Hello dear friends,

Each year, like my mother and my grandmother did it, I keep the tradition: spring cleaning! Ouf! Great chore!

This year, when I wash my windows, my doors or my floors, I am constantly distracted by the view I have! So, I am going like a turtle! My camera is the substitute of my rag! It is my carapace and my excuse for my slowness! No guilt! The solution would be to put a blindfold on my eyes, but this is not the good way to make a good job, isn't it! :)

I offer you this proof! Take it as a postcard to wish you a very nice weekend! And, please, call me before passing by my home. I will hurry up to clean all what I would have forgotten!!

Annie, your view is so unbelievably beautiful!! I will definitely call before I come, but you don't have to clean before I arrive:)
I love the way the light is hitting the lower part of the village and in particular the white church and steeple. Just beautiful ... no more words:)

I have to look on the map to see exactly where this lovely spot is.

Allo Annie,

Tu tournes le fer dans la plaie (^_*). Merci pour l'invititation, mais cette fois je tiendrai promesse. À vous de venir LOL!

Malheureusement, nous nne pouvons vous offrir un panorama aussi spectaculaire.

Superbe lumière de fin de journée inondant ton village bien captée. Bravo!

Bonjour Annie,
C'est tellement mignon ta description...mais je te comprends de regarder attentivement par la fenêtre,
je ferais de même. Ce cliché me renverse, sous tous les angles...les paysages captés dans cette région me fascinent à chaque fois. Excellente lumière et détails. Super POV. De toute beauté.

Hello, Annie,
I can see how you so much prefer to take these beautiful photographs than spring clean. I have looked at your view of your village in the different seasons and each is just extraordinary. What a magnificent scene. Very beautiful light in this and I love the way it merges sea and sky in the distance. Beautifully composed and lovely detail, amazing depth. If I lived there I would have the dirtiest house in Canada. :))) My many thanks and warm regards,
Shelly

If I had a view like this I wouldn't want to do housework either. Actually, even with the view I have I don't want to do housework :) ha! I really like the lighting and colors and the composition is very nice. TFS

Hi Annie
You were just lucky to get the tip of this church not to break the horizon line so well done for that firstly. Great light and colours and the composition is sound. Well done
Jim

Hi Annie,

Bonjour Annie,

i don't blame you for being distracted by this view, it caught my attention from the thumbnail:) spectacular! beautiful blue color and the light is just fine covering the different sizes and shapes of the buildings, excellent frame with the tree on the right side.. this is really an outstanding presentation... was thinking "who needs to clean in this case, clarity is spot on"!

greetings
suzy

Hi Annie
Very nice shot with the same composition as your previous posts
This home cleaning at spring is a cerious tradition in my country, which we say it "Khaneh Tekani"...Good job
Regards, Alireza

Hello Annie!
Wonderful capture of this beautiful place,
well composed picture with fine colours light
and sky! original perspective and pov!
as always nicely framed and presented!
Compliments and TFS

Hi Annie
to see this spectacular view, changing with the seasons, on a regular basis, must be very destructing... and challenging, to capture it as perfectly as you do...
it's an awesome presentation.
thanks for sharing
tsilla

Wonderful work Annie, as always, this looks like a fairy tale place! I can see why you are so distracted! Can you walk along the shoreline? Or is it too rocky? The church always adds a bit of extra to the scene! I love it!

Hi Annie

A fantastic high vantage point overlooking the incredibly blue lake. Good sharpness & framing. The white steeple of the church makes a great focal point. Bon weekend!

Hi Annie...beautiful shot...great light and tones..nice work.

Roger

I'd certain rather revel in this view than undertake spring cleaning, Annie! You've taken us here before, of course, but I like the way you do it in changing light and seasons and backgrounds. So many shades of blue to offer contrast in those depths of sky and sea. And how wonderful that it is spring. Good perspective and lighting and, of course, that trademark frame that you've all but patented. I like it all.

Warm regards,
Jim

Bonsoir Annie,

Un autre splendid paysage de ton coin de pays. Bonne netteté, belle lumière bien exposée. Compostion classique et efficace. Comme toujours du beau travail. Compliments.

Hello Annie,

The 'Spring Cleaning' is a metaphorical way of brushing out winter and welcoming in Spring. We feel the old has ended and the new has begun.
Certainly your beautiful village appears to be wakening from its wintery mood. I like the composition which insinuates a vast horizon where the village is looking towards the sea, and a huge sky. There are no limits!
Mood is what a lot of photographers cannot always achieve! Well done!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Annie,
Beautiful scene, the village with its colorful houses and white tower of the church, the blue-green sea mixing with the sky at the horizon, the light, the tree on the FG. Well framed.

Hi Annie, really lovely shot. I love the rich color of the land against the deep blue of the water and sky. The white steeple is a nice focal point. Thanks, Dave

Bonjour Annie.
En regardant cette image je revois la même en hivers et je me dis décidément que tu habite une région exceptionnel. Je suis allez sur Google Hart voir exactement ou ce trouve cette belle région mais la définition de la carte n’est pas en haute résolution.
Encore une fois tu as parfaitement mis les volumes dans le cadre à disposition pour un bon équilibre de l’image.
Félicitation.
Urs

Beautiful composition here Annie, textbook perfect with very rich composition and detail.

As always, my personal taste is not for the text in the frame - it was big in the 1990s but I don't think it's so big now - but the subject itself is beautifully captured.

Rew

Hi Annie.

Again, perfect pov and so beautiful image. Grea pov and extraordinary, calming scene.

Have a nice day!
David

Hi Annie,
Meanwhile a well know place here on TL :-)
Excellent light, although I have the impression the white church is suffering from OE. Composition is spot on and so isthe presentation!
Well done my dear, chapeau!

Bonjour Annie,

Et bien, quand le démon du ménage te prends, tu dois être, une véritable tornade blanche dans ta maison!!!
Merci, d'avoir pris le temps de poser balais et chiffons pour nous offrir cette jolie vue que tu vois de chez toi!!!

Pour ce POV, parlons en quand même, une belle lumière et des couleurs rayonnantes, qu'il doit faire bon vivre dans un tel endroit!!!
Je crois avoir compris (l'anglais et moi cela fait deux) que tu te compares à une tortue et je t'excuse pour ta lenteur, on ne peux pas tout faire dans la vie!!!

Ciao Annie, splendid light on lovely village, beautiful composition with wonderful colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Annie,
How do you ever get anything done at all with a view like this. I think I might spend all my time just looking out the window at this amazing view. The composition here is very good and the lines of the shore draw me in. I love the vibrant blue color in the sky and ocean. This is one of my favorite shots. Very well done.

Kevin

hi Annie

A great view and what a house of views!

Even though the light is strong on the land side, the vague blue of the sea really tells me it is a world of its own and provides you with a superb backdrop for this scenery.

Hello Annie,
It is good to be distracted especially if you have a view like this. A superb vista, wonderful blue sky, the rules of composition are exercised at best. My best regards.

Hi Annie, A well composed image which has several good features. The rule of thirds works very well and the framing using the trees of the side balance the image nicely. TFS. Murray.
