Photographer’s Note

Typical scene in mediterran countries: old men sitting together talking about politics, affairs of the village, ...

This is at the village Mattinata, part of the Gargano coast at the adriatic sea in Apulia, Southern Italy. My parents live in this village.

Hi Nino,
This shot is so typical of Italy, ah, brings back memories of my time in Peschici. I like the way the men are arranged by height, also your composition using the plant to break up the foreground works well, pity the light is so flat, long shadows would have really lifted the shot.
Cheers,
Peter

Hallo Nino. Ein wundervolles Photo. Über was mögen sich die alten Herren wohl unterhalten. Vermutlich haben sie alle den gleichen Wissensstand. Dann sagt der eine unvermittelt: ja, ja! Man dreht und wendet die Welt und stellt erleichtert fest, dass alles so ist, wie man es erwartet hat. Wie auch immer, das Photo gefällt mir sehr gut. Viele Grüße, Wolfgang.

Ciao Nino,

sono in Puglia tutte le estati (mia moglie è della provincia di Foggia) e mi fa piacere riscoprire certe visioni quotidiane grazie a te.

Complimenti, ottima idea

A great group portrait Nino and a nice setting . the enigmatic 50% sign adds a note of mystery to it. regards kevin
