the shoes of the blue house Photo

Photographer’s Note

this little house is in Naples, yeah a different Naples, but a beautifull colorful one. It is in the ancient Borgo del Casale, or Borgo di Santo Strato in Posillipo (west end of the city), it was a marinare settlement (even if it is up hill, not so close to water) and it was one of the suburb village of the old city pf Naples. It is very pleasant to walk in it beacuse it is still so real and typically different .... it didn't have such a good reputation because of bands that would come from there and steal cars .... around the area. A lot of nice people live there, and you find even chickens or other animals walking in there. It is a nice place for a different and still very good view of Naples. Raccomended "Il presepe Vivente" every year on the 26 and 27 of december.

I just love the color of this house. And a very interesting subject! I know the building itself is probably crooked but a little straightening might be nice.

I kind of like this image.. it's almost abstract, reminds me of a Mondrian.

A nice and inviting note, Emanuela.
Also is the picture, when I see these details, textures and colours, I would like to see it with my own eyes. I think, I would love to walk around here.
Really great shot !
