Hi Treklens friends,

That's a photo shot with fresh snow in the cozy village Saas Grund (Valais - Switzerland).
The paths on the road are actually the cross-country ski trails (which run between Saas Grund and Saas Balen along the Saas River for about 6 km).

Interesting stuff is that even in this quite traditional and classic village the cross-country ski trails are prepared with a special machine (quite advanced for me). As well all people are cleaning the snow with help from machines therefore nobody is using anymore the snow shovel.

I wish you a nice weekend.

Hello Sorina.
Nice picture of this ski trail and the surroundings.
I like this well balanced composition with the little fence to the left as a diagonal, and the trail winding its way into the picture. The white balance and the other colors are also very good. Perhaps I`d like to see a person skiing in the FG?
Well done!
Regards, Jon

Hi Sorina,
A great winter panorama! Good lead in with the fence on th eleft. Fine brightness all together very well presented in the black frame. Compliments my dear.

Beautiful shot...
very nice composition...

Hi Sorina
I can't resist pictures like this. Snow, pine trees, fences, hills, winding paths, blue sky, fog - you've managed to fit all of them into an excellent composition.
Well done!
cheers
Stephen

Hello Sorina

This is a very nive pure winter picture, a very good composition .The "S" pattern of the ski tracks add movement to the whole scene. I love the snow covered trees and your sky is beautiful. A well balanced photo.
Serge

Hello Sorina,

This is a quite beautiful shot showing the crisp, white snow and the very Christmassy looking trees! The ski trail makes a very good natural lead-in towards the steep tree-lined slopes. The colours are fresh and wintery and the composition is excellent!

You have a most imposing gallery! I will enjoy visiting you again!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Many thanks for your warm comments on 'Pocket Rocket'.

Tare frumos !
Ai incercat si pe orizontala ?
Liniile din partea de jos (gardul si traseul de schi) au o geometrie faina.

Compozitie foarte reusita, o combinatie de "regula treimilor" si "forma S" (sorry for the bad translation, rule of thirds and s-shape).
Salutari,

Hello Sorina,

You have beautifully composed a wintery atmosphere in this frame. Flufy snow on the branches of the tree and the foot print of a vehicle on the road are intersting. A beautiful shot my friend, well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.

It sure looks a pure winter, Sorina.
Very well taken and presented here.

Hello Sorina,
A pretty winterland indeed!
I notice they have made great cross country tracks, very tempting to spend some time skiing there...
A well balanced composition, good texture in the snow and sharp fine details!

Ciao Sorina,
frumos peisaj din Elvetia. Incadrare si lumina buna cu o rama perfecta. Ati avut o iarna ca-n povesti. Aici la noi in Bonn...:(..n-am vazut pic de zapada iarna aceasta.

O seara faina,
Chris
