an alleyway, a photo from Kosi, East

Photographer's Note

trekking up through the villages means negotiating main streets just wide enough for the pack mule trains to get through
they run up and down once a day over 2000 metres altitude delivering goods and taking back produce
when you hear the clatter of them approaching one needs to find a bolt hole to allow passage

good composition, very crisp details, but the white laundry in the background is a little over exposed.
but overall this is shot with character:)

Hallo Geof!
This one reminds me a bit of the alleyways in Ticino, southern Switzerland. A world out of stone ... I like the perspective in this photo very much. The eyes nearly are "drawn" into the village.
Greetings from cold Siegen - but still without any snow!

Hello Geof,
Hope you had a Happy Christmas and New Year. I like the composition here looking up this narrow alleyway with its marvellous stone walls and paving. The cockerel and red bucket are nice bonuses making a good contrast with the grey stone walls. Very good tones and clarity.

Hello Geof! Good photo (and note) showing the "main street". Life conditions in these places is special, I see. The photo has a nice composition and it's very realistic; however, I'd have liked not to see that ugly pipe on the left :-) (but that's the way the village is, isn't it?).
Good work! TFS and best regards,
Inés
