There is at least one of these nature stages in, I would say every Latvian town and city. They come a live with folk dancing, or music, or theatre proformances each summer. This one is particularly beautiful in the middle of the forest. Most interesting is also that there is always an audience here as behind the back wall behind the seats pictured is quite a big Cemetary. With a large rock wall between. I realy do love this place.

Sunrays add some mystic to this nature stage of Valmiera. Great shot, Francis.
Actually, when I was a little girl this used to be my playground. When I was 15 or smth I came to those summer night-balls or discos there. I really have good memories about that place. And you brought them back! Thanx.

PS And that cemetery - I've always been afraid to go in there - have this feeling that it's the darkest and most mystic one in Valmiera.

Let me add my plaudits to this image too! it's simple, yet very effective and beautiful, the sunbeams coming through the trees add the spark that really brings this to life!

BUT are they amused? (the dead)....kidding! Wonderful stage, wonderful looking place..... I wish I had a place like that when I lived in USA.

What a beatiful place Francis. Very nice composition with the light coming down through the tree. Excellent work.

Very nice.Fantastic lighting.The note is useful.Wish I were there.Yod

Lovely lighting, clarity, and POV! I like how the sun streams through the leaves. Nice!

i love the sun streaming through the leaves! amazing play of shadows and light...it's like an enlightenment....thanks for such a great pic!

Very lovely, like the sun is the spotlight on the stage. Such a beautiful place to listen to music. I love the trees standing tall, and the sun shining through. Clear with nice colors. Well done.

So peaceful you could almost meditate.
Great picture!

Francis, this is a very nice capture.Plenty of atmosphere! The glare from the top of the picture takes the eye away from the best parts of the image so I thought I'd try a workshop. Hope you don't mind. :)

Precious photo, pretty place and beautiful lights. I like much, has much enchantment. Greetings

Impressive composition Francis, and the greens and browns of the trees are effective against the sun rays. Congratulations.

Bon travail! On voit la profondeur de l'image, malgré le contre-jour.
