Rural Sight


Pianacerro is a little village on the hills near Ascoli Piceno..
(elev.400 mt)
There are 10 inhabitants during the winter.. maybe less..
and in the summer 50/100!?!?!
It’s what we can say... a little peace of the rural history gone!!!
what it remains is.. houses and old people... but evrything good!!
it’s a place full of atmosfere indeed.. ;))
I have taken this small sight of a little alley..
and i have tryed to grab his own taste..

stay is my mood...

Ciao Marco :)

A very nice shot ! I feel half 'afraid' by the left side and deeply peaceful by the warm golden light and the cat on the right side ...
The wheelbarrow is well placed in this sight, great detail on rural place.
THe U2's song is a good choice ... soft music for this shot.
Congrats for the original title on your frame :)
Ciao
Marylou ;)

Hi Marco,
I am touched by your subject and note. Everywhere in the world, the small villages are disappearing. Modernity, urbanization and the excessive industrualisation make them dying away . With them, it is a life style and a collective memory which disappears.
The contrast with darkness and light is so efficient, here! And the cat seems to invite us to follow him towards a luminous and warm tomorrow! A ray of hope, perhaps!
Very well seen and done! Annie

Ciao Marco,
By seeing your photograph I remembered like a film scene. The cat shows the way for the exit to us or to show us another thing at the end of the tunnel. Imaginative shot.
Ciao ciao

Ciao Marco,
Into the lifeless alley a kitten gives a life. There is light on the end of all roads. This is the fate of many villages. Very good composition. Good work. Congratulations.
Ciao, Zsú

useful thniking..

Hmmm..

U2?
heh...all lyrics by heart...part of my live when i was about 14..all albums...I was freak i have listened only to them..
i can still sing all songs without text in front of me..
So many emotions about them..i loved Bono so much!
It was insanity..he loves Poland so much..he wrote "new years day" for Lech Walesa..
...
lately i am thinking about what is useful and what isn't in live...in general..
and about knowledge that i have..
that brings so trrryfing conclusions!!


HAHA thanks for this recall Marco!!
listen to Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of ...i didn't listen to them at all for so long :D
It's amazing to hear it again!!
I associate this song with hospital:D
When i was in it i heard it all the time there!!
And i still remember my doctor!! SO handsome!!:P


PS. I like that wheelbarrow on the wall!!:D
hahaha Here is same..villages are dying!!!
All people went abroad or to the big cities..
Poland is not the country of opportunities even In big cities..

Hello Marco:)

This capture is magnificent:) I like the way you composed it and that beautiful light in the end of the alley... even the cat seems to whisper 'come with me'...
Very well seen (the wheelbarrow is a great subject here:)), fantastic mood created:)
Bravo!!!!
Best,
Iza

Well seen. Excellent exposure and good job capturing it with the cat in it.

Hello Marco.
Superb picture from that alley.
Light is really stunning. You managed to gat the forground good visible aswell.
The cat is placed in a lovely looking way.
Excellent work, Bravisimo.!
Ciao ciao from Jan

Well Marco, you totally managed to capture the mood of this place - it's just excellent and a joy to see! That cat is looking at you - maybe he wants you to take him home? No, he is asking us to follow him to places unknown.

Ciao Marco, bella immagine dai tempi che furono con la carriola e il gatto, è sempre più difficile trovare questi angolini rurali, splendida la luce, bravo, ciao Silvio

Hi Marco,
What a surprising image! Excellent details; the cat, the wheelbarrow all nice items with their specific contribution to the scene. It makes me think: what is goin on here. A kind of suspence! The difference in light is striking. The warm yellow and the cold white light devides the picture in to two parts. All together a superb posting my friend!

Hola Marco,
precioso trabajo,
realmente los detalles son originales y magníficos, iluminación y excelente pov...
saludos amigo.

Ciao Marco,

mi fa piacere che tu sia venuto nella mia terra d'origine. Hai scattato una foto bellissima secondo me, una delle migliori nel tuo già bel portfolio. La luce calda sullo sfondo contrasta benissimo con i toni freddi del muro più vicino. La carriola è un dettaglio scenografico e il gatto colto mentre si gira contribuisce a creare un piccolo capolavoro.

Bravissimo!

Superb composition to really draw our eye toward the warmth at the end of the lane!
Excellent moment with the cat to add to the homey quality

This is super nice and a great way to show how "light" leads the eye, and putting the "light" off center leads the eye across the pic, instead of DEAD center! Very nice, and love the kitty too!!

ciao Marco,
in questa foto ,trovo molto buona la costruzione,l'impatto della luce simile a quando varchi una galleria e i due segni della
civilta' rurale come la carriola e l'animale
di casa per antonomasia,come il gatto..

Hi Marco,
You looks like the contrast between gold and silver, this tone of colors is very similar to your previous shot in Pompei ruin for my eyes...
anyway the cart, the cat and old stone wall are well composed and these make tasteful atmosphere in provincial village.
lighting is of course very nice setting.
thnak you,
Akihisa

hi Marco
nice composition with the cat and this place with the contrast warm/cold colours

Hello Marco,
1st I have to say I LOVE the font you used in your frame! Very different!

Nice control of the light in the walkway.. I think the cat adds to the depth.. What a wonderful place you have captured.. sad to hear its hardly populated..

Wonderful light and contrasts here, Marco! Cave-dwellers, or houses cut into the rocks? This reminds me a little of the tunnels at Duernstein in Austria, leading from the Danube upwards through the rocks into the mediaval village perched on the rocky ledge.....

Hello Marco! Amazing scenery, amazing place. Wonderful cat. Beautiful light and shadow. Perfect composition. Ideal capture. Good luck!

Hi Marco,
I love the ambiance of a small almost abandomned village or one of those small rural places where nobody is ever around to show you the way or when someone dares to sneak out of the house and wave at you in passing, yes ,nothing can beat that feeling of being alone,of deep solitude .Great shot here this is such a moody scene , my type of photography,
Well seen and the cat is a nice feature in your compo,

Ciao Marco
It's a tried and tested technique of Jack the Ripper to lure his victims with a pitiful cat!! So I won't get in there eventhough it's quite attractive by the warmth of light on the historic wall and the ancient whellbarrow that completes the rustic decor!
Ciao amico.

This is unbelievable. My mother and her siblings were born in the house above this walkway. I know this little shortcut to the back of the house and hillside well. Thanks for posting it!

Excellent subject and composition, with appealing mood created by the light and with strong textural elements. I like how the cat is glancing back at the camera/viewer, as if saying "follow me"! I'm not crazy about the style/size of the caption...the shading draws too much attention, in my opinion, but otherwise this is a top notch image. Well done!
