Hello Gert,

As always, interesting notes to set the scene for your photograph.
The two ladies do attract attention by their engagement and we are all curious to know the content of their conversation!

Beyond the couple, the building excites interest.
It is built with very nicely dressed stones, a huge arched doorway and arched windows, suggesting a much grander occupation than at the present time. I would suggest that the doors have been replaced.

I cannot imagine what the building is used for.
The stacked, outside bags should be a clue!
Inside, it doesn't look like domestic occupation, perhaps evident from the first floor!
Oh, I do like mysteries!!

You have furnished the clues with an appreciated sharpness!

Have a great day,
Bev :-)

Dear Gert,

So, small talk is the new nothing special? :) I like your new series. On this photo you show a lot of details from the not so appealing surrounding. I guess how fresh the air could be above that pile of litter. Independently from the environment, the two women seems to be rather involved in their activity. The WS with the bus would go as a main upload as well.

Best Wishes
Gy.

Hello Gert,
The two women closely engaged in conversation make a lively focal point. The surroundings look somewhat run down but they do not lack interest for the photographer with their well rendered colours and textures. The washing hanging between the windows nicely rounds out the scene and is well included.

Hello Gert,

This see we very few people talk with each other, always with FB and twitter, she know not their neighbours today.
An excellent architecture picture.
The colours and composition make your picture very lovely.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John

Hi Gert
first off, I think that Hectic Bus Station could easily be a main post - especially if you used that as the title - love it.

speaking of earthquakes, its a well known fact that Vancouver sits on a MAJOR fault line on the west coast of North America, and we are well overdue for a major shake. Its a major concern, and a serious one indeed. It was on the news a couple days ago, and they're saying a quake of about 7.0 would cause approx 100 Billion dollars of damage to Vancouver, destroy most if not all of our bridges, tunnels, schools and even hospitals. it would be a devastating disaster. it would basically stop the city in its tracks. and like I said, we're several decades Past due. it's going to happen at some point.

Armenia, well, you can add this country to the list of places I know very little about. Unless you have family living here I think most Canadians know very little about this country as well. Maybe Europeans are more connected, and more likely to have family/relatives living here.

whatever this building is, it looks old and I like that.
its faded, its got drip stains all over it, yet its still functional in every way. interesting how the arched door leads to shelving, not really an entrance, this looks more like the back side of a store where they load and unload cargo. A place where its "Employees Only" sort of thing.

its a fine snapshot though, an interesting set of subjects. too bad we don't know what they're discussing. have a great day
Craig

Hello Gert,
I like the main entry for the interesting facade and the conversation captured between the two ladies. I am curious about the pile of sacks on the right, is it garbage?
I also like the center of city WS photo for the monument and the interesting buildings around what seems to be a circle. The bus station photo is dear to me because it depicts a make of bus unknown to me.
Regards,
MT

Hello Gert,
The old building is a wonderful background for the two ladies have a chat around the entrance. It adds a lot of fine details, which give a great impression of life around this place. The composition is perfect with the people included on the bottom left hand corner. Very well spotted and captured.

Hej Gert

Great shot, leaving lots of room for the environment in which the small talk takes place. A good theme, the kind of shot I 'd love to shoot on travels too.

Hello Gert,

Hello Gert,
I have not visited this city, only drove through by bus (lack of time).
My first impression of the main picture is that the garbage collection services were on strike. Furthermore, the large gate seems actually to grant access to a wardrobe or at least a warehouse.
The big stones of the building make me remember the Armenian churches. Possibly the building once had a different destination. The first floor is clearly a dwelling. Neither of the two ladies notes that there's a photographer although foreigners must be an unusual sight in Giumry.
The bus station in the WS certainly looks hectic.
Best regards, Paul

Hi, Gert.
Interesting image, from this remote place of Armenia, the house although poorly cared for, looks sturdy with stone blocks, women mark day by day, with that conversation between neighbors, the two WS photos do not indicate that this population Offer nothing quaint.
A good color, in these natural tones.
Also both the sharpness and the lighting are great.
Enjoy a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hello Gert,

A superb daily life scene from Armenia of the 2 neighborhood women chatting. I only got to peer across the border at Ani from the Turkish side. Relations between Armenia & Turkey are still very frosty almost a century after the massacres of the 1920's. It is even forbidden by law to mention the word 'genocide' in Turkey. And of course the border remains closed. Armenians avoiding flying through Istanbul and head through Moldova, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Romania instead when heading west to major cities in north west Europe.

Hej Gert,
Många intressanta detaljer i den här bilden, t.ex. variationen i stenarnas färg. Jag gissar att småpratet kan handla om vem som egentligen ska ta hand om alla avfallssäckarna...
Hälsningar
Gunnar

Hi Gert,

You have captured well the action between the two women. The point of view is showing the details of the facde of the shop. The light is giving good colours rendering. Have a nice day.
