Gonnesa

Photographer's Note

Old tuna fish factory of Porto Paglia, , in the Gulf of Lions, a few miles from Gonnesa, in the southwestern coast of Sardinia, was formed in the late sixteenth century by decision of Philip II , King of Spain, designed by the merchant, from Genoa or Spanish , Porta, who after studying the tuna way , introduced into the system of tuna fishing the plant room.
The accommodation of the crew stood on the hill adjacent to the tuna fishery, while the tuna processing plants occurred in the island of San Pietro.
After many steps from the Spanish crown to the crown of Savoy and finally to private cooperatives, the tuna fishery begins its decline in 1866 due to pollution of mines planted in the area of Buggerru the late '800.
In 1964 it was purchased by a cooperative of fishermen but the situation did not improve and in 1978 the property passed into the hands of insolvency administrators..
The nets were lowered for the last time in 1973, then the buildings were abandoned.
Between 1980 and 1991 fishermen's cottages were converted into a modern holiday resort. and summer houses.

Of great interest in the Porto Paglia the ancient church of the fishermen, directly accessible from the sea, on a rock outcropping to the sea ; the boats can be moored to the quay of the little churchyard.

Archaeological survey of the village "Seruci" of Nuragic era, always a few kilometers from Porto Paglia.

Ciao Mario,
bellissima composizione ed inquadratura che presentano il vecchio stabilimento con grande chiarezza, precisione ed una qualit`a grafica. C'`e gradevole profondit`a fino al edificio e la gestione della luce bella e forte `e davvero meravigliosa e tanto efficace. Lo splendore della luce e la desolazione del luogo fanno un contrasto forte ed intrigante. I colori sono bellissimi ed il mare ed il cielo offrono uno sfondo stupendo. Complimenti e grazie!
Saluti,
Ourania

Ciao caro Mario,
che bello vedere ancora le tue testimonianze di una terra magnifica e unica come la Sardegna! Una foto piacevole accompagnata da note interessanti che ci spiegano l'origine di queste case, un buon esempio di riutilizzo di spazi abbandonati.
La qualità è come sempre eccellente e mi fa piacere constatare che non hai perso il "vizio" di fare foto belle :-) Bravissimo!
Ciao, buon mercoledì!

Hi Mario
The sublime colors attract the eyes in this shot, with the buildings nicely fill the frame - being the vital focal. Well composed that brings all its features to life, crispy, bright and superb contrast making this a very simple fine image. The overall effect is very pleasing to the eye with fresh green in the fg. Excellent capture. Congrats, TFS
Warm regards

Ciao Mario,
miolto interessante la tua nota, secondo me molto meglio un complesso turistico che una tonnara, non che io abbia qualcosa contro i pescatori...ma ormai il nostro mare è diventato così povero che pescare in grosse quantità è quasi un delitto, la tua foto è splendida...bellissimi colori, ottima inquadratura e un sharp al top...il colore del mare che si intravede è stupendo...buona giornata...

pierrefonds (48675) 2012-05-11 4:43

Hi Mario,

The distance between the anchor and the factory is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the architecture of the factory. The good luminosity is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Mario,

I've read your notes with great interest and was not surprised to know that these beautiful buildings eventually converted to commercial enterprices, because the same rule applies in our country too. Regarding your photo, I very much liked your composition and beautiful color range, especially the deep blue sea and sky look marvellous. Thanks for sharing. Have a good week.

Ciao Mario,
una bonita foto, con una luz espléndida y unos bellos colores, en una composición eficaz, elegante, y bien estructurada, en la que has combinado inteligentemente la arquitectura de esta vieja factoría atunera con los elementos del jardín en el primer plano, y con los intensos tonos azules del mar y del cielo.
El resultado es magnífico, es un buen trabajo.
Un abbraccio,
Josep

krzychu30 (9399) 2012-05-15 3:27

Hello Mario,
beautiful and picturesque scene.I like this a little bit lower POV,which keeps excellent balance between this old tuna fish factory and the lawn in the FG.It provides us not only superb view of this place,but also gives captivating color contrast between all these vivid colors.Great work!
Have a nice day
Krzysztof

ashres (1453) 2012-05-15 9:26

Hi Mario
Its a pleasing shot. I liked the blue background of the sea which i think is shadowed and available light in the foreground. The picture is sharp and colors are great. nice shot

A very beautiful image with nice saturated colors and fine architecture. Nice contrast between the green grassy foreground and deep blue sky background.

beatrox (378) 2012-07-27 11:39

Molto bella costruzione...

Le vide au centre et les lignes autour avec le jeu des couleurs et des ombres est splendide... comme ces façades presque aveugles... et les couleurs, en variation des couleurs primaires...

C'est le genre d'endroit que seul quelques uns voit avec cet oeil...

Merci pour cette belle photo

fabbs99 (6322) 2012-08-22 22:45
