All you need to wash, a photo from Tunis, North

Photographer's Note

A pic that I took from the bus that took us from the center of Tunis to Carthage. I have seen many types of advertising on buildings in the world, but here they have rented an entire neighborhood. All that is needed to wash all kinds of things is advertised, I hope at least that the sponsorship will contribute to the maintenance of the buildings, which in any case do not seem to be in excellent condition.It seems that these buildings have been sponsored for a long time by this company, if you look at the map view you can see very well the same buildings with different advertisements of the same brand of detergents. Good wash to all!

TUTTO CIO' CHE OCCORRE PER LAVARE

Una fotografia che ho preso dall'autobus che ci ha portato dal centro di Tunisi a Cartagine. Ho visto molti tipi di pubblicità nel mondo, ma qui hanno affittato un intero quartiere. Tutti i tipi di cose sono pubblicizzati, spero che la sponsorizzazione contribuirà alla manutenzione degli edifici, che in ogni caso non sembrano essere in condizioni eccellenti.Sembra che questi edifici siano sponsorizzati da molto tempo da questa ditta, se guardate la map view si vedono benissimo gli stessi palazzi con pubblicita diverse della stessa marca di detersivi. Buon lavaggio a tutti!

Quite the ad campaign. The artist, if it is all painted, is very good. Perfect fits. You don't see this amount of ad effort much. Indeed it is all you need to wash !!

Hi Luciano
Amazing! That takes graffiti to a new commercial level. Looks like the building was a bit battered so maybe they accepted the advertising to cover up the grunge.
Well spotted and taken.
cheers

Bonsoir Luciano,

Une façon originale de faire de la publicité. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails des panneaux publicitaires. La lumière met en valeur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne soirée.

Hello Luciano,
Good capture! These are murals that bring money (I hope). 👍🏻

Ciao Luciano, I hate such big advertisements. Sometimes they cover the windows. here probably was just a wall. I can see that some inhabitants maybe use these detergents. They should have it free from Lilas.

Kind regards MAlgo

Greeting.
Interesting view, good text ...
Nice advertisements on the facade of the building.
Beautifully shown. There are more and more advertisements in every place.
I wish you a nice and successful day, all the best.

dragonslayero (3592) 2019-10-17 21:52

Excellently spotted Luciano, or rather excellently photographed as this some really large advertisements.
Bright colours in stark contrast to the slightly aged buildings.
I'm particularly impressed at the quality of the photo, despite being shot from the bus.
Thanks for sharing.

papagolf21 (152599) 2019-10-17 22:38

Bonjour, cher ami Luciano,
Voilà une composition originale présentant des murs d'immeuble "aveugles : sans ouverture" du moins, j'ose l'espérer !
Quant aux publicités, il est difficile de dire si cela est peint ou non.
En tout cas, une composition très originale.
Amitiés.
Philippe

jemaflor (135344) 2019-10-17 23:26

Salut Luciano,
Original et intéressant, voilà des pubs qui ne sont pas vraiment discrètes ! Cela donne une photo colorée et inhabituelle, bien cadré et bon rendu des teintes et de la luminosité.

Tue (82164) 2019-10-18 0:34

Hello Luciano,
Wow, those are really big and eye-catching advertisements, which really stand out. I would be surprised if anyone there still doesn't know this product. The contrast with the white apartment blocks is interesting.

holmertz (92782) 2019-10-18 0:35

Hello Luciano,
I would have preferred to see clever, original wall paintings rather than these giant advertisements, but these are also colourful and brighten the dull buildings. Seeing the map view the image of low standard buildings is underscored by the presence of the noisy highway just outside. It's a good and well timed snapshot from the bus, but I honestly doubt that the house owner will invest any of the money he gets in improving the quality of the apartments. The money is more likely to end up in his large villa by the sea.
Regards,
Gert

Witaj Luciano!
A very nice shot.
Chemicals advertising is impressive.
Good POV, composition and colors.
Well done.
Nice day.
Krzysztof

Hi Luciano
Very interesting photo. Very good idea. It is a beautiful mural .
Hugs

mkamionka (61130) 2019-10-18 1:29

Ciao Luciano,
indeed the famous theme "washing day in..." which we know from Italy was taken here to a very different level!
What can I say: the size matters!!
The ads certainly bring in a lot of color.
Very well seen and captured!!

GyurMaster (21317) 2019-10-18 1:34

Hello Luciano,

Though it is not a real tourist attraction, these sites often tell more on the everyday life of the people living in a certain country. Nicely observed.

Best Wishes,
Gy

ChrisJ (159954) 2019-10-18 1:51

Hi Luciano

The rectangular shapes of the buildings resemble rectangular cardboard boxes of washing detergent especially with the borders of daisy flowers and liquid gel bottles. Well seen and good sharpness and color contrast with the drab fg buildings. Tfs!.

jhm (202915) 2019-10-18 5:17

Ciao Luciano,

Maybe you becomes the new house man with this nice advertisement.
A wonderful panorama view with pleasant colours.
Sharpness and clarity are of high quality.
Excellent composition and presentation.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Hello Luciano,

what a great picture ! The blue and white advertisment on the block of flats and the blue sky ...... it looks great !

