Photographer’s Note

little slice of land in the city becames a place to grow own vegetable and spend nice time. In naples it is common to findy families that have there own private "orto" and grow for them or even to sell a kind of season vegetable. This loks like a kind of broccoli called friarielli inneapolitan that means fried. this vegetable is bitter but very tasty with garlic and sausage ! A typical neapilitan meal

In quartiere Posillipo, going up to Virgiliano park, left side of the street...3 generation here, mama and papa, daughter (on left side) and grand-daughter

Hello Emanuela,
Very nice picture, the PoV is great, it's pleasant to look at these people working on this green field from above.
Good composition, but the only this I've to say is the half body on the left ;0). I will try a WS.

Very nice photo, Emanuela! I like high pov, like seen by a bird. The fresh green and yellow tones are very nice and one can almost feel there movement. It must be quite tiring to work like that. I also tried a couple a weeks like a summerjob, but I tell you, it is very hard work.
Thanks for sharing!
