House and garden

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Traditional houses in the Yemeni highlands are made of mud-bricks and stone, generally in four to six storeys. Each floor serves its own purpose, with the ground floor being reserved for animals and storage of goods, the others for living rooms, kitchen, bed rooms etc. The women of the household usually have one floor of their own. The top floor, mafraj, is the most important. That's where the owner and his guests spend the afternoons chewing qat.
This house is in a village not far from Sanaa, the capital city.

Hello Gert,
a typical house in Yemen,but very unusual and interesting for us in Europe,well captured and composed,
I find your note very informative,
well done!
Dimitris.
Hej Gert,
A very fine capture of an interesting building. What is the age of such a house? Is it cactus in the FG? Whatever it is, it frames the house in a very good way and covering one third of the picture.
Hälsningar
Gunnar
Hej Gert,
Jag blev lite nyfiken pa dina bilder. Jag trodde att jag hade tittat i din galleri men det hade jag inte. Valdig fina bilder och ser fram emot att se dina scannade bilder fran dina gamla resor. Jag ar inte sa insatt i scanners men det jag har sett i TE ar att manga forlorar mycket kvalitet. Det finns en Polsk fotograf, POLONAISE, han bor i Canada och scannar manga bilder..du kankse kan fraga honom...eller dina kolleger fran tidningen de borde vet. Hur som helst sa ar jag har for att saga nagra ord om din bild.
Helt fantastisk maste jag saga och tycker att det ar konstigt att den har fatt sa fa poang...men det inte poang vi ar ute efter eller hur?
