Bus stop with a view, a photo from Podlaskie, East

Photographer's Note

This is a rural bus stop in the town of Niemirov close to the Bielorusian border. Such bus stops are scattered throughout the region and one often sees people waiting at them although I didnt see that many buses. Buses are important as distances are quite big in this province and not everyone has a car. Many people move by bycicles.

Behind is the catholic church of the town. This town is exclusively catholic even though the region has a significant orthodox population.

Bonjour daniel

A good daily life scene, from the Polish countryside. Good color, lighting, & sharpness. Bon travail!

I really like this one Damiel - I think you've captured the place perfectly - a really nicely balanced composition with this diagonal running through the bus stop from cross to man and the note referencing Catholicism - it just brings to mind the real feel of the place - from cradle to death.

nice work!!

Bonjour Daniel,
Une belle image de vie quotidienne de la campagne polonaise. Ce qui ressort ici c'est le "laisser aller" qui se ressent ŕ traver certains détails: le panneau de l'arręt de bus (on se demande comment il tient encore), le tableau d'affichage qui s'affaisse, le poteau électrique renforcé par une "béquille". Par contre l'église, elle, a l'air parfaitement entretenue. Quels contrastes!
Bon dimanche.
Brigitte

Hello Daniel, interesting scene of daily life for sure, good exposure and clarity of image as it should be. The composition is much to fussy for my liking though. Regards Steve.

Daniel, very interesting town. The church looks very well. Nice theme of the man walking at north it gave to the picture the best part.

Salut Daniel,
Ben t'es pas a Rotterdam, toi le trekker infatigable qui fait tous les meetings ?
Je sais pas trop dire pourquoi mais j'aime bien ton cadrage, ainsi que le pano du bus qui tombe, de plus la photo est lumineuse ce qui me plait toujours.
Bonne journee,
Jean-yves

Niemirow is one of my favourite places in Poland; i love the atmosphere of isolation, silence and provincial climate;
it's absolutely great - that your work is tryin' to popularize that forgotten part of Poland;
greetings!
