Bonjour Achim
Un très beau cliché de ce site avec une architecture intéressante de toutes ces petites niches où étaient entreposées les réserves. Le personnage en tenue rouge ajoute de la couleur.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hallo Achim!
Unglaublich! Was für ein Anblick! Interessant ist diese teilweise versetzte Fassade und die ganze Architektur fällt für europäische Augen total aus dem Rahmen. Du hattest ein wunderschönes Licht um diese Fassade plastisch darzustellen.
Sehr interessant!
Grüße aus dem kalten und grauen Siegen - und eine gute Woche!

Bonjour Achim,
interessant cadrage pour montrer la succession de ces curieux silos.
Ils semblent s'appuyer les uns sur les autres.
Belles lumières et teintes naturelles.
Regards.

Hello Achim,
A very interesting storehouse, which seems to have been excavated out of the rocks. I like the presence of the person who brings a human touch as well as adding a splash of colour. Thanks for sharing.

belido (16877) 2008-12-01 3:46

Hi Achim,

I wish I could visit half the places you've already done. Unsual and interesting castle. Very good idea to include the person as the size reference. Well chosen angle and good control of light and colors. Well done!
Regards,
Carlos

Hi Achim!A very beautiful strange construction of this place from Libya with an interesting architecture of all these small niches where the reserves were stored. The character in red figure of one man adds scene, excellent idea and composition, with good POV well done Bravo

Hallo Achim,

Thank you very much for your excellent workshop, splendid detailed picture.
Also this picture here is very attractive, and very impressive image.
Real colours of this fantastic place in Libya.
You play very nice with light and shadows.
Excellent composition and lovely presentation too. TFS.

Have a nice day,
John.

silvia_zenova (1318) 2008-12-01 8:05

Hi Achim,
it was very interesting for me to see something like this, it seems very ancient. The
figure of a man adds a dimension of the whole scene.
Regards, Silvia

cfreire (11667) 2008-12-01 9:09

Hi Achim,
Very nice capture of this impressive architecture. The colors and contrasts are superbs and the inclusion of people is attractive. Good POV and framing. Regards, Consuelo

Hi, Achim -

An informative photo from a part of the world that Americans almost never get to see. (Libya has generally stopped issuing tourist visas to Americans since last November.)

I like the WS better as an artistic composition, though this one does show more information.

Best,
Dan

josepmarin (34107) 2008-12-01 11:49

Hallo Achim,
Fantastic construction to store grain and oil, the Berbers are very clever.
And I like the photo, is simple and it has a strong graphism, in addition, the human presence gives us the scale.
Good work.
Best regards,
Josep

Another first from you, I've never seen such a structure before. Very interesting.

You really do have a way of finding these incredibly interesting places. A very unique place, and something I'm sure I'll never see in person. Excellent detail, and thanks for sharing.

Interesting structure here - and good to have the man in there for scale.
Nice Libian shot.

jafadabret (40325) 2008-12-02 5:09

Bonjour Achim.
Je préfère la photo du WS pour le dynamisme de la composition et les couleurs. Cette photo principale donne une vue plus complète de ces greniers. L'ingéniosité de l'homme est grande et de simples greniers deviennent oeuvres d'art.
Regards,
Jacques

Bluejeans (33081) 2008-12-02 5:41

Hi achim,
An intersting castle... The POV, sharpness and details are very good.
All the best.

stego (22478) 2008-12-02 16:53

Hallo Achim,
Amazing place, very picturesque, that gave you a great image. The presence of that uniformed guy that looks like a hotel servant or a mannequin with no head, is intriguing and adds another interest to the photo.
The WS offers a dramatic perspective and a closer view of those constructions.
Regards, José.

riclopes (33135) 2008-12-03 0:49

Spectacular place, fascinating architecture. Nice inclusion of the person for scale. The WS is a superb picture that would make a great main post too.
best wishes,
ricardo

JCG (25753) 2008-12-03 7:16

Hi Achim,

One would say a swarm of bees with all these cells !!! Beautiful and interesting photograph on this ancestral construction and always in activity I think. I like much your selective sight in low-angle shot in WS. Thank you Achim.

With all my friendships and a very good end-of-day,

Jean-Charles

Silversnow (2121) 2008-12-03 19:07

Whoah, awesome antique building you have there :D
So much details!

abulafia (4802) 2008-12-04 0:49

Very interesting architecture Achim, I do not remember having seen anything like this before.
It is almost like a small city.
Very nice
Harry

Jakab (3498) 2008-12-06 11:58

Hallo Achim,
ein perfektes Foto von einem sehr interessanten Thema. Manchmal reicht das Bild alleine (übrigens das im WS gefällt mir noch besser).
Viele Grüße
Laszlo

Angshu (34119) 2008-12-09 19:55

Hello Achim
Another marvel of the world you show us here. How old are these structures? For sheer artistic value I prefer the WS post, but this wider & straighter post shows us more information. Good work!
Best Regards
Angshu

Hello Achim
These food storages are unique and although the Berbers are not using it any more they still look well preserved! There is an interesting contrast between the walls and the niches and the entire structure which stands out well against the sky! The other photo could have been a main post as well!
Cheers
Marilyn

Docarmo (8854) 2009-01-19 20:58

Hallo Achim,
What a strange "complex" with a honeycomb principle. The person on the composition is useful to give scale.
Thanks for sharing,
