While gulls were flying over Zürich

Today in the afternoon a short photoshoot. The weather was gorgeous, the sky clear and the trees a definitive in their autumn clothing. While I took this shot a large flok of gulls just flew from the city to the lake.

Hope you enjoy the view.

PP-work: Cropped, adjusted contrast and brightness. Resized and sharpened. Add frame.

This looks like an old masters painting Hans! I love the sharpness here, even the details of the birds is super nice! I would love to visit here one day..where is the Matterhorn? A beautiful place, love the orange evening light!

Hiya Hansie

A stunning view here, really impressive detail and sharpness. Nice lighting and oclour tones. I think this view would also make a good oil painting.

TFS kind regards Smurfie

It is indeed a scene to enjoy a nice glass of wine over, Mr. GB. I am glad I took the time to stop by before calling it a night. Love the colour and the fine detail. Perfect positioning to make this composition so wonderful. Excellent.
Warmest Regards

Greetings Hans,better than a post card,I like your angle for this composition, gives us the viewer a good feel for this city.I like how you have captured the light.Though I would prefer sipping a wine overlooking this view,I would imagine that their coffee & desserts, would be just as inviting.

hi Hans

Honestly I could not see the gulls in the thumbnail, yet here they are on the page, so many numbers of them and making the sky over the city a lovely scene with such a good sunny day. Very pleasant view of the waterfront with boats and busy area from this POV.

tfs, bill

Hi Hans,
What a delicious light on the facades of the buildings along the lake! Good opened perspective beyond the bridge.
As others said, this would be an beautiful painting!
I like especially the flight of gulls in the magnificent blue sky giving us a great feeling of freedom. Very sharp and nice view! Bravo! Annie

This is a pleasant scene Hans - just like a postcard.
Nice lighting and colours - the sun seems to be low in the sky.
It looks like there is an open-air area for drinkies...
Cheers
Janice

Hallo Hans,

Een prachtige foto. Mooi licht, mooie compositie!
Zurich is mooi, ik was vorig jaar nog op die plek maar heb niet zo'n mooie foto kunnen maken.
Groetjes, Marga

Hi Hans,
Great formation of the gulls above and it seems they are like decorations. HAHAHAHAHA! I like your frame here. I am always fascinated with the sky. They are beautiful to me.

Hallo Hans.
Dat ziet er beter uit dan de Amsterdamse grachten, toch ?
Zurich, nooit echt geweest, ziet er prima uit.
No doubt, je vermaakt je eigen daar wel, haha
Is de shilling al betaalbaar nu wij euro's hebben ?
Awel de glazen bier zijn er dan ook groter dan in Holland.
Groeten en fijne tijd daar.
Jan

Hello Hans,

This view is very familiar for me, we often go in Zürich and walk here, enjoying the river sides. This image looks beautiful in warm light and having these seagulls on the sky, great colors and clarty. TFS
Best regards,

Hoi Hans,
"One flew over the Cuckoo's nest" .... tsja, daar moest ik even aan denken na het lezen van je note. Ligt aan mij hoor. :-)
Goeie plaat weer met mooi licht en mooie architectuur.
groeten,
Joop!

A beautiful light in this one Hans which in my opinion has made the colours look very natural. Well composed and with the smaller framework a lot more detail visible,

Hi Hans,
Lovely capture. Very crisp with wonderful colours.

Hoi Hans,
prachtige foto van deze mooie stad. heb je nog een wandeltochtje gemaakt door het park vlak bij het station. Dan is Zurich in een keer een stuk minder.
De meeuwen vullen de compositie erg mooi. Het leuke van dit soort foto's is dat er zoveel te zien is en toch is de foto niet te druk. Het late licht geeft alles een mooie warme tint en perfect belichting.
Groeten.
Niek

Heel mooi, rustig en moody stadsbeeld, Hans. Een goede compo laat stad, rivier en vooral ook die mooie blauwe lucht zien van hun beste kant, de meeuwen horen er gewoon bij. Als die eskadrille begint te bombarderen ben je beter niet in de buurt!
Toevallig is de foto nu naar boven gescrollt in m'n browser, tot net onder de meeuwen. Dat geeft een panoramisch zicht en da's ook best aardig. Moet je zelf 's proberen en zien wat je er zo van vindt...
