September Landscape

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 11 September 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

If you compare with the previous one you can notice the difference in light and colors. Both pictures have only slightly been processed (as most of my pictures)

Assignment: can you notice where West and East are on the picture?

Good shot, nice colors !
I'd say West is on the left hand side : that would be the direction of the sea, and the origin of the winds blowing from it (the reason why trees aren't perfectly upright).
That is, of course, if I spotted your hometown correctly on a map.

@Stan Pulsar: You gave the right answer, thank you for your friendly comment! I wanted to say it in my "description" but I found it a bit "lecturing" so I decided to ask the watcher, but afterwards I think that's even more "lecturing" because I made it an "assignment" as if the watchers were students (I'm a lecturer you see:)

Goede middag M. Erik, I was going to say the same as Stan but I would have one more reason, that is you have the sun at your back and it's fairly high in the sky, so it must be around midday.

PS.: I hope you got my messages about the big sky country, I'll be on a trip 'til Sept. 24, with only very sporadic access to the net, will try to catch up with your work asap; our granby.aminus site will be fully functional though!

This is a lovely shot...not too crowded and not too sparse

PPS: <Quant à des ciels (cieux?) les Pays Bas sont invincibles :-) !> Tu dis cela seulement parceque tu n'as jamais vu le ciel de la Saskatchewan, spécialement les couchers de soleil! Le slogan pour cette province est "Land of living skies", et c'est vrai!

@Wolfgang Prigge: Peut-être je suis un peux chauviniste, mais je croix que tu as raison. J'ai vu plus de tes photos maintenant, excuse-moi que j'ai essayé de te plaisanter un peu :).

C'est normal d'être un peu chauviniste.....
