This Romanesque church, San Giacomo di Spurano, on Lake Como, is in the town of Ossuccio. The pre-Roman origins of this village are confirmed by votive altar from the second century A.D. that belonged to some people called the "Ausuciates", who gave the village their name.

The technical problems on the first shot was shooting into the sun. I solved this by shooting 3 wide exposure brackets & blending them into one image. One was for the sky & water, one was got the general scene and one was for the shadow side of the church.
