Hello dear friends,

Today we have a big snowstorm with strong eastern winds and some 40 cms of snow ! This is beautiful with all my windows pricked with the small wadding balls! But not a time to go out to photography.

This is the best time to dig into my old files! Often, I find some good stuff and then, I have the same feeling like if I had found a 20$ forgotten in my pockets! :)
Today, surprise! I am transported to a magical site on the top of a mountain where I pick summer fruits like raspberries and blueberries. I adore this place! The air is so fresh and pure and the view on the vastness is endless

Technically, I converted the RAW photo in JPG. I just made a light crop, added contrast and a smart sharpen.

Thank you for stopping by and commenting.
Have a nice week!

Bonjour Annie mon amie
d'accord avec toi, mmmm pour des blueberries qui tachent, au naturelle ou en tarte.
Bon, la gourmande que je suis, silence ... Voyons plutôt ta photo. Vraiment je vois la nature et l'espace.
Tout y est, les verts différents, le ciel, le talent de l'artiste.
Mes félitations, Annie

Bonjour Annie,

Jolie paysage superbement exposé et d'une netteté impécable. Belle composition basée sur la règle des 1/3 donnant prédominance sur un ciel admirablement texturé et qui projette de bels ombrages sur les verts saturés de la campagne. Et finalement cet arbre vertical et dénudé, mais s'il n'est pas joli, vient casser la ligne d'horizon pour animer un peu le calme inspiré par les lignes horizontales. Un superbe paysage aux lumières très vivantes. Bravo.

Alain

Hi Annie

Incredible clarity and vivid colors in this open horizon. I like that you have rendered more sky space to emphasize those wonderful clouds.

Hi Annie, this location must be good for one's soul,just to breathe in the fresh air & view the beauty of it all, must be something special.I really like that tree & the gorgeous white cloudy sky,so much better than the grey skies here at the moment.

Bonjour Annie
Au premier regard j'ai eu l'impression de voir des prairies herbues doucement vallonnées jusqu'à l'horizon et ça faisait déjà 'grands espaces'. Mais non ce n'est pas de l'herbe, ce sont des sapins! du coup ça fait effectivement 'très grands espaces'. Les couleurs et la lumière sont magnifiques et j'aime beaucoup cet arbre solitaire qui émerge de la foret. Superbe
Amicalement
Antoine

Bonjour Annie.

J'aime beaucoup la composition avec les arbres en avant plan et la forêt (?) en arrière plan. Les couleurs sont absoluement superbes. Et le ciel ! Wow, tu l'as soudoyé ? Il est magnifique et j'adore les ombres de nuages sur la forêt au loin.

Amicalement

Hello Annie.
This is lovely picture. I really like this blue and green scenery. Fantastic clouds on the sky and great shadows on the green fields.

It's breathtaking photo, Annie! Rich colours, mellow lines of hills and fantastic clouds - all makes beautiful view. It's great composition, I like it so much!
Regards, Ewa

Hello Annie,

It is a pleasure to share this scene.
The lush green grass is an immediate 'eye-grabber, in the f/g and leads nicely to the gently rolling hills. I love how their relief is insinuated by the dappling shadows.The sky is an important feature and your pov gives the unusual impression that we are looking down on the clouds.
A lovely composition, full of restful beauty.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Boa noite Annie

Hello Annie
Superb landscape very well captured, with excelent sharpness, a wonderful light and excelent vivid colours. It smells yet to the incomming Spring. Wonderful photo with a great mood.

Very beautiful landscape. Good saturated colours. Nice soft light.

Hello Annie,
Beautiful nature image you have captured. Very well composed. The greenery, blue sky, white clouds and sun shine what a nice atmosphere. Well done. Cheers - Adil.

Absoluument d'accord avec le titre et ta note Annie , il s'agit bien de grands espaces ici , j'aime l'ombre des nuages se dessiner sur le vert de la fôret, le ciel est magnifique , un endroit ou il fait bon aller cueillir les fruits sauvages , hum comme je t'envie ! Fort bien composé , l'inclusion du petit arbre est appropiée, beau coin de pays et merci de le partager avec nous ,
Carol

What a beautiful summer scene - so clean and bright - such 'happy' colours. And so much better that sitting inside hiding from the snow and wind.
Great shot Annie

Beautiful landscape shot - I love the contrast between the sky and the land. Composition is simple but effective, with the tree giving a focal point but not overpowering the rest of the shot.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Annie,

magical scene indeed! the clarity is outstanding and the sight of the low white cloud is really intriguing while crossing that vast blue sky, looks like it's almost going to touch the green grass, magnificient contrast and light and a very fresh ambiance, adorable and very purely delighful composition..

greetings

Hi Annie,
Simple and beautiful compo, it gives a freedom feeling--the sky, the green field, the clouds shadows, the lonely tree...
Have a nice day !
