[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
An old house faced to the ocean at the harbour of Ponta do Sol ...

I spent a lot of time there taking a lot of photos. The place itself gives so many opportunities for photography, the ocean, the fishing boats, the fishermen, the children and of course different lights.
There the sunsets are amazing ... Ponta do Sol means "point of the sun".

The house looks like a one from movies about wild west. 2D houses:-)))
That island is something special. Seems forgoten from the world.
I love your photo.

Une maison qui tombera prochainement car elle me fait penser un peu à la Tour de Pise avec son inclinaison vers la droite. J'aurais possiblement aimé que tu nous la montre au complet cette vieille maison avec juste un peu de la rue à côté mais la rue donne aussi un peu de contexte quoique je la trouve un peu sombre. Une photo qui nous donne une bonne idée de la vie dans cet île. Bravo!

This reminds me of the house where I grew up. In 1977 it literally collapsed around our heads. Funnily enough, that was the day I made the first payment on the apartment I live in now.
Excellently set off against the house on the right of the frame and the hills in the background.

Old ruins always make good subjects to photograph. Very nice.

Hello Sylvie... the patterns created by colours are impressive... Especially, the house in the front includes really strong details... Great work...

sylve dans la réalité, cette maison nous montre ses plaies, je pense qu'elle a beaucoup vu et entendu, elle a perdu tous ses cheveux. très beau comme cadrage.
le petit mot de la fin : " Pourquoi n'as tu pas tamponné ces fils électrique d'une belle poudre de riz? "
