Power In a Picture

Power In a Picture

  • Posted by Peter MacDonald

This picture has a certain power, not just because of the dramatic location  but because of the contrast between the church and the background. The church of San Pietro Caveoso perches right on the lip of a  ravine in the old part of Matera, a city and a province in southern Italy. The first rays […]

As day breaks on top of the church, San Pietro Caveoso along the ravine at Matera on the last day of exploring this wonderful town. The church is remarkably located on the edge of a ravine that is in the background. The night time photo from the opposite direction puts it into perspective.

Epiphany?

Epiphany?

I sometimes think the word epiphany is over used and misunderstood There was no manifestation of god or a sudden insight into the essential meaning of life, so this is about as close as I will ever come to an epiphany. High up on the slopes of Chianti, there’s a little village called Lamole. which […]

You can almost imagine the sound of the Roman legions passing here 18 centuries ago. A time when Matera in Southern Italy was being settled by the Romans and today the historical aura still remains. It is no wonder Matera is often looked at by film directors for biblical and historical settings for their movies. […]

It is very obvious the lovely southern Italian town of Matera has been around for a long time…many centuries in fact. Exploring the streets of Matera was fascinating to say the least. From the pictures I have posted earlier which showed the structure of the town, it is a maze or a labyrinth and this […]

The Stonemason’s Cat

As I mentioned in the previous post there’s a lot of restoration work going on in Matera. This cat blended in with the stone masonry so well it looked like a carving. Whether its coat was the colour of the stones or it was impregnated with the dust from the work I don’t know. However […]

Surfaces polished by time or human activity over many centuries. The caves of Matera in Italy are full of textures which exude the passage of time. It is said that humans or their relatives have lived in these caves for 9,000 years. Even the outer facades of some of the Matera dwellings reflect the decay […]

Matera town by night. Some really great restaurants featuring fresh local produce ensured an active nightlife in this rural community. I recall resting the camera on the top of a wall to get this nightscape. f2.8, shutter 1/10th sec, ISO 2000, FUji X 100s

It is no wonder that the ancient part of this little town in southern Italy has been a setting for movie makers looking for a biblical landscape. Even better for me and my two little Fuji cameras. Matera is an hour’s flight from Rome, near the Adriatic coastal town of Bari. After three days in […]
