Bicycling in Hamadan Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hamadan, the town in western part of Iran. Local people in other parts of country warned us of this place - "it's stopover for mujahedins from all other Asia going to Iraq to fight with Americans, it's dangerous place".
Hard to say how much truth was in it, we didn't feel endangered for a single moment, people in this town were as nice and generous as in every other part of Iran (that means very generous :D). They assured us: "We are not terrorist", one guy even spent the whole day driving us around and showing places, completely for free!

The details you caught, especially in the windows, are really excellent. I like the texture and color of wall- the post and the boy kind of blend right into it. Great capture!

Hello Antoni
The quiet scenery that this photograph rides a bicycle in weather till I read your comment. . I looked so.
But I felt it to a photograph with warmth by peace from a color and constitution to this photograph which I felt so.
I wish for the thought that this I felt sometime becoming reality. . .

That's nice - the angle of the light enhances the texture of the wall. Perhaps ideally, the figure would not overlap the shadow of the telegraph pole.
