'Dark Odd Balcony'
**What fascinated me to take this photograph was a notion of a single balcony on the entire back side of a building. I am not sure whether it was planned like this originally or it was built later on. It certainly appears to be added after the fact. It appears quite odd and probably has an interesting story of its own. However, I am speculating and have no idea if it is true or not. But, it keeps me amused to think of the possibilities, doesn't it? :)
Even though the composition is central, slanted camera angle adds quite a bit of dynamics and helps reinforce the element of oddness. The balcony appears as if a patch of darkness is growing from the middle of the image. The deep black successfully gathers all the attention and, willingly or not, draws the observer in into its depth. Usually, it is the bright colours that draw attention but here we witness a completely different approach. The complicated pattern of the handrail, opposed to non-linear surrounding, works heavily toward the same goal.
The stained texture of the yellow wall adds to the reality of the image. It is interesting to observe its gradual fade to white from the bottom up. The purple accent of the rainwater drain pipe is the only element coming from the cold part of the colour spectrum. It creates a strong counterpart to the yellow whole but doesn't match it in strength.
Enjoy! :)

These power standards, among others, to prevent balcony users have an accident. As a space, the balcony function continues to grow.
Balcony as an extension of space: because of its location directly attached to the side of the room upstairs, can be a solution to the expansion of space. For example to expand the bedroom upstairs place a balcony on the side of the room directly related to the outside space. Can be on the front, side, or rear depending on the location of the bedroom.
The balcony widened the view: located on the top floor, the balcony has a wider viewing window than the floor below. This makes the balcony as the perfect place to enjoy the scenery of the surroundings of the house.
Balcony as floor level: balcony can emphasize ground and top floor differences. The balcony also confirms the difference in building scale and facing direction.
Balcony as an element of inactivity: the balcony can make the wall area become "animate". With a balcony facade view can be more dynamic. The balcony adds a high value design: a useful balcony raises the design value of a building element and the organization of space. This makes the home design more valuable.
The balcony becomes an expression of taste: the balcony gives a design statement and expression of homeowner's taste.
Balconies reduce climate impact: balconies that protrude outside the walls leave space underneath. The function of the balcony became a shelter of space under it from the heat of the sun.
Balcony as a marker: prominent shape and color of the balcony can be used as a marker or differentiation of a house from another house.
Indeed, this balcony stands out against the background of the main building. This creates an unusual feeling. It seems that this balcony is "strange" in the background of everything else. Apparently this is a "manual" work of apartment tenants. People strongly wanted a balcony and they syroili. Although I do not think that they wanted their balcony to stand out. Nevertheless it looks beautiful and attracts attention.
On the general background of the photo, the balcony occupies a central place. All attention is focused on him. If you do not focus attention, it seems that this is a black spot that grows in the middle of the composition. I think that the key role is played by the color palette of various shades that surround the balcony.
It turned out an interesting and reasonable picture! Thank you!

I am pretty sure it has been added later.
It is clearly shown that the balcony is new and the house is too old.
I remember when I was a kid and we use to go to my aunt home, The home old but with a beautiful balcony and we use to stay on the balcony to see the tree which was right in front of the balcony. The tree was too old and has too many nests, It was really enjoyable to listen to the voices of different birds.
I really enjoy your photos every time. Your text is always full of meaning and with a certain, I think, on the best hand, describes your wonderful photos.
Truly you say, this balcony is very oddly designed. But I've always wondered at how indescribable architecture can be. To explain why this balcony is as it is, only the one who designed it. Only he can tell why he did it, but I think it's beautiful.
Thank you for sharing!
Wow is a great photograph! I loved it, it's really beautiful!
I've seen worse.
That's a great art sir, I appreciate your photography... thanks for sharing...
It really looks a unique one. Only a single balcony in the whole street. I liked your style of taking this picture with a twist.
beautiful post
whether the building owner is not worried about collapsing
photo taken so have a high art style, thanks for sharing and I keep following you, with photo Beautiful next, good post @velimir
Most of the hand rail designs in India are very similar to these. Old buildings, rustic look have always fascinated me and i love to see the pictures of the same. Thats an awesome click, my favourite picture of the day 😍
When old and dirty, rusty and eaten by time can be so inspiring..something about the death and decay..smell of moisture and mold..
Great art & click 👍
Keep it up sir

Excellent image, captured the colors as a classic, has an old look that place where you were almost like horror movie, either way good work
That is an awesome balcony. I love old balconies and the fire escapes. Chicago is a great place to capture some really cool photos of both.
