Postcard from Switzerland

Home again! After five weeks in Zürich I had my final exams today and left this beautiful country. Five weeks Zürich and not one rainy day! Almost every day I walked during the lunch break from the Swiss Aviation Training Centre to the airport shopping centre for a quick lunch. These trees are along the walking path and when I arrived they were green and became more and more colorful every day. Took this picture last Tuesday October 7th while the sky was clear as crystal and the colours contrasting against the blue.

Well I think it is an appropriate postcard to say goodbye to Zürich and Switzerland.

Hope you enjoy this colorful autumn image as well!

PP-work: only a small crop and minor contrast adjustment (5%). Resized and sharpened.

Hi Hans,
Incredible, our post, in a few minutes interval, look like we were together to picture the nature !
I have to be honest, your framing is much better than mine, I have to be more careful with that. Bravo for your good work !
Ivan

These colors are just stunning!!! Most of our leaves are gone now, and we're going into a very depressing time of the year. It's a shame the fall colors don't last longer, it's such a beautiful time of year. Very nice lighting. TFS

Nice job here Hans. The detail in the leaves is stunning. The colours are well captured!

I think the frame is ugly!

Hehe ... but a beautiful shot.

Lovely colourful shot here Hansie..the orange autumn tones certainly look lovely against that wonderful blue sky...and how lucky were you with no rain in 5 weeks..that was a treat for you.

You will be certainly looking forward to more blue skies in the Pacific soon..lets keep our fingers crossed for you.

Kind regards

Dear Hans,
What a Beautiful Capture.
Stunning my friend.
very good
Thank You
Have a lovely day
Rosa

Hello Hansie :)

Wow ! Autumn is already installed in switzerland ! Not yet in Normandy :)
Wonderful golden tones, vivid, great light and contrasts on blue sky. It's a real pleasure for my eyes :)
Bisous my dear friend
Have a nice week-end
Marylou

hello Hans

At your age, you still take exams! Are you training to fly A380? What a way to spend 5 weeks of sunshine in Zurich. So, no big camera at lunch breaks to attract girls' attention for portraits? I think Roger/rminkow will not miss that :)

Very colorful yes and really stronger autumn colors than Romania or Poland in October day. I guess the change is slowly moving inland.

Great postcard, thanks.

tfs, bill

Ciao Hans, splendid postcard from Zrich, great autumnal view with fantastic warm colors, very well done, have a good week end, ciao Silvio

Hi Hans,
Great shot my friend, it must have been nice to watch the colours change as the days went by, you have captured the colours of autumn well here against the nice blue sky and the frame sets it off well.
Well done
Regards Andy

What a feast of red, yellow and gold, nicley interspersed with a bit of green, Hans. And against such a beautiful blue sky. I am glad you had a good time in Switzerland, and such gorgeous weather, too. - Cheers, Cordelia :))

Beautiful autumn colours!
Most stunning!

Hello Hans,
Yes - you have managed to catch the spirit of autumn!
Congratulations. Hope your efforts will be rewarded.

Bonjour Hans,
Superbe couleurs, la lumiere, les détails et le travail bien composé.
Bonne soirée

Good work with the minimal saturation Hans. Nice detail and the frame filled wth colour. I read Rew's comment, I think Helen did say a plain white edging that week :).
