[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In the center of the small South Moravian town of Mikulov on the main square is this grand 16th century house with a gorgeous 'Sgraffito' facade. A man looks down at the passers-by from the main window. He has been there for a moment and i have plenty of time to grab my camera and get a few photos of the scene.
'Sgraffito' is a technique of wall decor produced by applying two layers of plaster tinted in two contrasting colors ( for exemple ---black and white as here ) to a surface , once dry the top layer is 'scratched 'to reveal the one beneath .Lots of exemples of this method are found throughout the Czech Republic.

CAROL!!! How are you? This is a beautiful shot of the building and it's windows. I like the nice touch of the windowbox and flowers. The red giving a little color to the already beautifully, detailed building. I wonder what the man is viewing?

This architectural design is unreal to these American eyes. I don't think I could quit shooting the details.

Great addition to the theme. Lisa

Bonjour Carol,
Quel superbe édifice. Cette technique m'était inconnue avant de voir ta photo et j'ai trouvé des informations fort pertinentes à son propos sur Google.
Excellente entrée pour le thème. Ce balcon fleuri, avec ses fleurs rouges, est tout à fait bien bien placé dans le tiers supérieur de l'image. Les couleurs contrastées et les belles textures sont des attraits supplémentaires. Bravo! Annie

:)

Bonjour Carol
Quel plaisir de te revoir!
À cause des décorations exotiques appliquées aux murs, cette vue est beaucoup plus agréable que les décors de red light dans lesquels on peut voir des professionnelles à leur châssis, accoudées sur un oreiller!
Amicalement.
Robert

What a beautiful and interesting building . Excellent artwork and your photo with the man looking down is fantastic to add that human touch and show that this is a real life scene. Just wonderful! Thanks also for sharing the interesting note about the artwork.

Kind regards
