gosto bastante desta, tudo aparentemente tão "pristine", tão tradicional ainda: o espigueiro, a bicicleta, a roupa


um crop a cortar um pouco mais a estrada, mais chegado à bicicleta e uma frame cinematográfica preta e ficava ainda melhor... (na minha opinião, claro )

Parece um foto do ´70s, não é? Até a bota...
Concordo. Mas este é o formato 16:9, e com ele, para cortar estrada tinha de cortar mais, proporcionalmente. E sim, o print tem a frame preta

Tens razão.

Fui ver o print e acabei por ir espreitar a frame que antecede esta foto e gostei também, está engraçada a expressão do senhor.

I knew you would post a comment on this one, Mike.
I now live in a area that was the home of "Orbita"; "Sirla"; "Siera"; and other known brands, made to last. As people here were made to last too, imagine...
I´ll show you another one soon.

What is the building used for? To store grain? As for the work, I love it. The highwy lines work perfectly with the subject and title. Thanks! -Rick

Was used for drying the thick corn, as the wind passed by the side cracks, and at the same time obstructing it´s destruction, for example by rodents, due to it´s elevation. How the corn is gathered in Fall, this construction is one of the most aired thing possible to dry it in a averse season like the Winter.
Thank you for input.
