cut-offs

like i said in another shot, i completely fell in love with the alleyways of the old city of Dubrovnik... that and the laundry hanging out of all the windows... i seem to have an absurd number of laundry shots... most of which are horrible... this one is slightly less awful than the rest...

i am ridiculously behind... and i have no idea when i will catch up because work, kids homework and kids sports have once again taken over my life...

[Paul]

What a great shot. I would love to tour these old areas.

[KWind]

Gorgeous scene! You and I would have fun exploring such cities. This type of view draws me right in!

[bkb in the city]

There is so much I love about this shot. Makes me want to come and do some exploring

[Vega]

[Teresa (pocketmouse)]

[Kerri Michaels]

[Lisa Villella]

Love this! Fav!

[Gina]

very cool shot. love it.

[Kerri]

Cool shot

[summerfield]

all those whites, so uniform in sizes the way they were hanged, then suddenly a pair of cut-off jeans! you wonder, were they in the same load? shudder!

[summerfield]

oh, and those tables and chairs at the bottom, so neatly arranged. i'm guessing there's a restaurant/bistro.

[Wendy]

Love this shot!!!!

[Call me Joe]

Clean and fresh shot:)

[Taffy]

There's an innocence about this that belies the city's history. I really like how you've captured the feeling of the city. We were there just before their war when it was still Yugoslavia and it was heartbreaking following the destruction. Your photos bring such a sense of normality to it all today.

Great capture of textures, daily living in the city...Fav

[Debs Stott]

I really like the narrow POV and the contrast of the white agains the walls. You have made the ordinary look interesting.

[Jani M]

This is another image which keeps me intrigued for a long time. The subtle pops of color all around the monochrome scene make me happy. The pegs, the peeking green plant and of course the orange chairs vs the blue jeans.

[Shepherdman's Wife]

This is a great shot. Can't keep looking at it. Fav

[Lisa]

WoW! I love all the textures and tones! Great capture! Fav!!

[Shanne]

this is brilliant - great capture

[Hazel]

Great shot!

[Frida]

considering how much laundry we do I am sure this is quite proportionate. I love this shot! everything about it. Need some tips on processign for it looks HDR-ed in the best way possible!

[Andrew S]

Nothing awful about this, Ms Northy :)

[Lindy]

I love this shot. Fav

[David]

Fabulous! If its only 'slightly less awful' than the rest of them then the rest of them must be good and well worth posting!

[Nancy Ivison]

cool!

[Penny Price]

Great laundry shot - yet another fav.

Did you know that after the Serbs damaged the city of Dubrovnik the first thing they repaired was the roofs which they did for photographic purposes?

[Joyce]

This is a really great shot. Fav

[Jocasta]

I love laundry shots - and this one is soooo great - FAV

[Nancy]

Such a great shot, love the pov here, so much character in this alleyway.

[8yearson]

I'm with you with the narrow streets and alleyways thing, I always linger by them when I have a camera with me. This looks like an image from a Dickens novel, great urban image.

[Newbank Lass]

Another fav from me. Love this kind of shot.

[Margaret Obey]

Fabulous shot

[Richard Sayer]

I like this image because it shows us a glimpse of the real Dubrovnik, when we normally only see its tourist face. Fav.

[☠northy]

@summerfield yep... there were restaurants and cafes tucked in all sorts of tiny corners... :)

@pennyp i can completely believe that... the roofs were stunning... i have many pictures although i'm just not that happy with them...

[☠northy]

@vignouse tx Richard... although i'm not sure there is anything particular about this sight... everyone hangs their laundry out the window... ;p

[Sheralee S]

I love allyway shots too. They draw you down to investigate.

[Gillian]

Fabulous! I love this type of shot. Great textures on the walls and great contrast with the white laundry.

[☠northy]

@frida hey Frida... definitely no HDR... i have to confess i'm no longer entirely certain what i did... all processing was done in lightroom... i think i did basic processing on the whole thing... with a bit of extra contrast... then for the laundry i upped exposure and clarity a bit... the building behind the laundry deep in the shot was weirdly flat, so i think i added some extra contrast there... but really, it was just a lot of playing around with the sliders...

[Anita Russell]

Lovely timeless shot

[Peter Dulis]

I love these kind of shots .... very European

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Love these little alleyways & the laundry makes it even more wonderful :)

[Amrita]

Love these alley shots!
