Small Town Nights Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is start of night shotd from Jaffa.

Jaffa is an ancient port city believed to be one of the oldest in the world. Jaffa is located south of Tel Aviv, Israel on the Mediterranean Sea. Today it is part of the Tel Aviv-Yafo municipality.
In 1954, Jaffa became part of the municipality of Tel Aviv. Together, they are known as Tel Aviv-Yafo. Modern Jaffa has a heterogeneous population of Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Parts of the Old City have been renovated, turning Jaffa into a tourist attraction featuring old restored buildings, art galleries, theaters, souvenir shops, restaurants, sidewalk cafes and promenades. Beyond the Old City and tourist sites, many neighborhoods of Jaffa are poor and underdeveloped. However, real-estate prices have risen sharply due to gentrification projects in al Ajami and Lev Yafo. The municipality of Tel Aviv-Jaffa is currently working to beautify and modernize the port area, and are expanding the boardwalk along the sea from Bat Yam to Tel Aviv. They are also constructing a light rail that will travel from Bat Yam to Petach Tikvah and throughout the Gush Dan territory.

I love getting lost in middle east old cities....the white stone..the narrow roads....the golden effect of artificial lights...this shot reminds me of Aleppo Armenian zone...a tangle of small roads...doors...a world apart.

thanks for bringing me back to this pleasant memory

ciao

Hello Serghei,

A pictoresque narrow street, very romamtic with the lantern above, but the iron fence is exactly a jail!
Quiet and lovely for look at.
Reflection care for an attractive picture.
Good composition nice presentation, TFS.

John.

Bonjour Serghei,
un endroit sans doute très typiqyue et propice à des photos expérimentales comme celle-ci où la cpature des lumières et leur équilibre étaient primordiaux.
Cetle lampe donne juste ce qu'il faut de lumière pour bien rendre les textures.
Un format vertical adapté et une très bonne netteté.
My best regards.
Daniel.
