Night Portico, Ascoli Piceno
A portico in Ascoli Piceno at night: arches going back into shadow and stone columns lit by the streetlights.
I photographed this portico in Ascoli Piceno one night in December 2010. The arches repeat one after another into the dark, and the stone columns pick up the light from the street. There was nobody around. The only light came from the lamps, and it pooled on the worn paving stones.
You can’t see the town in the picture, but you can tell it’s there from the light spilling in. I kept the frame simple and let the arches and the dark do the work.
