Blue House Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

When I saw this house I remembered the song of Duncan Dhu:

La Casa Azul (The Blue House)

What prefer, you can choose
the legend or just a woman
will laugh if you see there
time and talk about you.

They are stories of the street
and which are known.

The legend of the widening south
now lives in the blue house.
Without looking leaves behind
to buy the other.

They are stories of a street
of talk shows and bars.

The wrinkles in your skin dry
did not agree and neither of whom was
love was his profession
and the honor was his curse.

The blue house, blue house
still standing looking back
its large portal with little light
and nobody invites you to come
is not nobody in the city
by knowing your room
there is nobody who wants to enter
another night there.

I hope you enjoy it!

Hi Manuel
This small blue house is looking like a toy for children. Excellent composition with also a good light.
Well done
Bertrand

Hello Manu !

What a lovely shot! The composition is good with the palm tree on the side and the cute blue house with its colorful windows looking at the sea. Good idea to link the picture to a song...
I would have also think to "San Franscisco" from the french singer Maxime Le Forestier that says (approximately translated) :

It's a blue house
Leant with the hill
We reach it on foot
We don't knock at the door
Those who live there
Have thrown away the key

Best regards
Marine

Hello Manuel!
Nice point of view!
I think with smaller and black frame was better!

Regards,
Elena!

Hola Manuel,
Another wonderful shot in your unique style.
I like the composition and colours. And the palm trees... I MISS THE PALM TREES! :)
Well done, my friend!
Kindest Regards
Chris

Y el ese mismo title me hizo pensar en Frida Kahlo y Diego Rivera y en su majestuosa casa!
Es una composition muy agradable y los blue hues son muy pleasant to the eyes. Ese terracota hace un terrific contrast!
Saludos,
Maria

There seems to be a lot of noise in this image, Manuel, to the point where the sky is hard to differentiate from the ocean, but actually I don't mind that because it makes this photograph look like a painting. If I had been shooting this, I would probably have cropped it just above the LH palm tree, but again I don't mind the square format that you have presented us with here because it adds to that 'painting' look (painters never seem to worry about the thirds rule!)
