Photographer’s Note

Houses sheer to the sea in Tropea, a nice and famous touristic place in Calabria. I captured this picture from the opposite Cathedral erected on the top of an hight rock: this church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary of the Island, keeps inside an old icon of a black Madonna, coming, my be, from Romania 5 or more centuries ago.

Hi Paolo. this is a fine study--excellent exposure, and perfectly cropped/composed to show just a small section of roof and hills beyond.
regards,
Sheldon (shel)

Ciao Paolo,

Very interesting image, centennial houses. I like this but I think that needs a bit of adjustment. Just I made a workshop,I hope you like this.
Best Regards
Leonor

Building vertically has not always been done in an industrial way. Here is a good exemple. I am not sure taht these flats have all the requirements for modern life. They constitute however an interesting aggregate, with some unity of colours and shapes.
Nice shot !

caro paolo, un fresco lavoro e come sempre all'altezza, anche se nonm vedo tutti i tetti, ma questo è perfezionismo e poi con queste foto si toccano i sentimenti. Ciao

Ciao Paolo.
Molto molto bella! Come un po' di case malconce possono diventare una stupenda fotografia...
Mi piace la luce che si intravede da destra (era verso sera?), mi piace l'effetto monocromatico e soprattutto la presenza delle due persone sui balconi che danno vita alla scena. Complimenti.

What a light, what an atmosphere !
It looks sad and poor, but I don't know if it is really ?

wow...this is nice, and the framing looks excellent too, and the title as well. i love these worn out buildings showing life to the fullest. for me it is always an excellent subject to show. tfs, alan

Beautiful reality. experienced living in such places. Some times it is good to see the other sides of exotic places.
