Colors in the facades Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hoy continúo mi serie que os quiere dar a conocer el Maresme, una bella comarca cercana a Barcelona.
Esta foto está tomada en la Calle del Palau, al lado de la Plaza del Ayuntamiento, en Mataró. En ella quiero mostrar la diversidad de colores en las fachadas de estas viejas casas, algunas de las cuales están muy bien restauradas, y en este caso, una floristería nos ofrece bonitas plantas y flores para comprar.
En el WORKSHOP pongo un ángulo desde abajo y con un plano más cerrado donde podemos ver la característica que se repite en el revestimiento de la parte inferior de los balcones: una bella decoración de baldosas de cerámica típica catalana.

Today I continue my series that wants to present to you the Maresme, a beautiful region near Barcelona.
This photo is taken in the Street of the Palau, next to the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, in Mataró. In her I want to show the diversity of colors in the facades of these old houses, some of which they are very well recovered, and in this case, one flower shop offers pretty plants and flowers to us to buy.
In the WORKSHOP I put an angle from down and with a more closed plane where we can see the characteristic that is repeated in the coating of the inferior part of the balconies: a beautiful decoration of floor tiles of Catalan typical ceramics.

No conec el centre de Mataró i ... caldrà anar-hi. Gràcies per mostrar-ho a qui estem lluny.

Hola Josep - there's quite a bit of diversity on display here. The lower parts of the buildings seem to contain shops while the upper floors look as if they are still private homes. I think that would qualify as efficient land use (something we could benefit from in this city!).

I like the splash of green that comes from the flowers & plants on display at street level - nice contrast with the painted coulours of the walls.

Hi Josep!
Wonderful pastel colors of the diagonal facades.I like your composition with many nice details,The lamp,the balconies and the bright colors of the pot-plants.The red blossom,I think a Hibiscus ,is a verry special detail,because it`s the only red in your image.Verry well seen,Josep.
Have a nice weekend,regards,Leo

It looks like these old buildings have been carefully restored. I wonder if the florist from the shop also lives in the flat above as there are flowers on the balcony too. It's a shame someone has put grafitti on the wall. Good shot in strong light. THank you for the extra shot in the WS too.

Bonsoir mon ami Josep,
J'aime cette prise de vue présentant ces façades colorées. Il règne une ambiance détendue. Les fleurs prennent le soleil, tandis qu'à l'intérieur du magasin (du fleuriste), la pénombre protège certaines plantations.
Merci également pour le plan serré présentant le détail des balcons.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Tfs this and that in the WS! Have a nice day!

Olá Josep,
Adorei o angulo que escolheste para captar estas fachadas.
Estas tonalidades suaves estão excelentes.
Os pormenores arquitectonivcos estão muito bem captados.
e claro adorei a inclusão da "farola".
Saludos
Teresa

Hi Josep
A good capture of this facade. The pastel colours are typical of Spain and this part of the world and add great character to the scene. The details are nice and the direction of the light is pleasing. A great effort.
Cheers
Aubrey

Hi Josep
You've posted some great shots whilst I've been away. I really like this kind of image. You've framed it well with the right hand side of the houses starting exactly in the bottom right corner. Nice gentle pastel colours and good perspective. Nice work!
Best wishes
Mark

Hola Josep

Interesante vista de las construcciones coloridas de Mataró. Creo que la existencia de algun individuo aportaría un toque humano que creo le falta. De todos modos me gusta mucho la toma.
Por cierto... viste el espectaculo de ayer??? Joan Gamper si levantara la cabeza se sentiría orgullos. No se si ganaremos todos los objetivos de este año pero si que se que el dinero me gasta (que no es poco) en el futbol está más que amortizado.
Un abrazo.
Sergio

Adorável composição aqui, Josep.
As fachadas dessas casinhas, apesar de visivelmente pobres, são muito lindas.

Excelente trabalho
