Feel at home, a photo from Kyklades, South Aegean

Photographer's Note

Feel at home away from home, that's the expectation attributed to mass tourists :)
You leave Britain 'cause you're fed up with your daily life, you need to get away, so why don't you catch a plane to have a pint in the Mediterranean? You'll feel safe, these guys not only own the place, they run it!

Hi Beijo,
Nice picture of a sign. View outside the sign may be used as 'frame' [which you did it] and it will be perfect if top part was cropped a bit more [or the whole outside area is darkened more] to eliminate bright blue color of picture at background. Great shot.

You may post this photo under Portugal >> Algarve >> Any town. I saw already in the Algarve many situations like that.
Really, I don't understand those tourists (British, Germans, Portuguese, any) that move to another country just to feel at home, or just to know the beach and the hotel.
Related to this I'm remembering a joke that perhaps was not a joke.
An American couple go on a package tour of Europe. One day they are standing at the Grand' Place of Brussels and the wife asks:
- Honey, which country is this?
The husband:
- Let me see. We are in the 6th day of the tour, therefore, according to the plan this must be Denmark.

Olá Beijo,

Me gusta tanto la foto, como la historia que cuentas con ella y en la nota. Absolutamente real en este mundo globalizado. Y es absoluntamente real lo que dice Xuaxo... al punto que años atrás (final se los sesentas) se hizo una película con sentido crítico, llamada "If it is Tuesday, it must be Belgium"

Un abrazo,
Carlos

Olá Beijo,
Pois parece que está na moda este tipo de "feel at home" porque quando estive em Maiorca estava com a sensação de estar na Alemanha e não em Espanha...Enfim..
A ideia desta foto e o resultado estão interessantes.
Beijinhos
