The Wonders of Mallorca: A Valldemossa street scene

The Wonders of Mallorca:  A Valldemossa street scene
As in many hill towns and villages, the streets invariably do a switch-back turn allowing for a house such as the one seen here to show three sides at once. The soft warm light can be seen lighting up the bright clay coloured walls here but most of the inhabitants welcome the shade no doubt. The many thick wires, normally a distraction seems to blend into this street scene too, all giving an age to this capture. All in all, a place and spot to value.

Best seen full screen.

I think you are right about the wires Herb. If they are there I prefer not to try and clone them out....which would be difficult in this shot anyway. A lovely street shot from a great viewpoint. Cheers, Rosa.

Hi Rosa. As if anybody at all would clone wires out :) A necessary evil for us. I try to avoid them if I can all the same. Glad you liked this.

Best Wishes. Herb

I agree, the thick black wires crossing the street here (and also in a few of my Spanish village scenes) often add a graphc quality that might otherwise be lacking. Another lovely shot, Herb!

Ah Andy, as I said to Rosa, a necessary evil. It always seems to me that there are much more in your Spain than here. Great that you enjoyed this.

Keep safe. Herb

I really like corner perspective
We can see, at the same time, so many details and to choose the the way forward..but it is always a place of indecision
Splendid , Herb!

Yes Judite, I was there for a while trying to decide whether to go up or down. I have a vision from you of people stuck here for years taking a few steps left then right!

A nicely composed and very detailed street image Herb. I like the weathered stonework and the ornate balconies and the lovely flower display in the foreground. I even like the questionable wiring.

I'm guessing this is a tourist area from the amount of directional signs on the side of the house. I can see why as it's a very attractive place.

These old streets and village centres are always fascinating Keith. Real life is shown here including the supporting infrastructure. Yes, a lot of tourist come here, for its history and ambiance. I think the tourist boards was trying to ramp that up even more. Glad you liked it.
