On the roof of the Duomo - Milan


Milan does not have the immediate charm and appeal of other Italian cities (although it does hit the spot on the design and fashion, food and drink front), but one of its most hauntingly beautiful buildings is the Cathedral located in the heart of the city centre...


When the grey skies blow over, when the rain stops, and the clouds sail away, be sure to grab your chance and go up on the roof where a magical world of spires and gargoyles await....


Take your time tracing the gorgeous details of the sumptuous stonework...


And enjoy the beauty of the white stonework against those rich blue skies...


And be sure you are wearing the right shade of cobalt blue to match the skies!! - because seriously they do not happen often in Milan...


I will leave you with a final shot of the intense purity of those two contrasting colours....Enjoy!!

white stonework against blue skies, gargoyles and spires, fashion and food--what's not to like?! Wonderful sights.
