That is the eeriest Provencal street that I’ve seen. I bet it was a bit cheerier in color, but it still looks like the walls could just decide to consume you if they wished. All angles and shadows. Nice one!
On the contrary, the colour version shows the decay and neglect even more. No gentrification here. Just poor people living there trying to adorn their environment as best as they can afford. The b/w version with the high contrast of the sunlight and sky makes the photo a little bit more … “artistic” while the colour version is the realistic version …
Thank you!
Those old walls are like proper elderly ladies who are just about to sit down, but must adjust their petticoats before doing do. Great angles and shadows. The person at the end of the street brings it all into scale and focus. But then, I haven’t a clue were to go.
Okay, so it is an image from the 19th Century or earlier, but then these buildings are likely from the 17th or 18th Century when petticoats were proper attire for ladies.
love it !
Thank you! Das freut mich!

Now this is an interesting image – old ladies in petticoats. I have to think about it, thanks for this.

But aren’t these buildings old, hearing impaired men who lean to each other and shout? ;-)
What?…..huh? Was I leanin’ on you?
LOL
But look at all the open mouths!
Okay, lean forward to each other? Lean towards each other?
Hmm. :-(
