This is one of my favorite images that I took when I was in Italy. This little cottage was right off the road near a vineyard that I visited. Hope you like the shot :)
I do like this cottage! I bet it isn't all that old...because the incomplete plaster exposing the bricks looks deliberate to me. Almost as if it is a fashion in the area. I would like to see the entire house, but this way is more intimate. I am guessing that the flower boxes reinforce the general shape of the house, and that there is little rain in the area (judging from the tiny roof over the side door). This is a good picture showing a way of country life. Thanks. It's on my desktop now.
I really love this shot. I enjoy pictures from all of the world showing us how people everywhere live. Your picture is rich with color and detail. And very enjoyable for the eye and soul alike.
This is a precious little place and you got a very nice photo of it...I would also love to see the whole place. I bet it's just lovely. Nice shot tho. Very nice. Verena
