Besides liking to take street photos to edit in black and white, with fog, broken streets, people, animals and/or open scenes of what happens here in Montalbán on a daily basis, I also like to take, at least occasionally, this kind of simple, everyday, uncomplicated and usually colourful enough photos that I can keep them "in colour" like this... Well, today has been a strange day and I needed to relax more than usual, so I took my laptop to my mother's house and sat down at her dining room table to edit photos like the ones I described... Come with me and take a look at these street photos!....

Además de gustarme hacer fotos callejeras para editar en blanco y negro, con niebla, calles rotas, personas, animales y/o escenas abiertas de lo que ocurre aquí en Montalbán a diario, también me gusta hacer, cuando menos de vez en cuando, ese tipo de fotos simples, cotidianas, descomplicadas y por lo general lo suficientemente coloridas como para que pueda dejarlas así "en colores"... Y bien, hoy ha sido un día extraño y necesitaba distraerme más de lo acostumbrado, así que llevé mi laptop a la casa de mi madre y me senté en la mesa de su comedor a editar fotos como estas que les describí... ¡Vengan conmigo y miren estas fotos callejeras!...

I look at these photos and I'm realising that many of them are in fact more complex than I thought when I took them. So that's why I like to give titles to them... I don't know, actually here in my village I find it difficult to find something ‘totally simple and everyday’... Or maybe it's me who ‘complicates everything, even a simple photo’?... After all, I'm sitting at the dining table at my mother's house after my wife told me: Jesus, get out of here for a while, you woke up today being ‘kicked in the ass’!... Hahaha :)) I really love her!... We've been together for 36 years and we were high school mates before that... I'm kind of like her ‘Karma’! :))

Miro estas fotos y me estoy percatando de que muchas de ellas en realidad son más complejas de lo que pensé cuando las hice. Así que es debido a eso que me gusta colocar títulos para ellas... No sé, en realidad aquí en mi pueblo se me hace difícil encontrar algo "totalmente simple y cotidiano"... ¿O quizás soy yo quien "complico todo, incluso una fotos simple"?... Después de todo, estoy sentado en la mesa del comedor en casa de mi madre después de que mi esposa me dijese: Jesús, ¡sal un rato de aquí, hoy has despertado siendo "una patada en el trasero"!... Hahaha :)) ¡En verdad la amo!... Llevamos 36 años juntos y antes de eso eramos compañeros de secundaria... ¡Yo soy algo así como su "Karma"! :))

T05.jpg
📷 05- "Blue and white, the barbershop..." / "Azul y blanco, la barbería..."

T06.jpg
📷 06- "340 Mt2, village for sale..." / "340 Mt2, pueblo en venta..."

T07.jpg
📷 07- "Sparks, where Frank the welder..." / "Chispas, donde Frank el soldador..."

However, editing these photos, looking at them and sharing them is something that, for years now, has helped me to deal with my ‘cocktail’ of temperament variations and to stabilise myself. The same happens to me when I go outside to take pictures as when I spend hours editing and looking at my RAW files... There is a lot of ‘catalyst’ in having photography as a hobby, and I guess many of you already know that...

De la manera que sea, editar estas fotos, mirarlas y compartirlas es algo lo cual, desde hace años ya, me sirve para lidiar con mi "cóctel" de variaciones de temperamento y estabilizarme. Lo mismo me sucede cuando voy a la calle a hacer fotos que cuando me dedico a estar horas editando y mirando mis archivos RAW... Hay mucho de "catalizador" en esto de tener la fotografía como afición, y supongo que ya muchos de ustedes lo saben...

Mita's house seem like it has been recently painted isn't it?
I was wondering why they put the banana out in the sun like that it will make it spoilt a lot faster isn't it?
But always love to see you photos my friend.
!hiqvotes !VSC

Yes, Mita's house (a matron of our village who by the way died earlier this year aged 102) always looks freshly painted... That was her favourite thing to do!... ;)

I don't know why they leave the bananas unprotected from sunlight either!.... But one joker here said: ‘They want to sell them baked now!!!’ hahaha :))

Thanks for supporting and appreciating my work dear friend!!!
