The Galleria in Messina

This is the "Galleria" in downtown Messina. It's very easy to miss this gem of a building.  Sadly, it's currently hardly in use.  I spent about half an hour shooting it from different angles. 


There is a larger, more impressive, and bustling one in Naples, Italy. And in Milan is the famous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.


About the Image:  It's another vertical panorama made from several exposures.  The final piece will have a height of 12,500 pixels.  I have more processing work to do on this image.  I consider this a "rough-in".  I'll go back to the raw files once I get the presets I like off the compressed jpgs, then rebuild the final panorama applying the presets to the raw exposures.  That wonderful reflection of the canopy glass on the glass floor section wasn't planned.  It came as a complete surprise to me!
