Description
Did you ever wonder why the Leaning Tower of Pisa is so famous? It is only the construction failure? Or is it, well, simply beautiful? I think the latter is the more important—the edifices of Campo dei Miracoli are such highly artistic and beautifully fashioned that they would be tourist magnet even without that silly mistake with the unsafe ground.Of course, the image was taken in dome square called Campo dei Miracoli in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy, Europe, Earth, Solar system, Orion Arm, Galactica. Solar system is fine place, worth to visit!
So is Tuscany and Pisa, too

It is so unusual to straighten the tower, and what a good job you have done!

Thank you! Those buildings on Campo dei Miracoli are so beautiful that I thought they don't need to be characterized by their flaws ...

i spent a whole day there, or what felt like a day, photographing and exploring. was a lot of fun, just using natural light. My own favourite was but that’s because i was fed up with how so many people were taking identical shots. many pretending to support the tower with an outstretched arm. But i think your alternative is just as fun and much better done.
It’s hard not to be blown away by that place, its just so incredible. Anyway, many thanks for replying!

Great capture of the details. It captures the beauty of the architecture very well. I like it very much, well done piece of photography.
Sincerely

Thank you very much! I just wondered how many people thinks that it is famous only for the tilt, but actually the construction itself is beautiful.

The funny thing is, that tower is not even the building with the worst tilt, there is another building, that is leaning far more to the side than the Leaning Tower of Pisa does. Still, I think Italy in general has really interesting buildings, including the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Well, I didn't know. I've seen the leaning towers of Czech Domazlice but they had a bit less tilt AFAIR. But you gave me a good fact surfing, I'll check Google and Wikipedia

I am a bit unsure but I can swear I remember reading or hearing somewhere about the Leaning Tower of Pisa and that this one is a world known attraction even though it's not thaat much of a tilt compared to another building. But it's been so long ago I can't remember it anymore. If you find anything in your research let me know? Because now I'm curious myself.

Thank you very much for the information. I looked through the towers you've mentioned as well and yes, the story about Ulm's Metzgerturm was quite hilarious. I also found another one, the "Midlumer Church", which seems, as far as I've seen, to be another intact tower that has not been intended to be built that way and that one with it's 6,74° is even more tilted than the other two you've mentioned.
I've found a German written page on Wikipedia, that lists a lot of tilted towers in the world and I noticed that there seem to be some more that might be at least as tilted as the tower of Pisa, but their exact tilt is unknown so I can't say for sure. What I found fascinating, though is that the Elisabeth Tower, home of Big Ben, is also titled. It's really small, just 0,26°, but I never thought that one was tilted at all.

Yes, Elisabeth Tower was a surprise for me, too
Nevertheless the world is full of fun! And beside the Metzgerturm there is another cute tale about Ulm, and the Ulmer Spatz that I really love! I am even thinking about collecting anecdotes about Ulm if I can find more

You do that. I'm curious if you can find it now that I've given you the name of the tower.
Yes, I've read about the Ulmer Spatz as well now, you've made me curious. That was an interesting story as well and funny considering that the whole thing started because what was supposed to be a dove did not look like one.
Speaking about interesting stories, do you know the one about the Bremer Stadtmusikanten? That's the story of my hometown. It's more already a fairy tale, I guess but still, I like that story as well, about those four animals who wanted to become musicians in Bremen and ended up living in the house of robbers.

(I discovered an interesting phenomenon: most tilted towers are photographed that way that the ground is tilted the opposite direction. The photographers try to straighten them up by instinct
For Ulmer Spatz, do you know the poem by Carl Hertzog: Der Ulmer Spatz , too? That is cute
Bremer Stadtmusikanten is very well known here in Hungary, it was one of my favourite tale when I was about six

Yes, I'm sorry I couldn't find it in English. I have to say I was a bit shocked that there is no English version of the text.
Oh, really? That's an interesting fact to know about. I need to make sure if I ever capture a tilted building, that I won't fall into that trap then.
Yes, I read the poem, it was a very nice one.
Oooh, my town is well known, yay!
lol You're right, that really reminds a bit of that scene, nice capture.

On tilting back: actually I don't know how does it work but I guess that people who cares about levelled images consider the verticals as ground may slope to anywhere. But when the "vertical" is leaning the reference system has a "disturbance in the matrix"
On Bremer Stadtmusikanten: yes, that was the very reason that made it to my favourite. I really and absolutely hated Grimms and Andersen for their cruel tales. I preferred (and still prefer) the "they lived happily ever after" tales. The bad stories are always present, why to make promotion for them? 
Have nice lights & gute Lichter!

Sorry for the late reply. I've had busy days and then there was a big convention this weekend.
I know what you mean, with all you've been telling me, I'm now curious to try taking photos of leaning buildings as well.
Though at least in case of Brother's Grimm, I know that they never told their own stories. What they did was collecting various tales from people and countries and write them down in one book. I find that history again very interesting. And at least in case of the Grimm tales, all I remember is that they did have often a happy end for the main characters, but they were very cruel to the bad guys. For example in Snow White the Stepmother in the end had to dance in heated shoes until she fell over dead. What I find disturbing though is the fact that some of the well known fairy tales, even in their crueler version, still have an even crueler version in the original. I know I was rather shocked when I heard the true story of Sleeping Beauty. But yes, usually I prefer happily ever after as well, because reality is cruel enough, so I'd like escape real life once in a while in stories.
Thank you very much, I wish the same to you. I will soon offer so new photos. I did some interesting shoots these last weeks, some on the convention and some more when our park was lightened with coloured lights.

Hát, ez innen nem néz ki nagyon ferdének. Biztos ellensúlyoztad! De igaz, nagyon szépmívű egy torony!