Best wishes Karsten

ikeharel (105867) 2019-10-18 6:15

The idea to decorate those old facades with an advertisement, gave nice colors to the mostly grey walls, Luciano.
A picture made with good eye looking upwards from street level.
I assume you used a polarizing filter, that's why we see darker corner up left, vignetting phenomenon.
Ciao,
Ike

Sergiom (117241) 2019-10-18 6:22

Ciao Luciano,

C'est incroyable de constater que des propriétaires de maisons aient accepté ces affiches criardes et surtout très laides. Le capitalisme dans ce qu'elle à de pire. Mais la photo est belle.

Amicalement

Serge

rychem (72179) 2019-10-18 7:41

Everywhere the same ads and everywhere the same products, I think these people are not happy, that their windows are covered with ads, very well captured
regards Ryszard

Gerrit (59968) 2019-10-18 8:14

Hello Luciano,
There is a lot of blue in this photo and the advertisor wanted to be sure that al his products would be very well known by the visitors and inhabitants of this neighbourhood. Fine photo.
Thanks and regards,
Gerrit

gervaso (28177) 2019-10-18 8:36

Hello, Luciano!

Too much advertisement on these buildings, but at least they have the same tones as the sky, which makes the view very interesting and attractive! In a cloudy day it must even give the idea of a better weather! Excellent light and sharpness to show that! Very nice job!

jean113 (21991) 2019-10-18 9:08

Hello Luciano, what a way to advertise your products! I have never seen anything quite like this before, one advert maybe, but a whole row!
It certainly makes for a unique picture.
Thanks for sharing, regards Jean.

dale54 (17456) 2019-10-18 10:06

good evening to you luciano...well done here my friend,sometimes the most unexpected is a great subject,like here! tfs dale

PaulVDV (54809) 2019-10-18 11:36

Hello Luciano,
This area will probably be called the 'Lilas district' of Tunis.
I've never seen anything like this before.
Very unusual. It actually shows the power of a large company to do what it wants in a whole neighbourhood.
A good photo to denounce the omnipotence of large companies.
Best regards, Paul

BennyV (32570) 2019-10-18 11:40

Hello Luciano

Well spotted & funny picture with the blue of the ads reflected in the blue of the sky. Or is it the other way around?

Benny

jmdias (102822) 2019-10-18 12:06

luciano

in fact is curious this advertising in series. I liked the funny visual effect caused by the repetition. crossing a town we ever find a small treasure for photos.

take care

jorge

Silvio1953 (205611) 2019-10-18 12:29

Ciao Luciano, pubblicità esagerata e foto piacevole e originale, bravo, buon weekend, ciao Silvio

bukitgolfb301 (53894) 2019-10-18 12:42

Hi Ciao dear Luciano

Hahaha so witty image for your second home country.
Ya in a sence such advertise way is impressive and effcetive to the public. Citizens there seem to have to buy Lias products.

All the best and have a good day! Takero

Miguel82 (47106) 2019-10-18 13:04

Luciano, the brand Lilas used these buildings facades to advertise soap and washing powder. The ads are pasted on the walls. It is original but not very aesthetic. Good city observation. Fine colors, good image quality and excellent light, regards.

alvaraalto (42234) 2019-10-19 2:19

Hello Luciano
A special way to disguise the ugliness of these apartment buildings.
It does bring some colour to the greyness of the architecture, but I prefer to see murals by independent creative young artists.
Excellent presentation
Have a good weekend, groet Rob

macjake (96157) 2019-10-20 1:50

Hi Luciano
all I can say is wow!
I have never seen adds like this before, so large and SO many of them, and to be on apartment buildings, people's homes!
this is incredible- in an ugly way. What a way to totally ruin a cities appeal, I can't believe they allow this! but for us as photographers, its awesome! cheers
Craig

Royaldevon (75330) 2019-10-20 7:45

Ciao Caro Luciano,

For me, this has taken advertising to a gross extreme. The products seem to have a greater importance than the homes where people live. It must feel like living inside a plastic bottle, to the inhabitants.
You have raised a very important aspect of modern life and have clearly shown how giant commercial enterprises dominate in intimate aspects of people's lives.
Can you imagine one of the occupants explaining that they live in the washing-up liquid building, next door to the laundry liquid building!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

COSTANTINO (104089) 2019-10-20 9:31

Hello dear Luciano
all these advertisements decorate the facades
of the buildings but me personally I would
prefer something more impressive as graffiti
it s a pity for me..
regards
Costantino

Hello Luciano,
Interesting view of these buildings, nice picture from Tunis.
Thank you for informative note.
Attractive picture with nice composition and good sharpness.
Fine presentation

Piotr

adramad (66964) 2019-10-24 11:22

Hi Luciano.
Magnificent and very different photo than usual, because these ads are not usual either, in fact they are the largest I have seen anywhere of all I know and are quite a lot.
A magnificent range of colors, in some tones, very attractive.
Good management of brightness and sharpness, which enhance the details.
Very well done. I love.
Have a great day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

carlo62 (81265) 2019-10-25 3:19

Ciao Luciano
non mi sembra che lo sponsor funzioni bene, i palazzi sembrano piuttosto in decadenza, però le pubblicità sono bellissime!!!
Saluti

burmaman (902) 2020-10-17 0:56

HI luciano!
I wonder why the houses have no windows facing you.Did they sell the space for these adds?.
Anyway,it is a good foto well seen and taken.
