The postman doesn’t knock anymore, he just delivers the mail in a box near the road!

Autumn mood is everywhere now, just in the beginning but soon we will have cold nights followed by red tint to nature…

Just for the record: The big green boxes ARE trash bins!! The mailboxes are hidden behind the postman's car!

The boxes look rather big! I thought they were trash bins at first. About the rest of the picture - two elegant trees standing together, but so different from each other. Plus warm autumn colours.

Hi Pablo,
Probably that my screen is not good enough at work, I did not notice the blue cast yesterday.
This one is superb with great warm colors of the sun and a perfect blue sky. the red truck adds a nice point of reference and contrast in the photo. Very well done.

Fabulous colors of Autumn have been captured here. This is amazing as the atmospheric temperatures does down, the leafs of trees becomes maroon, brown and yellow - perhaps this is an stamp of warmth - the summer has gone. This picture in view has the same reppresentation of tanning leafs. The red mail company van is interesting, may it has come to tell that winter is fast arriving....

Thanks for sharing a magnificient shot.

Hi Pablo,

And I thought those big green bins were mail boxes too! A lovely landscape photo capturing the signs of Autumn. The Polarizer brought out some very warms colours :)

Well done

There are a thing rare in this work Pablo, the sky is so focus... and the sharpeness contour trees have a problem with it... Well but i seeing you deleted other version perhaps you don.t seeing it clear. THE MAN IN BLUE: Super Pablo is the boss.

Hi Pablo,
As always the composition is excellent with good colors and details. We are a bit behind here with fall colors. Have a good w/e. Best regards. Danilo

very colourful image, Pablo, indeed, turning fast now, should be good, thanx, M, (*_*)

A very interesting photo Panlo, it has so nice colors, great light and the sky is wonderful.
Thanks a lot Pablo.

Hi Pablo,

I can't decide on whether you are a great photographer or the norway has a beutiful nature that is immposible to be shot in bad :) What do you think? I think both one is correct. Turning back this photo I really like it. Sharpness, contrast,compo are well done. TSF.

Hi Pablo!
A beautiful capture - the nature with its trees, sun and sky's makes it's best to distract us from the trash bins - nature doesn't need them because it doesn't produce trash. But that's how it goes with us people - we can make trash out of everything, so a realistic pic has to show them if it is made by a honest photographer...

Hi friend,
this is a wonderful shot. excellent details and such lovely colors! POV make up a wonderful composition!

Hi Pablo,
such a beautiful sky and the trees are pretty - but today's eyecatcher is realy the red car.
Postcars are red in Norway?
We have yellow ones. - And I'm glad they bring the post to my house. Thanks for this nice shot, bye

wie ich sehe ist der Herbst auch bei Euch eingezogen, das ist aber die Farbenfroheste Zeit die man schon auf Deinem Bild herrlich zu sehen bekommt, dazu das rote Post-Auto als klasse Kontrast, fantastisch. Die Briefkästen an der Strasse kenne ich auch.
Schöne Grüsse und eine schöne Woche

I wasn't sure about the car and the rubbish bins before I read your note and realised that it was the postman! I love seeing how simple things are done differently in different countries. Lovely setting here - it beats a picture of my letterbox on my front door!


Lovely autumn trees

successful autumn series from your portfolio. composition, vivid colours, using of light, sharpness, details and note are great. thanks for sharing
greetings
izler

Hi Pablo,
Glad you explained that the mailboxes are behind the car. I was already wondering what kind of mail gets delivered in Norway. What kind of lens did you use form this photo, it seems really wide?
Love the way the trees set against the wonderful sky. Great contrast and low POV.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Pablo,

Nice view of the autumn. I like your sense of humour :) lol. Love the colors and clouds. They are white and wide!! In india also, the mail vehicles are in Red. TFS.

hi Pablo.nice colors and great details.like it a lot! Great nature shots

Awesome

Autumn seems a little slower there than in the US and parts of Canada Pablo much as it is down here with colours not really showing until almost Winter. I think one of the first of your photos I commented on you received some negatives about trash bins :). Fine colour an POV and our vans are also red but not as flash as yours. TFS,

This is what happens in our country areas Pablo - mail delivered by a truck or car. Good colours here, nice and bright, TFS
Janice

Hello Dear Pablo, good moment from a postman's life in this very nice surrounding. With modern life, in the country, they deliver by truck instead of horse carriage :)

Here, your colours are perfect to me.

About your yesterday post, I didn't see it. It is so bad that the colours change that much from one screen to the other. Also, we must work with our colour profile from our camera, with photoshop. But then on the web, it's different most of the time because the web colour profile is sRGB iec61966. So there is automatically a clash right there.

Yan :)

ps: many thx for the crit on ""Window Reflections, Street Saint-Amable".

Lovely colours and textures once again. Your autumn colours are very gentle -- more delicate that our splashes of colour! TFS
Silke

Well seen Pablo. The splash of colour in the truck is a nice anchor point for the green tones and textures in the trees.

Well captured... must the tree be so skew?
great colors in this one Pablo!!!

Hello, Pablo :) :)

Wating for snow? However, its a very nice weather in your country. Nice composition against the deep blue sky. Great red car as a highlighting color.Well done, dear friend!

Pablo, I'm really longing for nature after seeing all your beautiful pictures! So this is how they deliver mail in your part of the world?
Just love the colors, the red truck, and the way the trees stand out from the sky. I know I said it before, but your images have this 'pop' that I truly love. Thanks for another inspiring image my friend! TFS, Sam :)

Effective use of the contrasting colours. The colours and composition are all fine here.
Achim

a very nice contrast between the nature ( sky and trees ) and the car ! the red colour is very nice because it contrasts all the other colours so well !

Hi there,

lovely natural scenic shot... my son is a big fan of postman pat lol...

thank you for you beatiful photos Pablominto

s.

The way the little red detail give the truck in all that green please me! With a topping of blue for the sky... that's good!

Well, Norwegian postmen must be quite happy... Working as a postman in Hungary I can only say we do not have, and will never have a car we're working with... About the photo: cannot be any better. :)

Superb colors, light and atmosphere. The blue sky, the red car and the sun-lighted trees gives me an unexplainable, but intense feeling of freedom and joy. I love that simple and charming scene.

TFS,
Andreea

Hi Pablo,

Hello Pablo
The rural anbiance is easily conceivable in this scenery, decorated of golden tones and pastel blue, at the view of shared trash bins.
Color of Post's truck acts as a zest in the vegetal environment.
Cheers.

Same in the USA. Human contact is a thing of the past. My old mail man would see me on the road give me my mail, know my family, if someone strange was hanging around, if people where gone for a vacation, he knew us. Now everyone could care less what goes on anywhere! I learn more each day about other places!

The vivid blue sky with its wispy clouds makes the perfect canvas for these lovely trees of marvelous varing shades of green. Excellent details and sharpness to this brilliantly lite sceen.
