Nice shot!

Never been there though my parents have. The tower looks odd with the top part looks like it has been added at a different angle

Like Bill said, it's a really interesting shot because you only see the top, unlike with most photos of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Thanks for sharing :-)

@The Cynical Sailor: Your welcome, I have an old vintage shot taken in 1998 which is the standard shot of the tower next to the Cathedral, and the tower has been reinforced since then to prevent it from toppling of course as there has always been a threat of that happing since it was built. There is one shorter side and one longer side of the columns and arches to keep it balanced to prevent that I think.

I love the detail you were able to capture by only photographing the top. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

Beautiful shot. It is a different angle and perspective than what I normally see.

I think this sky made a great backdrop for the tower :)
