[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken at Lake Hovsgol, in northern Mongolia, near where it borders eastern Siberia, in Russia. Russian trucks drive across the ice in midwinter, using the lake as a highway. Mongolia is much closer to its northern neighbour, than it is to China, to the south east. I liked the man on the vanishing point at right, the shimmering light on the water, (& the colour), & the pattern formed by the collapsed shoreline. The elongated 'S' shape, formed by the edge of the green 'plateau', also caught my eye. Scanned at 590 pixels by the Mongolian Film Lab, so image quality is not as high as I'd like. Probably why I never posted it before.

Ciao Chris

Hi Chris,

it doesn't matter if the quality of this image isn't as high as you would like, because the sense of tranquility, freedom and beauty of the landscape is more important in this case than the quality itself.

It is great image with wonderful POV and colours.

Have a nice weekend,

Stasa

Hello,

Le terrain a lâché, superbe détail, avec le bleu de la mer, le vert, grandiose image et vue.

Bravo et amitié

Nicou

Yeah, it's a little small, but the water is beautiful. Nice scenery, don't get too close to that edge Chris! Bright colors here!

Linda

yeah, really nice colors in this one. It looks like a desolate place. I agree, the man walking in the distance is a bonus here.

Hi Chris,

A beautiful place, good composition with good light and warm colors.
Best regards, Marga

Hello Chris! Wonderful landscape. Nice natural light and colours. Good shot. Good luck!

Hello Chris,

There is a lot to like about this shot!
The collapsed banking forms a welcoming curve guiding the eyes towards a fine point where the sea tucks sharply into the land and the blues and greens seem to merge!
The man does create a tiny focal image and sets the imagination working on a possible scenario.

Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)

Hi Chris,

The presence of the person has an effect of scale. The point of view takes our eyes toward the mountains in the background which is giving depth to the photo. The colors are enhanced by the quality of the light. Have a nice day.

Hi Chris, Good to see another lake scene from such a remote part of Mongolia. The greens and the blue tones are easy on the eyes and the image is well cropped. TFS. Murray.
PS Your Siberia trip photos are a very fine series.
