EMPTY STREETS, a photo from Erongo, South

Photographer's Note

This is a view of an modern area of Swakopmund, where we can see how they used the traditional German heritage like an inspiration for the new buildings.
Curiously the streets of the town were empty most part of the day, I guess the town received many visitors during the summer, but not during the winter.

Esta � uma vista de uma 疵ea moderna de Swakopmund. Como podem ver eles usaram a heran軋 germ穗ica como inspira鈬o para adornar estes edif兤ios novos. Curiosamente as ruas desta cidade estavam quase vazias durante a maior parte do dia, creio que a cidade s� ganha mais movimento durante os dias de ver縊.

Hello Jorge,
this street is so empty and also so perfectly clean that it doesn't seem real at all. The buildings remind me of the ideally built houses for dolls with their pastel colors and white window frames. Nicely captured and from good POV. I like the colors, natural but properly saturated as well as very good sharpness.
Thanks for sharing and all the best
Kamila

Hello Jorge,
Yes, a very clean image and very pleasant too. It conjures up memories from long ago. Excellent exposure control and just pleasant to view. Well done.

Hola Jorge.
Preciosa esta linea de fachadas, en un buen POV con esta linea diagonal, a la vista de esta imagen, parece que estamos viendo una ciudad europea, supongo que debe ser el area mas moderna y de mas alto nivel.
Excelente luminosidad y muy buena nitidez, con una hermosa gama de colores..
Muy buen trabajo. Me gusta.
Disfruta del domingo.
Mis mejores deseos.
Luis.

Oi Jorge!
Sabe que suas fotos da ﾁfrica do Sul me desanimaram um pouco para visitar aquele pa﨎, n縊 pela beleza das vistas, dos lugares e de suas fotos, mas pela vaziez das ruas, das praias, tudo meio triste! Por exemplo, sempre quis conhecer o Canad� e fui em 2010... rodei bastante por l�, mas, talvez, por ser inverno (e l� � muito rigoroso), achei tudo como esperava, mas tudo meio triste, vazio, sem vida! Gosto de modernidade, organiza鈬o, sociedade um tiquinho mais evolu冝a, mas tb curto um pouco mais de alegria, vida nas ruas etc.
Aqui a histia se repete... lindos predinhos, bela foto, mas e a vaziez??? Estava chato???
Um forte abra輟,
Neyvan
