hillsides Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

As many citier in the world, each one has a peculiar charasterictic. Here, is really shocking how these people can live in those hillsides, surrounding the capital city in Bolivia: La Paz (more than 3600 meters above the sea)

This picture was taken from the 10th floor in the downtown with 19.1x. So, probably this picture has a bit of noise. :-(

best regards,
Alejandro

Hi Alejandro,
An interesting shot. NAKED buildings..:)) Very common scenery seen in developing countries. We do have similar neighbourhoods in our big metropols here in Turkey too.
Sharp and well composed. I can not detect noise or blur. Well done. Thanks for sharing...
Regards
Bulent

Hola Alejandro.

Bonita vista esta que nos traes hoy. Es estupenda!!!! Me gusta cómo la carretera "rompe" con los edificios.

Un saludo.

Hello Alejandro,

Amazing how people can leave in these "boxes"!

I like the repetition of the motive and the little spots of colors!
Thanks for sharing

Hola Alejandro

I like the simple repetition of the shapes, patterns, & colors. The blue & yellow houses stand out, & contrast nicely against each other. A superb pov, with excellent sharpness. The tiny buildings look like 'lego' blocks. Good work!

tonyking (1599) 2005-12-21 5:12

Alejandro, this is a good pic. I see no evidence of the 'noise' you mentioned. The colours and composition are great and the note is very, very informative. I've learned something here. To me, that's one of the really important things about TE.
Thank you for that and for the image. Well done.

Bs,
Tony

hola ale, finalmente publicaste esta foto. ya estaba a ver que nunca mas salia. a mi me gusta el punto de vista. un poco me recuerda a los legos. si, la definicion no es la mejor. Pero, compensa absolutamente con el punto de vista. Esta es una foto con mucha personalidad . Bien hecho amigo, Gabriel.

Excelente punto de vista y muy buen resultado con el factor zoom.
Salu2,

There is so much detail in the shot there is no room for noise. The very tight crop and panoramic presentation emphasise the subject well.

Hi Alejandro, good report of La Paz suburbs.
good composition, light and colours.
Merry Xmas, ciao

javierdenavea (608) 2006-01-29 17:29

Hola Alejandro, esta muy bien compuesta, creo que has captado muy bien la uniformidad de los bloques de casas que se repiten uno al lado del otro, descartando otros elementos de la foto que hubieran distraido del tema principal.

Saludos,
Javier

You captured the homes & hillside perfect. Although I've seen this in many parts of the world...it still blows my mind ...How lucky some of us are..Tfs

Hola Alejandro,
acabo de descubrir tus fotos y entre las de Bolivia hay unas cuantas muy muy interesantes.
Esta de La Paz, por ejemplo, tomada de un angulo perfecto para dar una idea de la arquitectura tan particular de la ciudad.
