Milan, above the rooftops.
This Milan photo journal looks at the city from above, then returns to the everyday details of a table and a meal. Six photographs bring together architecture, movement and a quieter side of city life.

A different view of Milan
Terracotta roofs stretch across the frame, interrupted by planted terraces, a cathedral spire and an old bell tower. Modern buildings appear further away. Seen together, these photographs show the layers of Milan without reducing the city to a single landmark. The balcony view adds a more intimate scale: two chairs, a table and the streets below.
The city between the landmarks
A street photographed from above turns passing cars and rows of facades into part of the composition. The final lunch photograph brings the journal back to the table, with pasta, tomatoes and coffee. These small pauses belong in a travel story just as much as the wide views.
