Hello dear friends,

I do a short stopover between two voyages. Next week, I will not be present with you. Autumn is a very busy time!

This is a sight of my village from the mountains. Many people built their country cottages in the slopes of them. Turning a forest road, we can to see Grande-Vallée with the church on its rock base.

Technically, I used lightly of shadows and highlights function for foreground. And, as usual, I adjusted levels and curves.

Thank you for your comments on my posts. I appreciate a lot your positive reaction on my Autumn serie. Have a nice week!

Bonjour chere Annie, comme c'est beau! Une vraie carte postale!
On dirait les couleurs d'hiver!
La route en avant-plan suit la meme courbe que le rivage au bas.

Bravo, Yan :)

ps: Merci pour les bons mots sur: "Mer Bleue, Ottawa Greenbelt" :)

Bravo Annie pour cette belle capture . Les arbres en avant plan dans l'ombre donne deux plans séparés à cette composition . Les quelques nuages bien placés ajoutent un bel équilibre à l'image .
Bonne vacances .

Bonsoir Annie, j'aime beaucoup la vue de l'endroit ou tu as prise ta photo.
Ton ciel avec son dégradé de bleu et les nuages qui dégagent beaucoup de douceur ne font qu'embellir la scène.
La netteté de ton image est impeccable, tu fais du beau travail avec ton 400D.
Bravo.
Salutations.
Pierre

The way you are under the cloud give a great mood... Make almost an obligation to focus away as you would like we do :)
And that road who see to go to the frontier between shadow and light... that's cool!

Atterrir si beau. Donc doux pour moi. I am a lover of Quebec. 5 decades ago I camped there many times. You have captured a part of it's beauty. Le Québec français que je salue !

Your autumn photos are fabulous. Well seen.
You show a slight halo effect around the foreground tree on the right. I like it. How do you get that.

Hello Annie, wonderful shot, very interesting work with shadows and light. If I were you at the moment when you took the picture I would be afraid of the high contrast between the shady and illuminate part of the scene. But you did it perfectly and the result is just simply beautiful.

Hi Annie,
as before, beautiful and rich colours, great tonal range and good composition :-)

Well done. Best regards, Daniel

Bonsoir ma très chère amie, Annie ;O)
on distingue à peine le chemin qui descend de la montagne à tes pieds, étant encore dans le côté endormi de la nature au premier plan, je dirais même un peu austère pour aller vers le soleil, les arbres aux tonalités de feu, et la ville, les pieds au bord de l'océan, un grand voyage, en une seule photographie, j'adore les deux nuages qui se sont posés sur la vallée.
Tu as été matinale pour avoir cette luminosité, courageuse.
Bisous, Corinne

Hello Annie,
Beautiful place and amazing capture! Nice framing, great lighting, splendid colors... Just perfect!
Best regards,
Izabela

YES THIS IS PERFECT
The trees at both sides work as natural frame.
Our eye brings use via the road directly to the clear spot.
A wonderful warm spot rich in colour and intensity
Beautiful moment of the day in autumn mood
The build of the photo is high class
Technical also perfect IMHO
You show us a beautiful autumn in Canada
Hope to see more.
Thank you Annie

Hi Annie, have a great voyage, thanks for this wonderful landscape with splendid colors and excellent light, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hope to see more posts soon, Annie, though I certainly know all about busy weeks. Very nice depth to this. You convey a sense of valley with more scale than I'd have imagined feasible. Nice autumn lighting and colors, too -- though those barren limbs and skies presage winter to come. New shooting challenges for another season, eh?

Best regards,
Jim

beautiful and romantik image...

Really a place to be.
Excellent contrast and beautiful presented.

Bonjour Annie
Quelle joli vallée ensoleillée! Très bon point de vue que cette bèche dans la végétation. Jolie progression visuelle qui nous conduit direcement dans l'aglomération blottie au creux de la vallée tout près de la mer nourrissière. Jolies couleurs d'automne, ciel contrasté et une mer qui nous renvoie le bleu du ciel. Bravo!

Serge

Superb scene, I like the perspective and the light-shadows play. The sea seen above those autumn trees...lovely !

../PL::: sory I run out of P.
Ps. You got your self a magnificent view from your village.

Allo Annie .

I am writing this in English for our colleagues.

Reading your note , I remember one clerk at a tourist center which we have met at La Pocatiêre in Sptember. She told visitors to stay on the main highway, just in case, they would encouter mechanical problem with their car.

Well I must say , I am completely the opposite when I travel. This is a good example why . Dare exploring small roads, back roads and remote localities. You will find gems and beautiful scenery. Specially when you rent a car, the chances of a mechanical problem are very limited. Furthermore today, a lot of the cars are equipped with GPS ! So explore !

The foreground is a bit dark , but I still love the composition , with the road bringing us down in the valley.
Well done !
Robert

Bonjour Annie
Une bouffée d'air frais de la Gaspésie subtilement encadrée par la dentelle des branches! L'art de présenter Grande-Vallée au monde entier, d'un angle élevé, en mettant en valeur sa proximité de la mer!
Du grand art!
