Panorama Photo

It is not too difficult to photograph the Alps from the Po valley. In theory it is sufficient to take any point on the plain to have a beautiful view of the Alps.
From a practical point of view, however, things are different. Points with a view free of obstacles in front are very few, because it is a highly urbanized area; moreover, visibility in the distance is often poor.
However, when it is possible to find a point free from obstacles and excellent visibility, the show is assured. This is an example.

10 photos; 200 mm (full format); f7,1; 2 sec.; 160 ISO; with tripod.

Phantastic!
Why did you wait so long to present this amazing panorama?
Cheers Werner

Thanks for your friendly comments. I also like it, especially considering the considerable distances of the Alps. For example, Argentera is about 260 km away and Monviso 243 and the fact that we see the entire Alpine arc from the Ligurian Alps to the Pennine Alps
I must point out that a sunset with this light and clarity can be seen 5-10 days in a year. Not more.

City lights and Alps, perfectly combined, what a great combination!

Fantastic. I feel relieved that you have this view only 5-10 times a year. When I lived in Travedona/ Varese as a boy I seldom had a mountain view in memory. LG Niels

Thank you all for the comments and I reply to Niels.
Also from Bergamo, as from Travedona, the Alps are seen much more frequently than 5-10 times a year. But not with these conditions of visibility so clear and so wide.

Anche il fatto di vedere il Marguareis da qui non è da sottovalutare!

What a spectacular view from such a low viewpoint!

Thanks Peter. To be honest, this is one of my favorite panos.
And I explain the reason. As you said, I am at a very low altitude (about 300 meters) and from this modest height, peaks are photographed, such as the Argentera, which are 260 km away....
