Neighbours

Very engaging scene, Ivar. Some slightly odd compression of the vertical though. Maybe a tiny stretch in Photoshop would help?

It conjures memories of tenement life in Glasgow: At ground floor level a clutch of mammies or grannies gossiping around a window sill while a riot of scruffy children entertain themselves in various high energy and daredevil ways. Higher up, perhaps 3rd or even 4th floor, a mammy hangs out her window preparing to toss a sandwich, carefully wrapped in newspaper, to her starving offspring waiting below. I wish I had had a camera in those days,...I was a bit young, though.

Close spaced flats, I so remember this. Growing up in such a small community, just like the one depicted in the photograph brings back fond memories. Neighbours were all there one for each other, everyone knew each other's business and such. Perhaps a bit annoying at times, but nonetheless a great way of socializing and learn about people.

Really great shot !!

Thank you Julian. I am glad it gives people good thoughts and it was the charm of the situation that made me take it.

Those wood shutters...I mainly seen these in south of Italy and France - Provençal. Is this taken in one of these places? Based on the conviviality of the scene, I would say south of Italy. Am I close?

Unfortunately not. It is in Lombardia and close to Switzerland really.
