Fantastic image. Possibly Corsica.

Wow what a shot...and a lost story

There's a book of negs, but this is the most interesting one. Like a film still

Amazing. Do you know what country that is?

gouldina.bsky.social•82 days ago

Italy a quick Google tells me. That was my guess tbh.

jonpountney1.bsky.social•82 days ago

No idea what county tbh- did you go by Marfisi?

gouldina.bsky.social•82 days ago

Yes.

jonpountney1.bsky.social•82 days ago

I guess the local costume tells tale too

gouldina.bsky.social•82 days ago

Yeah. Obviously Mediterranean but it doesn't look Spanish (to my eye) and (also to my eye) the people don't look Greek. And the name on the building is Italian.
So...

What an amazing photograph. Like a still from I am Cuba.

jonpountney1.bsky.social•82 days ago

Very much so!
