Victor Emmanuel II[/caption]On a recent trip to Rome we discovered the Altare della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland) in Rome. It lies between the Piazza Venezia and the Capitoline Hill.
Built by by Giuseppe Sacconi in 1885, it's frontage houses an equestrian scuplture of Victor Emmanuel II
This place is ALWAYS thronging with tourists, even in the rain, however the raised statue was just high enought to avoid the heads of the crowds.
A polariser was used to darken the sky and a 10-stop ND filter was also used to allow the scudding clouds to merge into the diffuse glow you see in the image.
