Photographer's Note
‘Granada - School’s out’
All three photos were taken in the center of Granada (on Plaza de la Catedral and the nearby Avenida Guzmαn). On the main picture you see Granada’s cathedral. Originally it was built in 1583 but it has been destroyed several times. The cathedral as you see it now, was built in 1915.
The photos were given the title 'School's out', not as a tribute to Alice Cooper but that’s what they all have in common.
Since I could make most of my travels only in European school holiday periods the fact that when on a journey I saw children going to school (or back home) or others going to work, always gave me a special feeling, the feeling of seeing the real life.
Maybe a bit naughty of me … wanting to be free while you see others going to work or to school … :)

Hallo Paul,
De foto biedt een mooie mix van de prachtige architectuur op de achtergrond, waarvan de warme kleuren schitterend worden beschenen door het zachte zonlicht, en het dagelijks leven in de vorm van de schoolkinderen. Het is in Nicaragua zo te zien ook gebruikelijk een schooluniform te dragen.

Hello Paul, I hadn't seen this post when I uploaded my shot, so it is pure coincidence that we have both posted pictures with school parties out and about!
The children certainly enliven your picture giving interest to the foreground before we take in the cathedral and the surrounding buildings.
Having been a teacher myself Paul, I understand how you feel.
Best wishes Jean.

Ciao Paul
belle foto, con splendide architetture e scene di vita.
I bambini equipaggiati per la scuola fanno sempre un ottimo effetto nelle foto.
Saluti

Hi Paul
what do you prefer? this clean cut newly painted look or when the buildings look a little aged. I think you know what I prefer :) Here they look almost TOO perfect, but at least we know they're cared for and attended to, which is good. The WS photos compliment the main post really well. The atmosphere you captured is friendly, warm, peaceful, I like it. cheers

Bonjour, cher Paul,
Bel ιdifice religieux ayant connu des vicissitudes quant ΰ sa construction.
Vous avez raison, voir des enfants (en uniforme) aller et venir cela rappelle des souvenirs (j'avoue que je ne tiens pas ΰ revenir en arriθre durant ces pιriodes scolaires : pension).
Amitiιs.

Hello Paul, I usually travel out of season and very often I see the children going to school These pictures remind me the students in Cuba. I like when the children have school uniforms, it always looks very attractive. and sometimes these uniforms are really beautiful, like in India. Here just white with also white sockets, also very neat. splendid cathedral, rather low like in America, because of the earthquakes.
Kind regards MAlgo

Hello Paul,
I am glad I never had to put on a school uniform, but when I see them in distant poor countries I am quite happy to know that at least those kids are going to school instead of working. They usually look very clean and neat, like in these photos where the school kids create a nice atmosphere and the buildings in the background provide colours.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Paul,
SCHOOL - what is that! Oh, it's somewhere I used to work! You're right, there is something very satisfying (but naughty) about seeing others working, where you used to, whilst you have the freedom to come and go as you please!
I agree with you about your main post. This is a delightful shot revealing the splendid, tiled walkway, with some splendid details of the sunlit cathedral in the b/g, whilst the scene is perfectly animated by the strolling school children.
Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hello Paul,
Reckon this a big lot/plaza with exquisite architecture's design, Spanish style, painted in wondedrful beige and red. Daily-life scene combined, three girls seem to be very enthusiastic with some sights around left-side.
Have a nice new week,

Goedenavond Paul,
Us hoofd foto's is hier wel de allermooiste.
Nochtans uw twee extra foto's zijn wel een echte aanvulling
De gebouwen zijn ook heel verzorgd, maar het valt op dat de uniformen daar nog echt aanwezig zijn.
Heel mooi foto werk Paul, bedankt.
Groeten uit Oost-Vlaanderen,
John

Dag Paul,
Prachtige serie foto’s met de schoolkinderen in uniform bij het uitgaan van de school.
Opvallend dat bij al die gelijke kleding de rugtassen niet zijn voorgeschreven zodat er toch nog een beetje eigen van de eigen smaak van de kinderen kunnen zien.
Weer een mooie observatie van het dagelijks leven in Granada.
Groet Rob

Hi Paul
I like this bright cheery atmosphere created by the freshly painted buildings. It also shows that the town council is not siphoning off every last cent into its own pockets and is giving back some of the money received from local taxes and fees. The school children animate the scene. Tfs!

Bonsoir Paul.
Tu as bien capturι l'action des personnes ΰ la fin des classes. La prise de vue permet de voir les dιtails des immeubles et de la cathιdrale. La lumiθre met en valeur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne soirιe.

Hi Paul,
lucky for you it is not Western Europe: you would be accused of being a pervert since there are so many children in your photos :)
Great composition with splendid architecture, I like also the colorful flags, one of them I see being the Vatican flag. The children add so much life indeed.
Great reportage,
M

Hello Paul.
For what I can appreciate for your beautiful photos of Granada, I think it is the most beautiful city in Nicaragua, ideal for this set of buildings of schools and Cathedral, its color gives a lot of eye to the image.
Very good color that highlights the image.
Very well done. I like it.
Have a good start to the week.
Very best regards.
Luis.

nice daily life scenery with the shapes of the church in evidence. nice colors and beautiful general aspect. curious as brazilian students are very informal in terms of uniforms if compared with our neighbors, they use the same clothes of my times (1960's).
take care
jorge
