Hanging clothes, and Oleanders, a photo from Splitsko-Dalmatinska, Coast

Photographer's Note

I dedicate this photo to our friend Veronique "baclama" because I know she like the pictures, with the theme of hanging clothes.
--------------------------

Trogir is one of the most charming cities in the Dalmatian region and an example of coexistence among tourists, hanging clothes and stone with history. The town was declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 1997. This small island stronghold of orthogonal plant runs in one breath is one of the Romanesque-Gothic complex best preserved in the Adriatic and the whole central Europe. In a span of land churches and Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque palaces happen.

In medieval times, it was protected by the Kamerlengo fortress on the west end. The strength of Venetian origin remains in place, but is unable to repel the siege of the hordes of tourists every summer invade the island.

An unmissable event is the magnificent Cathedral of San Lorenzo, the mouth of the narrow roads. The Romanesque portal was carved in 1240 with the dedication of a nineteenth-century narrative novelist by the great master Radovan. There are two large sculptures of naked as Adam and Eve in Eden caused to be plugged to the fourteenth century. In the same square of the old cathedral Cipiko palace in Venetian Gothic style, and the loggia surmounted by a belfry of 1471, which served as a court, in addition to provisional prison and auditorium, and in the cities rise the Italian Renaissance.

-------------------------------------------------

Le dedico esta foto a nuestra amiga Veronique 澱aclama�, pues se que le gustan las fotos, con el tema de ropa tendida.
-----------------------

Trogir es una de las ciudades mas encantadoras de la region D疝mata y un ejemplo de convivencia entre turistas, ropa tendida y piedra con historia. La villa fue declarada patrimonio de la humanidad por la Unesco en 1997. Este peque reducto isle de planta ortogonal que se recorre en un suspiro es uno de los complejos rom疣ico-gicos mejor conservados del Adri疸ico y de toda Europa central. En un palmo de terreno se suceden las iglesias y los palacios rom疣icos, gicos, renacentistas y barrocos.

En 駱oca medieval, estaba protegida por la fortaleza de Kamerlengo en el extremo oeste. La fortaleza de origen veneciano sigue en su sitio, pero es incapaz de repeler el asedio de las hordas de turistas que verano tras verano invaden la isla.

Una cita ineludible es la esplendorosa catedral de San Lorenzo, donde desemboca el laberinto de callejuelas. El ptico rom疣ico fue tallado en el a 1240 con el esmero narrativo de un novelista decimonico por el gran maestro Radovan. Se trata de dos esculturas de gran tama de Ad疣 y Eva semidesnudos como en el Ed駭 provocaron que se tapara hasta el siglo XIV. En la misma plaza de la catedral se levantan el viejo palacio Cipiko, de estilo gico veneciano, y la logia rematada por un campanario de 1471, que hac僘 las veces de tribunal, adem疽 de c疵cel provisional y de sala de espect當ulos, como en las ciudades del Renacimiento italiano.

Hello Luis,

This is a charming photo of laundry day in Trogir, one of my favorite towns in Croatia. The textured old masonry walls virtually define the architecture of Croatia, and here you've used them as the backdrop for vegetation and laundry.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Luis
are you sure you were not in Italy when you took this photo?
haha

You left the sky out of the frame and that was the smart choice indeed. the flowers, the window shutters, the stone work, lots of other subjects to make the scene all come together. nice shot
cheers

Hello Luis,
I think most of us enjoy photos of laundry hanging from balconies or outside windows. Such photos usually have a great charm and fine colours. You observed this discreet corner well, a few steps away from the most obvious tourist attractions. All aspects of ordinary lives of ordinary people are attractive to me. This is a very nice collage of flowers, laundry, windows and bricks, well observed and well handles.
Kind regards,
Gert

ikeharel (112475) 2016-09-21 2:14

Hola Luis,
With the hanging laundry managed to combine nicely the colors of the Oleander tree (We call it in Hebrew "Harduff").
Fine clear details.
Buenas dias,
Ike

Hello Luis,

A small picture but a very pleasant picture with the flowers, clothes and shutters around the window.
Sharpness and clarity are wonderful.
Composition and presentation are perfect.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Hello Luis
Intriguing picture with two elements that don稚 suit very well in my opinion: Drying laundry and beautiful white flowers. But I must admit it gives a fascinating scene that is worth to be published. I marvellous example of daily life photography.

Hi Luis
You have succeeded in using your viewpoint aided by influential red forcing the eye to look deeper into the 'show' The evergreen shrub lends the extra colour breaker and liveliness to this ordinary mundane situation. Well done, Congrats.
Best regards
