BO-KAAP COLORS, a photo from Western Cape, West

Photographer's Note

Bo-Kaap is a village in central Cape Town, it was the place where the muslins, brought from Asia, lived like slaves and prisoners. They painted the houses with strong colors in a way to protest against the Dutch, who painted the houses in white only.

.........................................

Bo-Kaap � um bairro da regi縊 central da Cidade do Cabo. Era nesse local que viviam os mu輹lmanos, trazidos da ﾁsia, que eram escravos ou prisioneiros. Eles pintavam as casas com cores fortes numa forma de protesto contra o dom匤io holand黌, j� que os brancos pintavam suas casas de branco.

Hello Jorge,

A small entrance with fence and a small part of the handrail of the stairway make your picture attractive.
Sharpness and colours make these picture attractive.
A nice composition, excellent captured.
Nice done, TFS.

Hola Jorge.
Una bonita composicion, con este plano cerrado sobre una parte del edificio, la imagen tiene un potente grafismo y resulta muy efectista.
Iluminacion y nitidez, ambas estan perfectas.
Buen trabajo. Me encanta la imagen.
Pasa un buen dia.
Saludos muy cordiales.
Luis.
