So simple! So lovely,Some time back I saw one such picture shot near the Montmarte (Paris). Wondering of you could share the details of the shot taken.
A very sweet picture which brings a lot of sweet thoughts. An older street with a lot of past, older days and at the same time a feeling of safety with tall walls, the umbrella and the cane.
Beautiful photo with a lot of depth in many levels. The the depth of the narrow alley, the black and white, the old structure with wires and cables...one with an umbrella and one without! Very sweet story too.
P.S. To answer your question: it is a urinal... it is written on it in French... I was just trying to joke ans use the Magritte saying on one of his paintins "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" depicting a pipe... :-)
@ R. S. Kumar. I took the shot in Dec. of 2011 in Siena, Italy on a rainy day. I was walking and I saw these two people in front and I snapped a picture. :-) Then I converted it to black and white and cropped it.
Wow, in a way, this looks like a man-made canyon, and the glittering street, the river running thru it! The lighting is fantastic and the detail is amazing considering such high contrasts. Awesome shot.
Oh James, I love love this photo. Just perfect. BTW, I forgot to join the WR gang and I had a good one yesterday. Maybe I'll put it in next weekend if that's ok. V
Great contrasts. I like the details of all the cables and the lines in this photo. Nice one.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of south-east of France. But then I saw the brickwalls,and cables, and knew it was Italy. Great mood here, a lot of nostalgy..
ReplyDeleteAfter an Italian meal in that Ristorante, it's good to walk to home, mainly if you enjoyed Italian wine too! :)
ReplyDeleteHugs and a nice weekend,

Beautiful shot James. Especially the glittering of the wet street with the little bend. Love it.
ReplyDeleteVery charming. The font for the restaurant is oh so retro.
ReplyDeleteUsing the sign to show where the photo was taken was a great idea!
ReplyDeleteAnd you know how I like your rainy shots. :)
Have a good weekend James!

ReplyDeleteYour photo could be a still from a Fredrico Fallini film shot in the 1950s. Stunning and timeless.

ReplyDeleteMakes me wonder about them...where they have been, what is their story, who they love...
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if maybe you would link this post into my new meme The Human Condition. I think it would fit perfectly with the theme
