Typical dwelling, old Acre, a photo from Akko, Northern

Photographer's Note

Typical old town Acre, a semi-chaotic labyrinth built dwelling's.

Each era had its own architecture-design influence upon style and way of living, as can be seen on this picture of the three different buildings.

This place is on the foot of the inner side of the old walls facing the sea, as shown before, at 32.923, 35.0673 on the map.

Witaj Ike!
A very curious fragment of building, I like it.
Good POV, colors and composition.
The washing on the balcony adds flavor to this composition.
Well done.
Good morning.

Hello Ike,

This is an amazing, historical city, with so many secrets!
You have managed to show three different styles of buildings in this close-up. The one which features most noticeably, in the centre, looks as if it has reused stones from an older building to create this extension, whilst the one on the right looks to be on cantilevered supports. The one in the b/g uses a whole different type of support for the balcony.
They are all similar in their desire to decorate, which is pleasing to the eye.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Pozdrav.
Interesantan pogled i trenutak, dobar tekst ...
Lepa terasa sa zelenilom i vesom koji se susi na suncu, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom i uhvacenim trenutkom.
Dobar rad, lepa fotografija.
Lepa nova i stara kuca za stanovanje.
Zelim vam sve najbolje.

Hello Ike,
Maybe these three very different buildings standing side by side express different eras, or maybe they are just products of the original owners' very personal tastes and imaginations. The one in the middle is the most interesting, and although no longer in a perfect shape it once had a lot of work invested in the creation of the façade with all these wooden details and peculiar windows.
Very interesting.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Ike,

Effective tight framing with no wasted space and good sharpness. Although old and weathered the windows at left must have been attractive when they were new. An excellent daily life scene too with the washing hanging from the balcony at right. Tfs!

Hi Ike,

The hanging clothings is eye-catching. The point of view is showing the details of the dwelling. THe light is giving good colors rendering. Have a nice day.

Hello Ike,

I thought all the houses are build after 1945, but I can not see the year of build
Also nice scene image.
An excellent composition and nice presentation too.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Hello Ike,
A very nice close-up of these old houses, I really like the different styles here, which still go really well together. The daily life details are nice as well, just as the clear sidelight.

Hello Ike,
These houses were thus built against the old defensive walls.
They have used the same type of stone, supplemented with woodwork for balconies and windows.
It was washing day in the house on the right.
Best regards, Paul
