"... it's such a lovely day..."
***********************************************
Indeed it was a lovely summer day.
This window is in Trösa, a small village about 100km south of Stockholm.
This village get so much alive over summer, with a lot of sailing boats in its harbour and happy people strolling around it's streets until the sun goes down. Nice small cafes are part of the scene, and a god home-made ice-cream is always welcome :)
*************************************************
I borrow the title and the first line from one of my favorite songs, called "Flowers in the Window" by Scottish band Travis. This song makes me happy whenever I hear it... Hope you feel the same ;)
Have a nice week everybody, Stef

There's bit of work here, since it was really hard light. I adjusted levels, contrast, colours and sharpened a bit.

Postcard form Sweden!!
Está bem bonito! Uma linda imagem para começar o meu dia, acho que estava mesmo a precisar de umas flores para me animar a manhã!
Excelentes cores Stef! É uma linda janela ;-)
Parabéns!

Ana

Very nice composition Stef. The colours of the flowers match in beautifully with the wall, and contrast well with the white of the window. Great shot.

Ha det så bra idag,
Hauke

Three weeks to go and then... heading north...

...or 'Window in the Flowers' :)
such a cute, lovely picture, the colours just make me happy to look at!
great job, Stef

Hi Stefania

The window is well placed in the frame, & the flowers add a riot of color. Well done!

What a joyful window, so neatly portrayed by your picture. It gives the feeling of a very happy home.
Well done

Such vibrant and sharp colours, Stef. My only suggestion would have been to crop a little tighter on the left & right edges to get rid of the grey.

The gerdener had a real "green thumb".
In french if we say "avoir le pouce vert" it's not that your thumb is green, it's a funny expression who mean you are good with plants to make them growing well.

It's rich, compact and wonderfull plant of rose I like who you manage a natural grea frame with the element of the composition!

Excellent image, lovely composition, vivid colors and very crisp.
Very well done Stef, bravo!!

And now a Travis-song:-))
This is Sweden in a lot of light, the months of light are there now and this is a happy view. Maybe crop a tiny in both sides, but I like the scene.

Olá Stef,

Esta está com sensibilidade feminina.Está linda e com belas cores,as flores e a janela formam um conjunto harmonioso.
Fica bem,
Fernando

Bela composição, a cor vermelha é classica, e o detalhe em branco da janela ficou soberba. A flores dando um toque suave e feminino dão todo o ar da graça.
Parabens pela fotografia, sua visão para os simples detalhes o tornam grandes feitos.
