Once a week—or every so often—I will display one of my photos captured and/or processed with Instagram over the last week. It’s a way for me to show photography that usually is quite different from my regular work. The pictures are displayed without any comments, hoping they will stand on their own. But I still very much appreciate any comments you may have.
I can see why you liked it, Otto. Have a great weekend! 🙂 🙂
Thank you, Jo. Same to you.
beautiful… old cities are beautiful, Otto, don’t you think?
I totally love old cities.
The foreground and tree on the right almost make one feel it’s like looking through a keyhole of days gone by (with the old buildings).
Yes, you are right. I like your observation.
Old cities have their own fascination and you managed to captured it well. If not for the cars this could be a “no time photo” but a today’s view is interesting as well!
I agree. Old cities are always something special. Maybe exactly because it’s easy to feel like in a time travel, except for certain modern devices such as cars and cell phones.
The detail that stood out for me immediately was the man in the lower left, standing behind the pole. There’s a cleanness and simplicity to his half-hidden presence that’s an interesting contrast to the ‘clutter’ of details in the rest of the photo.
You have a good eye. I was wondering if anyone would pick out the guy. And maybe his presence does add a touch of system to the clutter. 🙂
I did grow up on an old town, sort of miss that environment, and the old houses, where so much peace, and a timeless feeling, I look back with nostalgia. 🙂
Must have been a great place to grow up!
Yes, it was, but I was young, and you know how our youth acquire on our memory a sort of magical, romantic attachment to it, that may not survive the test of time if we want to repeat it. 🙂
Enjoyed the way that your perspective took us into the light.
Thanks for the feedback, Lens.
You want to forget about time and simply enjoy walking through the street.. that is the feeling.
And so I did. 🙂
I like the sepia tones, Otto. Very dreamy.
Thank you, Tanja.
This makes me think that this shot could’ve been taken now or 100 years ago. “Timeless” is said too often, but this feels timeless to me.
I think you are right. And probably partly because it’s an old part of the city – and of course the processing.
A beautifully fascinating photo !
Thank you, Holly.
i learn so much from you, Otto! If I saw this scene out a window all I’d likely see is visual clutter! But when you take the photo and give it a hint of a vintage tone, it’s interesting and attractive to me. I don’t always understand how, but I do take note!
I have always liked how we all see differently, even when we look at the same thing. That is what makes photography so interesting.
i love how you included the poles in the forefront. it adds balance and a sense of “being there”. the hues are exquisite.
Thank you for the lovely feedback, Sherri.
This photograph is like an old page from our memory… Old yet fascinating!!!
The whole capture is so beautiful. The man sitting under the tree, turning road and I can see the top floor of the building and even sky from there!!
I like you interpretation or understanding of this photo. Thank you for the feedback, Deeksha.
