Old House Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Old House at the Warehouse Castle of Kabaw where Berbers used to store their grain and oil.

Kabaw is a Berber settlements along the tops of Nafousa Mountain, in the way from Jado towards Nalut, and ultimately down to the desert road towards Ghadames. It is an old mountain village, rich in traditional architectural buildings and narrow roads along the cliffs.

Hi Achim.
These old buildings are very nice.
You have done a good light management.
The sharpness is good also, and you have managed to keep the focus on the building.

Regards, Fredrik.

Hello Achim,
A good capture of this very attractive old stone built house. I like very much the well rendered tones and textures and the contrast with the dark blue sky. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Achim,

We get very a few pictures out of Libya, here see we very nice one of the Berber houses, perhaps very old but in very well condition, certainly the walls
What a quality and sharpness and clarity, we see the different colours very nice.
Nice perspective and real colours.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice day,

A very archaic and poor architecture which has its appealing in this dry environment. I'm impressed by the excellent clarity of your photo where every detail is clearly visible. The colours too are well saturated and natural reating an incisive photo so interesting and fine to see.
TFS,
Donato
