Someone is very fond of red and blue, a photo from Ragusa, Sicily

Photographer's Note

‘Modica - Someone’s very fond of red and blue’

Another photo of the district Dente (Sicilian language, coming from d’oriente). The picture is taken from in Modica Alta.
In the labyrinth-like view of the old town on the hill, it was the laundry which really caught my attention.

Have also a look in the workshop.

Modica in south-eastern Sicily is situated in the dramatic landscape of the Monti Iblei, a range of high ground divided up by deep valleys and surprisingly populous towns.

Important in medieval times, Modica was rebuilt after the great earthquake of 1693 and now boasts fine late-baroque architecture as well as a medieval old town.
Apart of its baroque architecture you’ll find there lots of picturesque views.

Salut Paul,
Bien cadrées ces toitures avec cet enchevêtrement d'habitations. Les teintes apportent des détails intéressants et sont donc très photogéniques, le contraste est bien géré.

Hello Paul,

Well chosen title to this wonderful picture. Amazing how densely buil is this town. There is no space between the houses. Superb all three pictures giving us the idea of Modica. Fantastic patchwork. So many lovely houses, a photographers heaven. I haven't heard of this fascinating place.

Bonjour, cher Paul,
J'aime bien découvrir la ville par-dessus les toits, l'on y découvre un monde un peu différent. La ville s'étale joliment sous nos yeux.
Belle réussite.
Amitiés.

Dag Paul,

Antwoord op Brugge, u heeft het bij het rechte eind, de plaats noemt Herentplein met de kleine metalen sculpturen, en is een passage van vele toeristen van Den Dijver naar het Minnewater over het kleine boogbrugje.

Alle drie uw foto's zijn zeker het bekijken waard, ze geven duidelijk een beeld van de stads ontwikkeling en de architectuur van Modica.
Mooi gefotografeerd uit de hoogte met een heldere kijk en een perfecte scherpte.
Heel mooi gedaan Paul. Bedankt.

Prettig weekend,
John.

Dag buurman voor vandaag,
Het antwoord op je vraag is dat het iemand moet zijn die oorspronkelijk uit Haarlem komt, want rood-blauw zijn de kleuren van de stad. Ik kan altijd echt genieten van zo’n daken foto en zo’n kleurig accentje in het midden maakt het alleen nog maar mooier.
Groet Rob

Hello Paul,
Roof-top's scenery over the old town houses, spotted selected object to refer as a focal point. I also looked around, and see a nice veranda on the lower part of the picture, with green vegetation, that appear well cared, and all of the houses has wooden window-shutters mostly green or brown.
Fine clear to the smallest details.
Bravo,
Ike

holmertz (92766) 2016-06-04 2:57

Hello Paul,
These photos are all extremely attractive and anyone could have been an official upload. Maybe my favorite is the WS #3 (added after midnight Pacific time?), where you found nice flowers for the foreground and the town looks like a fantastic mosaic. But they are all good. This one you have chosen has a touch of cubism and except for the red laundry the colour scheme is quite modest and restrained.
Kind regards,
Gert

Bonjour Paul,

Un genre de photos de toits que j'apprécie vraiment beaucoup. Il faut d'abord trouver le point de vue parfait, ce qui est fait ici. Ensuite, il faut bien représenter les textures, ce qui est fait ici.

Bon samedi

Serge

Hello Paul,

this is a great capture of this beautiful village in Sicily.
Very characteristic houses with their roofs, and great colours.
Well done
Cristina

Hallo Paul,
Een prachtige wirwar aan daken, straten, ramen en deuren in dit oude stadje. De dakpannen vormen mooie patronen en de blauw en geel geschilderde huizen vormen een mooie afwisseling tegen over de heersende bruinige tinten. De blauw-rode was trekt echter de meeste aandacht in het midden.

Ciao Paul
gran bella serie di panoramiche da questa bella città.
Penso che sia la più bella città che ho visitato nel mio tour.
Il suo tetti, le sue facciate e la sua costruzione in salita ha senza dubbio un fascino enorme.
Ottimo lavoro, molto accurato.
Buona domenica
Carlo

PS sono stato 5 giorni in Sicilia....

Hi, Paul. A beautiful composition with so many colors, texture and character. The rooftops of the buildings contrasts nicely with the blue red and warm colors. The point of view and framing adds to the composition.

cornejo (61504) 2016-06-05 12:31

Hi Paul, very good view of this interesting city, very well composed and captured in this good and beautiful photography. An interesting image with good sharpness, depth, light, color and quality. Very good and nice work perfectly realized, my congratulations my friend. Thanks for sharing this interesting work.

Good night and happy start to the week.
All the best from southern Spain.
Angel.

Royaldevon (75252) 2016-06-05 13:46

Hello Paul,

This is like a football crowd of houses: tightly packed together, eyes wide open and favourite colours on display! It is so chummy, so friendly, a real neighbourhood of shoulder-to-shoulder houses.
I'm amazed at the details you can see from this elevated viewpoint.
A well composed and well exposed photograph.

Thank you for sharing this,
Bev :-)

Fis2 (155487) 2016-06-05 14:01

Witaj Paul!
Interesting view, curious buildings.
I like framing and colors.
Roofs make impression.
Good night and nice new week.
Krzysztof

macjake (96157) 2016-06-05 15:45

Hi Paul
yup, keep posting these, they're awesome.
love the look of the collage buildings/homes like this.
and when I travel or think about Italy, its these exact same type of shots I want to capture.

beautiful! great to leave out the skyline, and I like that you included the yellow home up at the top to add more vibrant colours
cheers

Cricri (176) 2016-06-06 4:01

Bonjour Paul

belle journée
cricri

ChrisJ (159918) 2016-06-06 4:40

Salut Paul,

Effective tight framing and cropping that focuses attention on the sea of red rooftops and blue water tanks and solar panels. Superb sharpness and nice to have a couple of lemon yellow facades to break the repetitive pattern. Tfs!

adramad (66924) 2016-06-06 12:49

Hello Paul.
A sensational close-up of this town, where the houses are so close together, it seems that no streets, an image with many details that recreate several different shades of color in many points, blues, creams, and a touch of red in the washing.
A magnificent colorful which gives the image a lot of chromatic wealth.
Very good management of lighting and very good sharpness.
Well done. I like it.
I wish you a nice week.
Best wishes.
Luis.

Hi Paul
You took this picture from a favorable viewpoint which allows to see this sea of roofs in an excellent way.
I like the Mediterranean mood.

TFS & regards

Hi Paul!
So many old houses and so much to see here, so many little details. Good composition, it was a good idea not to include the sky.
