[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The subject regards a construction called "Trullo".The trulli, limestone dwellings found in the southern region of Puglia, are remarkable examples of drywall (mortarless) construction, a prehistoric building technique still in use in this region. The trulli are made of roughly worked limestone boulders collected from neighbouring fields. Characteristically, they feature pyramidal, domed or conical roofs built up of corbelled limestone slabs.

caio luigi,
you captured the functional rustic character of puglia with one snap of a camera.
well done

Very nice postcard of Trulli, Luigi. I like your sepia tone and your close crop composition only showing us the details of the architecture of this house even if I might have like to see the top of the structure on the left. The light is a bit harsh on the stair-like portion of the roof. But overall a nice way to show us this very typical architecture from that area. Well done!

This is a very good study. Great tonal control and perfect use of the Golden Ratios.

A most interesting history, too.

Very pleasiing indeed.

The sepia tone works pretty well here and lends a slight rustic touch to you rphotograph. Your composition is pretty good too. As has already been mentioned, the light on the stairs is a bit harsh but otherwise its a very good photo. Very well done!

Ciao Luigi no so come non lo vista prima questa. Colori molto significativi in questo tipo di costruzione, contrasto eccezionale. Bravo the photographer's note is very interesting in detailing the history of these Trulli.
