The Architecture of Gent is Superb !! The houses do look like playing houses for children.

I wanted to capture the typical fronts of these houses. Suddenly a coach came around the corner, and a fraction of a second I had this view .... a historical combination of street life and architecture ! Quickly I made my picture and jumped away.

The framing is a pattern, made of one of the shapes of the roof. It is in "doll's house" style I hope. :-)

Ja echt, gewoon net uit een sprookjesboek.
Je moet beslist nog eens teruggaan als er sneeuw is gevallen (zal wel niet komen....).

Prachtig, tijdloos, genieten,

Hallo Joop,
Heel mooi plaatje uit een schitterende stad.
Ik mag er ook graag komen.
Ietsje krap misschien.
Schitterende scherpe details.
Wat ik hier zéér praktisch vind zijn de drollenvangers die achter de paarden zijn bevestigd.

Groet uit Schouwen,
Adri

Hi Joop,
It really look like a postcard to me ! You were at the right place at the right moment. Your frame is very original, but a bit distractive IMO ... TFS,
Ivan

"Dolletjes".
Wat een 'poppenkast' maken ze er daar van, Joop.
Maar behalve je 'omlijsting' een prachtige foto.
Groeten uit Bergen op Zoom.

Hi Joop,
Fantastic composition, very interesting buildings, sophisticated architecture. Sharp and detailed documentation from Gent. I think this frame was a 'bingo choise' to this image, fits very well to its environment. Well done, TFS!
Best wishes,
Kristof

very rich and interesting image , no comment on the stroke of luck of having the cart swinging right by, but as in most things in life timing is everything!!!
on a more subjective side, I am not sure about the frame though, as the image is already so rich that all that detail distracts me a little (as my coworkers know my attention span is very brief) if i knew how to reframe it, i would try and post a workshop with a black plain frame. this picture is so beautiful it need no support
:)

Hello Joop,
I love this architecture , it is indeed a charmer.
Good timing with the coach and horses lending to a very well composed shot.
Very charming.
I think the frame suits well.
TFS, Joni

Hi Joop
a good capture of a lovely scene with this lovely colorful "doll's house"
nice details.
the original frame is a bit of a distraction and makes the photo "over loaded"
I sent to ws and I hope it's ok with you.

Hello Joop
Wonderful house very well captured with a great detail and light, and excelent vivid colours. I agree with Tsilla and Anna about the frame, but is just a detail that has nothing to do with the photo.
Have a great we, mb

Hallo Joop,

Een heel leuk plaatje, een mooi geheel met het rijtuig op de voorgrond. Jammer van dat stukje dak maar dat heb ik ook wel eens, die daken zijn ook zo hoog tegenwoordig en dan moet het nog snel ook! Verder mooi van kleur, scherp en het kader in stijl w.b architectuur.

groetjes, Marga
