Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore stands majestically amidst a spectacular sunset. The sky is filled with long, stretched clouds that traverse the horizon like brushstrokes, giving the scene an almost painterly character. The warm yellow and orange of the descending sun contrasts beautifully with the cooler tones of the water and stone facades.
The imposing bell tower and domes of the basilica stand out sharply against the dramatic light, highlighting their architectural details. In the foreground you can see the still waters of the San Marco Canal, which look soft and silky due to the long shutter speed.
