Little piece of homeland Photo

Photographer’s Note

Though they are millions the immigrants that came to Spain in the last few years, there are lots of Spaniards living abroad. Like others they try to keep memories of the native country while they become accustomed to the new customs of a new land. Though all the Spanish junk here this pub in Switzerland looks to me like other pub in Switzerland.
I liked the light here and the calm in a Saturday evening (far from what a pub in Spain would look like). I liked also the big figthing bull. Even in a country where the cow is a landmark, this bull is recognized a Spanish one.

Good job - I do like images of bars, although at first I dind't realise this was a bar (it's a bit different to the ones you'd find in my town!). Anyway, it gives us an insight into a Spanish bar in a different part of Europe. Good composition & colours.

Hi Clemente,
I always have mixed feelings when I'm abroad and see typical Dutch shops. Especially when they are there for the Dutch and not everybody. But anyway Europe is the place to us all.

Hola Clemente, mis padres emigraron a Alemania en los años 60, me han hablado muchos siempre sobre lo de mantener las raices. Me gusta mucho esta foto, la luz es bonita, la simetría de la composición se ajusta bien a lo que cuentas. Es cierto que el ambiente es distinto al de un pub de aquí a esas horas. No sé, en el fondo prefiero el ambiente que hay en los nuestros. Un saludo.

Clemente to shoot any photo with the light shining towards you always makes the results interesting. Very nicely done with sharp details and good framing. Thanks for sharing.

Hola Clemente.
Veo esta foto y me acuerdo que ayer estrenaron "Un franco 14 pesetas".
Me gusta el ambiente y la foto en sí. Pero coincido con lo que creo que han dicho: es mejor el ambiante de los locales de aquí. Pero como aquí no se valora esto, sino la foto en sí: muy bien por la foto.

Carlos.
