The purple hat, a photo from Milan, Lombardia

Photographer's Note

We are still in the municipal park of my country, today I show you the entrance to the "limonaia", a winter greenhouse that housed citrus plants in past centuries, and then was abandoned. Fortunately, it will soon be restored to its former glory thanks to the regional restructuring project of important cultural assets. And the blooming wisteria is the symbol of the rebirth of this place. A wide view into the WS.

Siamo sempre nel parco comunale del mio paese, oggi vi mostro l'ingresso della "limonaia", una serra invernale che nei secoli scorsi ospitava piante di agrumi, e poi � stata abbandonata. Per fortuna a breve sar� riportata agli antichi splendori grazie al progetto di ristrutturazione regionali di importanti beni culturali. Ed il glicine in fiore � il simbolo della rinascita di questo posto. Una vista larga nel WS.

Hello Luciano,
The WS gives us a wider view that explains what we are looking at, but it was a good idea to use this tightly cropped version for main post. The blue flowers certainly get full attention in this closer view. Both photos are well balanced and the light and colours are beautiful. And they both show us that some restoration is essential, so it's good to know that this will be happening soon.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Luciano,
Purple flowers look beautiful. Somehow they don't fit my impression of April, but what do I know. Surprising to see them above such worn out window shades.

Hello Luciano,
Very well spotted, those charming purple flowers over the closed wooden shutters of the house. The other details and textures of the old fa軋de are nicely seen in this sidelight as well.

luciano

marvelous use of the plant and its flowers to frame this window with so beautiful style. you got a special view of the pair. it is ever interesting as the people takes the plants to special places making them to go in a special direction. my grandfather in portugal did that with the grapes and created a veranda filled with them.
take care

Bonsoir Luciano,

Le sujet est bien cadr�. La prose de vue permet de voir les d騁ails des persiennes et des fleurs. La lumi鑽e rehausse les couleurs de l'image. Bonne soir馥.

salut Luciano,
Superbes ces glycines en fleurs, c'est l'駱oque et ces fleurs embellissent les fa軋des, bien cadr� ici avec cette luminosit� et cette parfaite nettet�, bien trouv� le titre avec cette comparaison avec un chapeau.

Hi Luciano
A lovely image with great contrast between the natural purple flowers (I think wisteria?) and the aging stonework and woodwork. Here in England wealthy people built orangeries to house citrus fruits and tender plants they still can be seen in many of our stately homes.

Ciao Luciano

The purple wisteria makes a charming overlay to the weathered wooden windows. Good sharpness and effective tight framing. Tfs!

Ciao Caro Luciano,

I have heard of purple hearts but not purple hats!!

I like the idea of the wisteria signalling the rebirth of the greenhouse.
In your main photograph it looks like a beautiful decoration adorning the window area of this elegant section of building. In the w/s, we can more clearly see that this is an abandoned building, with grass growing close to its footings.
Your photographs show how clever viewpoints can be in creating different impressions.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Luciano, the purple wisteria looks lovely set against the faded wooden shutters, and the title fits the picture perfectly.
It was a good idea to make this crop, as it emphasises the purple against the more natural colours of the wood and stone.
Thanks for the workshop shot too.
Kind regards, Jean.

PaulVDV (63456) 2022-04-21 11:45

Hello Luciano,
Very nice closer view and combination of very different elements as the old wooden shutters, the graphical effect of the decorations under the window and the purple flowers on top.
I also like the picture in the WS but that one could be better with the part of the yellow wall on the right cropped out, I think.
Best regards, Paul

Ciao Luciano,
nice picture of this lost place. The hat of wisteriaflowers giving a living spot to the scene. The wisteria is called "Blauregen" in German = 'blue rain'.
TFS,
Roland

Hello Luciano,
Yep, that window has a lovely hat, or is it hair?

Hi Luciano,

A well chosen subject for a photo. The wisteria flowers turn this old window into a very attractive scene. The textures of the wooden shutter and the building are emphasised by the low angle of sunlight on the wall. Great sharpness and composition.

Ciao Luciano,
Lovely photos. Such a decorative windows.
I also liked your workshop with the church from Sal Rei. I noticed that depending on the angle or type of the year the color of the walls becomes sometimes more white and sometimes more yellow. Just a temperature of the photo I think.
The playground which was in your photo was fenced around so I was not able to use it as a foreground.
But I have seen photos with it before.
I think I cannot comment under the workshop that is why I wrote it here :)

Hi Luciano
Beautiful view of this window with purple flowers. Clarity and lighting done well. Beautiful shot. Thanks for sharing

adramad (73442) 2022-04-26 9:35

Hi Luciano.
Wonderful composition with this old but elegant window, which is beautifully adorned by that wisteria in bloom, precisely today I was taking photos of this plant, since it is its flowering time here too, the photo of the WS with the entrance door and two windows, It is very symmetrical and charming, once restored it will surely gain in beauty.
Great color that brings out the details of the image, the sharpness is excellent and the lighting is splendid.
Very good work. I like very much.
You have a good day. Very best regards.
Luis.

ikeharel (114569) 2022-05-26 11:17

I remember such old wooden shutters from long ago here in many places, Luciano. Still in use in your town.
The purple flowers gave extra vividness to the facade picture. Fine outcome.
Buona serata,
Ike
