Photographer’s Note
Fatigue Street
..................
Walking along one of the most picturesque neighborhoods and oldest of the Colombian capital, the La Candelaria, it is common to find streets like this: roads in pavers, colorful facades, displays of nationalism, famous streets and a pleasant atmosphere.
Although the sky did not help me much, a product of a cloudy afternoon, I tried to balance the frame, giving depth to the scene across the street that leads to the Bolivar Place.

The colours of your flag is wonderful here and adds colour to what seems a very cloudy day. Although I missed Colombia on my South American tour there are abundance of these rolling streets throughout SA which I enjoyed. You have done very well here.

hello John,
I don't think the cloudy sky is a problem here, it seems that it actually helps to emphasise the colours of the buildings and the flags. I like a lot the perespective of the street, and the yellow bus at the end is a good colour accent. very nice shot.
best,
Kristine

Colours all over in this great street scene, John. I love that touch of yellow at the end of the street, all the way down. Excellent depth!
Interesting street name, I guess looking at your picture, it doesn't need any further explanation.

Buenos días John,
Los colores vivos hacen olvidar el cielo gris. Estas fachadas típicas son agradables. La calle recorrida de peatones es viva. Una imagen de Bogotá, de buena calidad.
Pasa un buen día.
Cordialmente

Hola amiguito,
Me gusta esta calle de La Candelaria;
sobretodo que se respira un muy buen
ambiente. A mi si me parece que el cielo
si le ayuda--hubiera afectado si hubiese
sido completamente blanco. Pero el gris
del firmamento contrasta muy bien los tonos
vividos de las casas y de la bandera.
Me gusta esta foto!
Te mando un abrazo !
Maryori :)

Hi John,
As you say, the clouds didn't help you, but you've more than compensated by producing this fine example of the typical street scene one would see in La Candelaria.
I like the composition you have chosen, the wide angle of the street leads me into the shot to discover the many details to be found in the image.
Very nice capture.
Regards
Peter

Hello John!
It seems to be a pretty nice neighborhood, where the old buildings were well preserved!
It's also pretty colorful!
I like the contrasting grey sky as well!
Good quality photograph to show us all another part of Colombia in such a nice way!
TFS - Congratulations!

hi John
It is always good to see different kind of street scene and this Fatigue Street has a strange name to it but shows a colorful side of the old style that brings back history.
You have done a nice composition to show the architecture and perpsective view.

Hello John,
This is a typical street with all the warmth of Latin America, and therefore creates a lovely contrast with the cloudy sky.
Well done!

Hola John,
espectacular y profunda perspectiva en esta vista sobre la ciudad desde esta bonita calle. Me gusta su arquitectura sencilla con apuntes coloniales, y sus detalles como el pavimento, las farolas y los maravillosos balcones.
La casa azul y la bandera colombiana aportan un gran toque cromático a esta tarde gris.
Bien realizada, amigo.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hello John,
Fantastic and vivid facade colors are eye catching every where in Latin / Central America, except Suriname and Guyana as I saw currently. Your view is excellent with slope of narrow street. Visitors help to scale your view perfectly but the flag and balconies are really splendid additions. Congratulations. Have a nice weekend.
Friendly Regards,

Hola John.
La verdad que estas fotos tuyas de las calles de la vieja Bogota son una maravilla. Tu alto POV nos permite disfrutar de tan bella vista y unos colores estupendos. La arquitectura de las típicas casas y edificios de otra época producen una magnifica composición.
Felicitaciones.
Un fuerte abrazo y un Domingo para descansar.

Hola John,
Es realmente una calle muy pintoresca y encantadora. Me gusta mucho la perspectiva. Se es cierto que el cielo no es el más interesante, la ausencia de sombras permite una nitidez muy buena y parece realzar los colores, por señal muy bonitos, con las banderas a reforzar ese efecto.
Saludos, José.

Hi John
I like the perspective you've managed to put in this image. Moreover the yellow tram (or bus) echoes the upper part of the flag. Nicely done indeed.
Best wishes for 2009
Emmanuel
