These are recent pictures, I think they are all from this same week... We have had sunny mornings, apparently the foggy days are happening less now, as we are in the dry season and that lowers the humidity level in the valley where the village is located. So this means that the streets are generously lit from the early hours of the day. So these pictures are full of contrast between light and shadow, which makes them more complex to take, but no less eloquent due that...

I love cats, I love to see my streets full of cats. Since a few years ago, the population of domestic cats has increased tremendously in our town. This is something I can confirm as soon as I look around and walk a bit in the streets. They appear everywhere, especially on the doorsteps of houses... I like the looks of the cats, they seem to be "thinking" things like: Why is this guy taking pictures of me?. :))

This week was all about fun, fresh and carefree street photography... They have helped me to relax while strolling through the streets, they have also helped me to see a bit more of the details that I sometimes overlook. Also (and as you can see) I had fun photographing cats (and some dogs whose photos I plan to share later) while I talk to them and they stare at me (as do the people around me, by the way).

Black & white versions
Yes, as always, here are the monochrome versions of these photos. Is impossible for me to avoid editing them this way also, I hope you like them too!

ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL NOTE: Photographs captured with my Nikon D7000 DSLR camera in RAW format, then processed in Adobe Camera RAW for adjustments regarding light, sharpening, contrast and depth... The shots are then exported to JGP format on which minor modifications such as straightening and adding watermarks were carried out using PhotoScape 3.6.3.
Thank you very much for your visit and appreciation!
