Hallo, das ist unglaublich schön ! Und die Tiefe und die Farben und der Aufbau. Die Diagonale durch die Bäume ist auch super gelungen. Und somit kann ich gern die ersten beiden Clicks um 01:12 Uhr vergeben. Nochmals, die Blauabstufungen sind super.

Gruß,

Carsten

♫ Swissmay, on November 8, 2007, said:

Danke schön, Carsten! Die Beleuchtung am Abend war optimal und die Diagonale ergibt sich durch die Hügellandschaft. :)

Was meinst du mit den beiden ersten Clicks?

Gruss, May (um 02.01 Uhr) ;)

Ryan Calhoun, on November 8, 2007, said:

Wow, May. The light gives beautiful colors to the farm fields and houses. The other trees are so dark, it's like a light is shining to highlight only the valley. Greetings, Ryan

Beautiful landscape. And the photo is so crisp and sharp!

Congratulations, May, on an outstanding photo of a beautiful landscape. From the bright colours of the foreground, past the dark trees that sharpen the image, the eye goes back, and back, and back, layer by layer. Excellent!

Beautiful colours, May, and a very scenic place. The air is so clear, you can see every datail. Cheers, Inessa

♫ Swissmay, on November 9, 2007, said:

Ryan, Nicolas and Marilyn, thank you so much for visiting this valley in my neighbourhood and for your kind comments!

The light and the view were exceptional on this late afternoon! I enjoyed the scales of colours and the view. It was one of these moments of utter gratitude to be able to see the passing beauty of light and colours. That the picture transmits something of the feelings I had, seeing it in real, makes me happy.

Thank you all very much!

I was thinking about you living below the sea, when the stormwarmings came. On TV they showed the closing of the locks. A very impressing sight! Great Dutch engineering!

I hope, everything was fine!

Erwin, muchas gracias por la tua visita y tu palabras. Mi sitio, adondé vivo, es muy cerca, pero el tiempo no es siempre así. :) Un abrazo, amigo! May

Rich, Thank you very much for your lovely comments. The weather has changed by now. Two days ago we had the first snow, but hopefully we will still have some nice autumn days. In the mountains they got very heavy snowfalls.

Greetings, May

Gorgeous shot May! Spectacular! The colors are so vibrant, and the scope of the view so breathtaking! I may run out of adjectives to describe it; maybe I should come up with a new one: goldstarrific =)

Sehr schön in den Farben! Wurde der Apparat mit dem Kontrast der Farbtöne selber fertig oder hast Du da noch etwas nachgeholfen?

Thank you very much for your visit and the star, Brandon! I feel happy that you've chosen it to be among your favourites. :)

Greetings, May

Danke Polytropos! Es war spät am Abend und ich habe auf einen Mittelwert gehalten vor dem Abdrücken. Es war mir wichtig, die Berge einzufangen, ohne dass der Vordergrund im Dunkel versinkt. Sonst habe ich gar nichts weiter gemacht. Gruss, May

Wow May!! and we thought we had mountains in Virginia! This is just breathtaking. Wonderful capture of the beauty of Switzerland! Bruce

©polytropos, on November 13, 2007, said:

:-) @Yank. And this is just peanuts. The Hohgant in this picture is "only" 2'197 m.

The Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau are all around 4'000 m.

©polytropos, on November 13, 2007, said:

Swissmay Yes, of course I saw it already. I just took an opportunity to point to my pictures too ;-)

Then you have to make a difference between Richard (--> Colorado --> high mountains) and Bruce (--> Virginia --> low "mountains" --> humps) ;-)

♫ Swissmay, on November 13, 2007, said:

Thank you Bruce, in case you are bewildered, after the comment from Polytropos about which mountains are what, just a little explanation. The Hohgant is the chain on the right with barely any snow. On the left are the seven stallions, which are easily recognizable. The Alpine mountains with snow behind are just beside the ones Polytropos names, around 4000 m and little less, which btw. you know from many of my sights, you have commented before. So no peanuts and of what I have seen from your and Rich's mountains, they are very lovely as well. :))

I greatly appreciate your comments, Bruce! Greetings, May

Polytropos, if you take a careful look, maybe you can see the ridges of the high snow mountains behind the Hohgant and the 7 stallions. ;)) btw. your picture is very nice. Greetings, May

©polytropos, on November 13, 2007, said:

Swissmay Yes, of course I already did. I only took an opportunity to point to my pictures too. ;-)

Then you have to make a difference between Richard (--> Colorado --> high mountains) and Bruce (--> Virginia -->low mountains -> humps) ;-)

♫ Swissmay, on November 13, 2007, said:

Polytropos, I know that Rich shows mountains from Colorado. I just wanted to point to the fact, that it's useless to compare, because I think that every region and country has its own beauties and it's nothing we have done for, but has been given as a present of nature. Or maybe the gift is, that we are able to see the beauties.

It's of no importance, who has the highest, the most beautiful, the greatest whatever… I believe, that all beauties on our planet belong to the whole humanity. And I am happy to share, what I can offer with all who are interested in and enjoy all the lovely sites we are being offered as well by our panoramian friends.
