Hola Crystal

The Romsdalhorn mountain shown here has my respect and also some sadness ..as once long ago two very young men..strangers. passed in opposite directions along the valley on their way to two different mountains...they talked briefly and one couldn't pursuade the other not to turn round and try an easier trek that summer evening....

one was me at 18yrs old ..and the other was lost on the Romsdalhorn ..

Ö Omg!! I can imagine how you felt about that...it is really sad, but I would also tell you that young man had a clear "sign", you were his "sign" to change his way and turn round, in the end, as we all do, he took his own decision towards his destiny. You were just a messenger, but he, himself had to take his final decision.

I have learned that life is full of "signs", we just have to pay attention and listen to them...but it is also true that in spite of the "signs", sometimes, we cannot escape from what is meant to be...

Dear C

Thank you for your moving words ..i feel the same about the signs you mention too..things that transcend boundaries and everyday life around us..

As always your dear friend

How did you do this? Some colour specific filter? It is an interesting photo, and an impressive landscape!

laughingmackerel, on June 6, said:

hei Snemann

nei, jeg brukte ingen filter på kamera.. dette er 'HDR og tone mapping' i mono.. litt moro å leke med bilder og mye lettere en den gammel- dags process i morkerom.. Se pa bilder av highton-ridley for andre eksempler...

Hilsen og takk for kommentar...
