I made a detour on my way home today, driving a parallel road through a recreational area. This route made my trip twice as long but it was well worth it… This is a road I seldom go and the weather was just awesome with temperatures well over 20C!

There are several small lakes along the roadside, and the shores are dotted with weekend houses. Considering the place is only 40-50 minutes drive from city centre this is a very popular recreational area…

See workshop for additional image showing one of the small weekend houses located along the shore of the lake!

Hi, Pablo! You show us two photos of great value in one shiow. I like the mood of this photo and the reality of the workshop one. Very good job!
And good job from the weather to give you such warm temperatures. Your colds have moved to our southern parts and we have barely 15 at noon...

Hi Pablo,

Lovely, peaceful and well composed capture here. I feel the need for a yacht or speedboat coming on :)
Sometimes its amazing the pictures we can get if we go a different route or the long way around as you did here my friend.

Excellent shot!

Hello Pablo, the weather sure has taken a turn for the better here in Norway, I got back to my apartment this evening and it was like a sauna as it was quite cold when I left, so I left the heating on.

What a lovely image that you have up-loaded for us, I have also looked at your workshop portraying idyllic “hytte” life. I did not realise that flying a “vimpel” meant that someone was in residence. I thought the rules were a lot more relaxed for flying a “vimpel”… It has just struck me I do not know the word for “vimpel” in English!

Cheers Gazza

HI Pablo,

Such a lovely composition! Very "cool" image with the different blue colour tones.

Well seen & presented

Hi Pablo,
You are lucky to be living in such a beautiful area. The picture is great, almost a single tone with different shades of blue. Composition is great too, with a big sky.
Sunil

Hi Pablo,
The simple composition works well here. Alot of plain blue sky, but with the hazy distant backround it all seems to work well. Great depth to this image. It seems to go on forever.
Nice shot!

Hi Pablo,
Both photos show a beautiful piece of Norway. The blue color in this shot is just stunning. The view is beautiful and the little refelctions of the sun on the lake makes it a stunning photo.

Hi Pablo,
you have created wonderful panorama. It was a very good idea with this detour! :-) Please do it more often! Spring photo, but looks like mid summer one. Perhaps because high contrast told by reflections on the water and quite dark island and woods on the shore on the left, while the rest is quite bright. I like very much the blue overall tone of the photo. The one thing I'd change is the crop - I think that the sky here is in excess; even if it emphasizes the space effect. Well, but it's personal preference:-). The shot is still great! tfs

The dominence of blue hue in this picture makes its mood cool. Darker tone of water with reflection of clear blue sky at places, looks marvellous. An island with plantation in water is adding up life in this image.

Thanks for sharing an exciting view.

Hi Pablo when i was seeing some islands like this one you realy want to be in to look from far is no enough Beautiful scenery i feel how far you were from the island cheers Shimon

Beautiful and mysterious compo. It seems some kind of magical island. The Blue Island on the blue lake near the blue mountains. Great atmosphere.

TFS,

Andreea

That shot have the fun on it that we can guess the distance by the palest tone it take as the atmosphere bring effect! it's a nice play of blue!

Yummie, Pablo... what a terrific scenery. I like the darkish to light blue hues here. Very tranquil. Definitely one to print & frame & put on the wall. A beauty.
