Fiskarstaden huts Photo

Photographer’s Note

The oldest part of the town of Hudiksvall is Fiskarstaden, situated around its small fishing harbour. The houses there were destroyed by a fire in 1792, but then rebuilt and they remained more or less unchanged until our time. They make a nice ensemble of red coloured wooden huts built together along a canal. Originally they were used for storage of fishing equipment, but now they are converted into small shops and restaurants (entrances are mostly from the other side where a road is).

I liked their old appearance and also how they were giving life to this otherwise empty quarter.

Hello Kristof,
Rich eye-catching colours, nice framing by the trees!
I like the strong diagonal in the composition and attractive reflection...
A well composed scenery with a great feeling of depth!

Kristof,
Your composition is great here giving us a diagonal view of this scene. The reflection adds nice depth and balance to the photo. I like the overhanging tree adding nice framing and an additional point of interest in the frame. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa
