beautiful textures, colours and enchanting light. However I'm sure that I would very quickly get sick of seeing other people's laundry displayed like that in such enchanting places ..
Posted by Susie at November 5, 2006 03:26 AMThat worked really well on my monitor - the page opened to what looked like a fairly classic rural architecture shot... then I scrolled down to find the incongruous drying rack at the bottom :)
Well seen. It's a great contrast - both in style and tonal value.
Posted by Mike Abbott at November 5, 2006 05:37 AMVery intresting shot, full of opposites. old buildings todays peg, Dirty road, clean clothes, light shadow. Contaons and defines, most Mediterranean alleys - Italy - Greece - Spain.
Posted by eyetoeye at November 5, 2006 06:00 AMYou've managed to come up with 2 things of note. The need to clean clothes and find a place to dry them in any age.
Then there's the amazing buildings which are the setting. While I often comment on the decay in old places it often has a comfortable appeal to the eye, and these are colorful and marvelously textured walls and ironwork in a very artful nation.
You've done it again Sam.

Posted by Steve W at November 5, 2006 08:47 AMThis is absolutely gorgeous. You framed it so well. Love this one to bits. Cheers!
Posted by Noor Hazmee at November 5, 2006 08:49 AMi like the fact that you often post large vertical pictures. tons of detail.
Posted by jesse at November 5, 2006 08:53 AMI just love the textures of the old stone masonary work. The colours as well are nice and warm, wonderful attention to detail Sam (as usual)
Posted by Lynn R at November 5, 2006 10:35 AMit's so pretty. i only wish tallahassee, florida looked like that.

Posted by sal at November 5, 2006 11:59 AMexcellent composition. beautiful lighting, depth, and overall nice shot.
Posted by Vickie at November 5, 2006 12:05 PMBeautiful. The Light on the wall above the windows is creating an amzing color.
Posted by Rami at November 5, 2006 12:17 PMReally nice shot. Peaceful...
Posted by April at November 5, 2006 01:55 PMi really appreciate this one very much! :)
Posted by nick at November 5, 2006 03:16 PMGreat photo. Just don't like that blocking fence (or whatever that's called). You should have gone there and removed it :D
The rest is great! The tones especially. Well done
I look every so often and am always delighted with the photos, but today I felt immediately, "I have seen this; this feels all too familiar." I scrolled down and realized, oh yes, I probably *have* seen it since I was all around Siena almost a year ago now. Thanks for the beautiful photo and bringing back some memories.

Posted by lysa at November 6, 2006 01:08 AMThis looks like a National Geographic shot.
Posted by Nate at November 6, 2006 10:11 AMOld and new in one.
Posted by Andrew at November 6, 2006 11:31 AMGreat shot - very curvey. Also I love the clothes as a way of bringing a historical place into the here and now.
Posted by Damon Schreiber at November 6, 2006 01:43 PMLike it!
Posted by Gabriel Nita at November 7, 2006 09:57 AMOne of the things I truly enjoy in your fotos is the surprises you have at the end of vertical shots. There is always something of interest. I think the contrasts in lighting here work particularly well; the shadows are accentuated and even a bit mysterious against the bright sun at the top. This is a great scene and very well captured.
Posted by Abe at November 9, 2006 10:55 PMthere is so much to discover here, very well done and very good spotted subject
Posted by m a r i n u s at November 12, 2006 05:39 AMHi Sam,
Very nice shot and beautiful lights.
How do you succeed in create so sharped pictures ??? I've already tried it countless times, and never, never, never succeed.
I've read what you have explained a couple of times, but definitively... aaarrrgh !!!
Please ! Explain again ;-)
