[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Guadix, a city of southern Spain, in the province of Granada; on the left bank of the river Guadix, a sub-tributary of the Guadiana Menor, and on the Madrid-Valdepeñas-Almería railway.
Guadix occupies part of an elevated plateau among the northern foothills of the Sierra Nevada. It is surrounded by ancient walls, and was formerly dominated by a Moorish castle, now in ruins. It is an episcopal see of great antiquity, and its cathedral, built between the 16th and 18th century on the site of a mosque, combines three architectural styles (Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque).
The city was once famous for its cutlery; but its modern manufactures (chiefly earthenware, hempen goods, and hats) are inconsiderable. It has some trade in wool, cotton, flax, corn and liqueurs. The warm mineral springs of Graena, much frequented during the summer, are 6 miles west.
The most famous feature of the town is the cave dwellings in the Barrio Troglodyte (this picture) where upwards of half the population live. These caves are in no way primitive dwellings and are a solution to the fierce heat of the Andalucian summer.

mi è sempre piaciuto quello che si può intuire della vita della gente guardando i bucati stesi (napoli ne è una fonte inesauribile , soprattutto nei quartieri spagnoli)queste persone sono ben pasciute e amano i colori allegri
bravo a cogliere l'immagine e bravo anche a regalarcela

I muri corrosi dal tampo e dalle intemperie ci raccontano tante storie.
Ottimo Franco.

Hi Franco,

this is most colourful daily life! :) Not usual photographic motive but despite that most pleasant and charming capture. I like this domestic touch, this courtyard of loundry which speaks of warm and sunny weather. Very vivid and cheeerful mood felt trough whole image.

Kind regards and nice w-end,
Jeri

Ciao Franco:
I like this photography because is a intemporal stamp of a life form that still exists. I add it to my them about popular Spanish architecture.
Saludos,
Pepe

Dear Franco,
a colorful and brilliant shot you show me.
in my feeling, the most important color in this shot is white of the wall,
and I especially like the brown part of coming off white.
it is really tasteful, and its shape looks like the gorilla fling up its arm.
the air of easy and simple life is well captured in this.
thank you,
Akihisa

Ciao Franco,

Comm'e bella questa tua foto. Ottimo angolino da mostrare e soprattuto i abiti stesi che danno degli colri nello blanco.
Buona sera,
Roger
