@Ana Lúcia: thanks, Ana. It's located in a quiet corner of the city centre. Unless you're actually looking for it or if you live in that street, not much traffic will pass through it.

Kylie Greenan from Richmond, Australia

@Kylie Greenan: seriously, a blonde? never expected that since you seem to able to handle your camera very well :-)) (before any blonde would feel offended...i'm just kidding. Kylie started it :-)
but I'm glad it makes sense..hehe. Thanks, Kylie, for the lovely comments and for making me smile :-)

Nill@ from Sweden, Sweden

I agree with ANA, love the tones. The small street "theme" is my favourite!

@Nill@: Thank you very much, Nill. I have the impression that in general, a lot of people actually like those small streets. Actually, I do as well :-) Can't really explain why but I think it's because it seems like you're discovering something although millions of people before you already been there :-)

@Ted: why thank you, Ted. Have to admit I'm spending quite some time on prepping those pics. hence, it always pleasures me to hear what people think about it; good or bad.

Florence from Paris, France

Jolie tonalité gris/bleu... qui colle parfaitement à ces bons veiux pavés... tout à l'air et tranquille... j'aime les lampadaires et ces murs de brique peints en blanc... superbe ciel ! Photoshop ? Ou une pause longue ?

21 Sep 2008 12:46pm

@Florence: ton habileté d'observation m'étonne toujours. (aucune idée comment on dit 'observation skills' en français :-)
la photo consiste de 3 expos. vitesse de fermeture assez longue. Mais en plus, j'ai rajouté un flou pour que le ciel soit plus 'intéressant' :-) merci beaucoup, Florence!

Ian from Adelaide, Australia

The tones in this are amazing!

21 Sep 2008 12:48pm

@Ian: Thanks, Ian. For me, those felt like the right colors for presenting this marvelous little street. It always takes me quite some time to decide which toning to apply :-)
