Wrong parking !, a photo from Xanthi, Thrace

Photographer's Note

A street scene from Xanthi ! Don't ask me why this bike hangs there over the huge portal. Maybe due to security reasons, or simply a safe parking place ?

Xanthi (İskeçe) den bir sokak görüntüsü ! O bisiklet'in, Osmanlıdan kalma bu taş binanın kapısının üstünde ne işi var diye sormayın bana, belki de çalımnasın diye oraya asmışlardır, ya da emniyetli bir park yeri olduğundan . Kimbilir ?

Hello Mesut,I`m not sure how, or why the bicycle is in that precarious position but it has certainly contributes to a lovely street scene, with the passers by adding to the charm of the photograph.
Best wishes Les.

Ciao Mesut
un angolo caratteristico, con questo negozio molto particolare. Interessante la posizione della bicicletta.
Simpatica la coppia di persone che stanno curiosando dalle vetrine.
Buona giornata
Carlo

Hello Mesut,
I think this bike should generate a lot of questioning. Tourists are photographed in typical attitudes. Framing, light, colors and sharpness are excellent. Bravo.
Have a nice day
Best regards
Joël

Bonjour Mesut

J'aime bien le titre, il apporte une petite touche comique à cette composition. Le petit côté " scène de la vie quotidienne" est rafraichissant.

Amicalement

Serge

Bonjour Mesut
une belle photo bien lumineuse de la vie quotidienne mais ce qui me surprend c'est le vélo attaché en haut; il faut espérer qu'il ne tombe pas
Apparemment le magasin était une brocante?
et le vélo en fait partie!
bien vu
Juliette

Hi Mesut,

nice capture of this facade with the bike over the door. I really like your title matching very well with the photo. Maybe the bike owner don't have space at home to keep the bike, so he hang it out of the room.

Great colors
regards
Andre

If it is there for security, Mesut, it may be too secure - I'm not sure even its owner could retrieve it like this! A nice scene with a fitting title, and I'm glad you have these two window shoppers in frame as well, adding some human interest. Thanks!
