That's a view of one street in the lovely town of Rupit (if you visit Catalonia, don't forget to stop there...) I took in the TE-meeting I had with Toni, Nikki and their family.

How i took this picture? Well...Carla and Mikel (mini-Toni and mini-Nikki...:P) were looking for a place to drink some water and I was with them trying to get a success.

Fortunatelly, finally we found a little fountain and, while they were drinking, I turned back and enjoyed this view...

I hope you like too!

Hello Oscar,
Interesting POV for this narrow street in that beautiful town.
Even without much sunshine your picture is very clear.
Regards, Paul

Hi Oscar,
a nice shot, simple but very effective! Composition is pleasant and colors are sharp.
It seems really a lovely village, and it's like many village here in Italy: stone, little streets, windows... a special place to rest and enjoy silence.
Best regards,
Chiara

Hi Oscar,
beautifull pic and beautifull place,excellent choice of point of view and of the moment to take,the light is perfect and the colora too,my best compliment,
Siegfried

hey Oscar
really charming view. really takes me back to a different era altogether. the colors are really good. i just felt that the roofs on the right could have been cropped off, would have made the composition tht much more tighter.
take care
ciao

hi Oscar
good shot i like this street it´s remember some tipical vilages from my contry. in this picture i like colours.
regards
tiago

Hola Oscar,

que bonito rincon! Me gusta mucho tu pov por esta calle estrecha y empinada con muchos hermosos detalles, ¡enhorabuena!
Günther

nice street! nice colors....
but to stop the time I'll propose you (tomorrow- today no more than 2) a WS without electric line...

Hi Oscar!

What a lovely little town! It surely seems like a very pleasant place to be in. The little balcony on the left adds a very charming and romantic mood to the scene.
I like it!

Muchas gracias !

Saludos desde Miami... Maryori.

Oscar,
A lovely view of the alley way fill with cobble stone houses. We don't build house this way anymore. just very charming. Great sharpness and details on the texture of the stone. Lovely warm colors overall. Well seen and presented. Thanks

Hola Inferior.

Son foto(grafo)s como lo aquí presente lo que me haría no volver mañana a Barcelona.
No le encuentro ningún interés... absolutamente ninguno.

¿Tomás drogas?

Hola amigo:

Se detuvo el tiempo en este escenario? tal parece.

Me gusta el punto de vista, aunque las formas lineales tienen cierta inclinacion, pero me agrada la nitidez de los detalles en el plano intermedio

saludos, John

Hi Oscar,
That alley seems incredibly steep. Wonderful place with old stone made houses. Yes I think it has looked like that for ages. I'd like to see the alley on the bottom of the frame though.

Hello Oscar,
Excellent picture by buildings
Interesting scene for this stone view in that beautiful town. I like this architecture of houses,with good composition and beautiful place,
Good luck for victory of game. I hope you can make the final.Regards
Georgios

Olà Oscar
Not always easy to get an adequate pov especially in the narrow street like the one you're showing us with its medieval houses and I would not mind to stroll through this charming village.
Cheers
Marilyn

Olà Oscar,

What makes this picture interesting and succesful, is your decision to leave out the road (or stairs) going down and to include that big part of the wall on the left of the image. I think I will try that too some day...

Benny

Hola Oscar,

Realmente parece que el tiempo se detuvo. Pienso que la vida en este lugar es lenta y con pocos stresses. Bonita imagen con buenos detalles y colores. The tight cropping es muy efectivo. Bonito trabajo Oscar :-)

Hi oscar

A nice, downward pov, on this interesting streetscape. Superb lighting & texture. Tfs!

This looks like a little town lost in time. Beautiful street with very nice buildings built of stone. Nice colours too.
Good luck for tomorrow. I hope you can make the final.
Antonio

Hooooooola Oscar, this village is a beauty
i like your crop here, nice one!
ciao from Milan.......... :((
Valeria

It shows the rustic of the city well. The architecture is great and you have presented it well here.
Best wishes,
Achim

Ola Oscar
Antes de mais boa sorte para a tua equipa/seleccao.
Uma bonita foto com excelentes detalhes. Gosto do DOF, das cores naturais e como tu manuseaste a luz
Um abraço
Aires

solo piedra, qué recorte! me encanta

Hola Òscar,
aquesta és de les que m'agraden, carrers estrets de pobles amb molt caràcter i arquitectura autèntica, molta pedra i molt caliu.
La perspectiva i el pendent del carreró funcionen, el fanal és un bon detall, i fins i tot m'agrada veure els cables que creuen, formen part del paisatge.
Maca foto.
Salut,
Josep

Hola!

un punt de vista ben original d'un dels pobles que més m'agraden!

PD: carlos, las drogas ya no le hacen efecto... demasiado tarde!

Hi Oscar,
Not easy to find good POV in narrow streets.. I think you did well here in filling the frame with houses, good depth, nice light aand stone textures.
Greetings
LAurent

i always love to walk around in those medieval towns of europe... what a lovely place rupid looks like... lucky people living there...
have a good weekend oscar...

Hello Oscar, excellent light & detail in this interesting narrow road with it's stone wall buildings. Nice street lamps & flower pots on the window ledges.
A pleasant image.
Thanks
Santo

Hola Oscar!

Que toma de arquitectura, mas impresionante, hermano! Todo esta perfect aqui, encuadre, composicion, manejo de luz, todo! Felicidades!

Un saludo,
Hercules

Hello Oscar,

These days I do not spend too much time on TE and therefore I miss nice pictures of my friends.Such as this village in Catalunya.
Well, there are many reasons why I like it, but the main reason is that being up there somewhere you managed a picture full with houses and no white space like the air.
I wish you a great week-end - Izzet

Oscar,
what an appropriate title for the image. The whole scene has so much of history and givs almost the impression that you stepped into a time machine to get back to ancient times. At least that is the impression with my californian eyes where history, at least from the American point of view, just started in 1850 whith the gold rush.
Looking into the image I wonder how the same would look with a vertical or square presentation.
Peter

Hello Oscar,

Fine point of view, looking down into this narrow back alley!
Picturesque if any, and I notice the fine details in the old architecture...
A lovely view with many fine details!

Greetings,
Pablo -

This is the street level?
WoW! How steep is this street?
I thought you too it from a window or balcony...
Well, no need to say that i love those narrow, steep streets with hundreds years old stone houses...
Cheers,
Deniz

Ola Oscar
i don't know if a catalan is happy with the victory of the Roja, but i can tell you they deserve the titel!!!

excellent picture, lots of details, good focus

congrats

hola oscar buena imagen y bonito pueblo que tal estaba el salt de sallent para ir hacer fotos hasta la proxima
toni
adeu

Hola Oscar
Lol tu "note". Carla es una mini-Nikki ??? Soy casi una mini-Carla.
Bonito recuerdo de este pueblo bonito bien que preferia una poco mas nitidiez en el primero plan (solo f/4.8 ?) y una persona con una camiseta roja (Mikel por ejemplo) abajo. Vale pero como mis hijos no te dejaron tranquil, te perdono ;-)
Un saludo
Nikki
