Daily life colors Photo

Photographer’s Note

I am finally getting back my slides for the TE meeting in Rotterdam... and now that everybody else from the meeting has posted his/her (nice) pictures, I find mine not so exciting... But I will post a few anyway, as souvenirs of a wonderful, friendly meeting.

This is the facade of a building in the old neighbourhood of Delfshaven. I was interested in the red/brownish bricks and the spot of colors brought by daily life objects.

Hi Sophie,
Don't be so modest. having gone through your images, I can say with some authority that your images are as good as any. And this one is no exception.

Sophie,
Photo intéressante... Ta photo illustre bien l'architecture des Pays-Bas... L'armonisation architecturale n'était pas un soucis mais plutot de contruire un immeuble qui "flash" le plus par rapport aux voisins. On a l'impression que c'est une maison en "Lego" :-)
Merci d'avoir partagé cette photo.

Hi Sophie, lovely upload from this "history" tour. You show a real cityscape of a part of the town that is very old, and very compact actually, small houses, and quite a few doors on one stairs, but all with a little balcony, it seems.
A good cluttered photo, and the touch of color is nice.
I understand that you have the feeling that you're behind. I have the same feeling, I have only posted one from Rotterdam so far. Too busy with the rest of the holidays.
It was a good wekend!

Hi Sophie, nice to see your first upload taken during the R'dam meeting. This looks like taken at the first spot where the guided tour started, and you framed/cropped this detail well with a good rhythmic aspect provided by the architectural elements, and a warming "lively" component given by the signs of life such as the flowers and the hanging laundry. I still have a few more to post from Rotterdam, too, so you're not alone :o)

Salut Sophie,
je n'ai pas vu les photos du meeting, mais il y avait du beau monde !
Cette photo classique d'architecture est bonne et montre bien l'endroit.
j'aime bien

Les locataires cherchent à égayer leur balcon avec les couleurs des fleurs, à défaut avec la lessive.
Je trouve l'architecture de cette façade intéressante avec toutes ces décorations et ses murs en briques.

Hi Sophie
Great to see a shot from you as well - You spotted some very fine details at this image - I like the mix of wood and stone, very special and nice indeed.
Thanks for sharing this with us - looking forward to more shots.
Regards
Jeppe

Hi Sophie! I missed this one, great to see you posting from Rotterdam, your are kind of the dessert here so expectations are high :oD I think you managed to get a different view of Rotterdam very well, the tight crop is great and my eyes are constantly caught by the flowers in the orange pots, great splash of colour!
Cheers

Bonsoir Sophie,
elle est belle cette façade avec ses balcons, bow-window, briques, fenêtres... et les tâches de couleur des linges et des fleurs. Et tout ça sous un joli fond de rose-mauve...
A bientôt (pour tes photos de Binic !), Bernard

Hi Sophie, well done for spotting this original view that everyone else missed. Lot's of intresting details, and another impressive scan result.
