So today’s topic is balconies. PR has presented us with this topic and has provided lovely shots to be inspired by. I have a few balcony shots myself, although I’m sure I’ve posted them before. My focus is mainly on nature photography, so I have fewer shots from cities. However, I must admit that balconies make for a nice photography topic. There’s something charming and delightful about capturing the unique character of different balconies, each telling its own story. Whether it’s the intricate designs of wrought-iron railings, the colorful array of potted plants, or the cozy nooks for outdoor seating, balconies offer a myriad of photo opportunities. The interplay of light and shadow on a balcony can create captivating compositions, while the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces adds depth and interest to the photographs. Overall, exploring the world of balconies through photography provides an exciting visual journey, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of these architectural features.

I love your photos, Ritva, especially the ones in America, they have such a unique charm.
These are all great, but that one in Amalfi is spectacular.
You’ve captured some beautiful balconies! I enjoyed the ones from Savannah and Charleston. The one from Amalfi is my favorite.
I really like the photo from Nice. The laundry, the potted plants, the shutters opened…such a slice of local life.
Beautiful balconies you’ve shared her, I especially love the Charleston shots!

How nice to see some balconies from MY neck of the woods Ritva! All of your choices are wonderful but of course I have a soft spot for Charleston and must choose those as my favorite.
We really enjoyed our visit to your neck of the woods, what a charming place
