Gualtieri, today. · 11:23 AM

These pictures were taken with two different lenses (DA 18/55 AL WR, A 50mm 1.7), in Gualtieri, a little city just on the side of the Po river.

Any kind of opinion and critique is always very welcome!

Flávio, what are the many square "holes" in the building wall in photos 5 & 6?

To be honest, I'm not sure.

In the past was a tradition, for sure in the south of Italy, to leave some holes in the wall while building a new house, to give a den to the birds. I don't know if it is the same reason or not. This building is very old...

I like that tradition. I think the holes are explained.

Unfortunately with the new brick-less buildings they stopped to do so... It was nice, now everything is about the look.

A very nice set. I really like the first one although i might had gone closer woth a vertical shot. But anyway a great picture. Also no.3 is spot on.

Yes, I always use the landscape orientation, I don't feel very comfortable with the portrait... But I need to start to use it, sometimes it is the best choice!

As much as I love rainbows...the opening bw shots are fantastice...very dramatic....they make me want to shoot a film there.....

Phenomenal series! Number one is my favorite. There is something about city arches. They lead into other worlds.
