Dining in the air Photo

Photographer’s Note

The city of Valparaiso is characterized to have good part of its constructions in slopes of hills. As I showed and explains in others of my images, means common to be transferred between the superior and inferior zone, are the elevators.

Traveling in one of them, it observes a house that works like coffee - restaurant and that is in the margin of a small cliff, being his large windows in form of balconies closed on the same one (The image was captured on the move and within an elevator crammed with people).

When I wanted to visit it, I was with the same disadvantage that many tourists... to be able to arrive at, since all the streets of the zone finish steeply or turn turning aside it to one towards another site.

Oh, how I would love to drink a coffee there! Really nice shot, love the blue! If you had waited for a second or two the guy walking down would maybe have been in a better position?

Nice perspective . good compositions. Only thing the background seems soft. was it deliberate?

Pioenso que los coloros son hermosos y por que has tomadolo a algun posta muy alto parece que la casa esta grandota. Me encanto mucho.

Funny building located at a marvellous spot! It really stands out against the background. The blue colour of the house is really nice in this picture. I have to agree with jane-d about the person on the right: it would have been better if he were not in the picture or at another location. But having an early morning cup of coffee in the rooms on the left must be terrific!

Absolutely magnificent. I like it very much.

El edificio me parece extraño, el estilo no esta hispánico. La localización es extraña: en el borde de un acantilado, está en una zona de terremotos!
Tu cuadro es muy bueno, él danos una impresión sólida cómo Valparaiso es estructurado.

Ricardo:

Excelente composicion que da contraste de tamaños, entre la casa y el resto de las casas en el fondo. Me gusta mucho.
Cosa menores, pero no mucho que mejorar, bien hecho!

Quelle étrange ville Ricardo, toute en hauteur.
De bien belles couleurs pour cette bâtisse perchée, là haut. Une très belle composition.
Amitiés.
ranha cidade Ricardo, qualquer em altura. De bem bonitas de cores para esta alvenaria pendurada, lá elevado. Muito bonita composição. Amizades. Desolado os mais sorrisos amanhã.

Nice and dangerous place to live or have dinner. This is a very interresting shot. But the focus could be a little better

Xalkida (11740) 2004-08-25 14:54

LOL! Lovely place to build a house! :P

Olga (901) 2004-09-27 3:11

that is a fantastic picture, Ricardo, excellent composition (Valparaiso seems to be a vertical city), well balanced - with a subject in front and some relevant background, nice colours and contrast. That's how is Chile in my memories - very bright place :)

Une architecture très originale qui donne un attrait particulier à cette bonne composition.
Le cadrage est parfait, cependant il manque un peu de sharpness.

I guess here lives an Adams family. Nice house... This people don't suffer of vertigo.
But, to say a true, they really have a nice view on a town.
Nice photo.
Thanks for sharing.
