Blue House by the Railroad, a photo from Eastern Cape, West

Photographer's Note

Spring was in full bloom and the blue house makes its contribution. Standing alone by itself and not squashed in amongst a lot of others, or even squatter shacks, one wonders how the owner manages to maintain that status quo.

Hello Neels ,
A so interesting composition , with strong elements in the green nature : the people , the purple tree , and of course the humble blue house .

Hello Neels,
Lovely colours of a South African spring. The blue house and the people are arranged very well around the diagonal railway line. Love the splash of purple blossom.
Kind Regards, Ann

Dag Neels,

Ik kan mij dit bijna niet voorstellen deze wijde wereld met alleen een klein huisje langs deze spoorlijn.
Van uwe twege heel mooi gevonden tijdens de lente periode.
Ik weet niet of uw land nog gevaarlijk is op sommige plaatsen om te komen, maar uw land is een beauty.
Schitterend foto met zeer aangename kleuren, bedankt.

Groeten uit Vlaams België,
John

How colourful! It does not look as if the railway line is in working order. Typical of the African people - sitting outside and socialise with whoever passes by! I like the road on the left leading the eye into the picture; then the grown-ups at the blue house and the youung one in red balancing the children on the right; the other side of the railway line .... the yellow colour linking all the various elements together.

Hi Neels
its interesting to see these 'other' sides of countries and cities...the sides that tourists just don't get to see.
and i notice that you're taking this photo from a far away distance, i'm sure thats deliberate?

and i notice the train tracks....trains often travel through the undesired places, as rich folk never want train tracks running through THAT part of the city.

interesting, i have enjoyed it
Cheers
Craig

Hi Neels,

Firstly I have to congratulate you on your writing of critics & on the presentation of your own work...
Thank you for sharing this image of an everyday scene - the colours are natural & the overall content I find interesting...
What I like is the children playing not a toy in sight!!!

Kindest regards,
Dawn.
