Yes, but it is a wonderful street scene and great bw image! l/f

Wie mich das an meine Kindheit erinnert, an die vielen Freunde die es in unserer Strasse gab, die Spiele und die Fantasy, die uns in unsere Wünsche führte, in Gärten die es nicht gab und in Märchenfiguren in die wir uns -ganz einfach- verwandeln konnten. - Wir sahen Wunder in den kleinsten Dingen. Heute brauchen die meisten eine Gebrauchsanweisung wenn sie schöne Dinge sehen und achtlos vorübergehen, Fotokunst, ein Gemälde oder ein besonderes Musikstück hören, weil sie keine Ahnung haben was da vor ihren Augen oder Ohren liegt. Die Menschen sind ärmer, weil sie glauben, dass das Glück das ist, was sie in der Werbung sehen. Ich wünschte es könnte für Kinder Ausflüge in die Vergangenheit geben, das würde ihnen guttun. Dein Werk zeigt genau die Lebendigkeit und Vielfalt, in dem man lange verweilen mag und noch oft zum schauen kommen wird. Es ist grossartig!!

I grew up very poor in the late 60s to 1980s in Texas USA. We were made fun of because of our old clothing and how we lived compared to the well to do kids. This photo brings back all those memories, but they weren't all sad memories, being poor I feel now, was actually a good thing for me..Those who were richer than us back then, are now so troubled and unhappy, yet we are not...So, I"m not saying it was all fun and games being poor, no, it was not fun at all, but, compared to now, to those who grew up rich, I think we were the rich ones!

Just Brilliant Michel, love your street photography! l/f

Each of your photos could be a scene from a film.....

I grew up like this.I wish all children would experience this- playing on the streets & making friends with real kids...such a remarkable piece Michel.

Interesting street scene captured Michel. Clothes on top is such a lovely addition to the composition!

Lovely street life scene Michael ! Great details on full - resolution preview .L/F

The story of life, excellent capture :) Liked

What an amazing scene to witness and to capture!

A perfect black&white: crisp, clear, clean .... watching the two little girls "chatting" with one another brings me a smile {or maybe ... they're having a "dialogue" about the rules of the game they're playing ... look at their stances ... ; or ....} ; I love these old narrow streets & the laundry swinging overhead ... this is Community, and the Spirit Of . A gem, Michel {another one}:))

Such an interesting scene! Well captured and full of life! L/T

Beautiful capture of street life, especially in black and white! l/f :)

Thanks a lot Hans !

Incredible work..full of life and energy!

Another of your fantastic shots... Brings me to my childhood, when we played in the street in summertime and many neighbors were sat at their houses' doors... Where was it taken? just for curiosity...

Fantastic shot, could stare into it for hours.....and goes without saying great title!

Michel, A fantastic capture of a glimpse of society...the people...their habitat....their way of life. Love the perspective! l/f
