Vicolo Delle Erba

This is the town in Lombardia? The pattern of the street reminds me of trips to Italy. Sicilia and the Costa Amalfitana are special - though you can take a train to anywhere in Italy and get off the train and be very pleased. I visited Salerno briefly and thought it would be a great place to live with Amalfi and Positano and Capri so close. What is especially well done with this photo is the bright wall seen through the opening, and the perfect composition of the picture. And the lantern in just the right place. Time to steal that bicycle and take a ride. The black and white also reminds me of black and white movies from 1950's Italy. And maybe about a bicycle thief, too.

Thanks for your comment.
The city is Bolzano in "Alto Adige" (Sud Tirol). It 'an Italian city in an italian province where speaks Italian and German
because it was occupied at the end of WWI. Before the war was a city of the Austrian Empire
The architecture is very northern European, but in fact my picture is very reminiscent of certain city streets of southern Italy.
In Bolzano, the bicycle is the main means of transportation.

I like the composition with the street that leads the eyes deep in the image. I like also the range of grey tones. Beautiful image. Regards, Jean-Marc

You have really handled the exposure of this shot perfectly. A really well composed shot that says a great deal about the town. Congratulations on a very fine shot William
