The chimneys of Belfast Photo

Photographer’s Note

This picture is from the Falls-area in Belfast, well known all over the world as an arena in the catholic-protestant conflict in Northern Ireland. The Falls is a catholic area. But the building-scene is british-inspirated, with the long row of brick-huses and the chimneys, facing the almost blue sky.

This picture of pretty houses reminds me a lot of Aberaeron in Wales, where I took a similar picture (if I could find it). In your picture it would have been interesting to see more of the frontages and their pretty colours. Otherwise I like it a lot :o)

Very good idea but not a perfect composition.
IMO, the strong point of the picture is repeating chimneys and houses, so I prefer not to see the area on the left. Alos, th picture needs to be rotated a few degrees to left. I tried a workshop, hope you like.

Hi Ivar. I like your idea and also the colors in your picture. However, you should maybe have taken the picture from a different point of view in order to have only the houses and the blue sky, but not the mountains in the back.
