6:36 p.m. arriving at the Pas de la Casa. The temperature was about 4C degrees when I stopped at the Pont d'Entvalira in 2408m to capture this image. As the ski arena was closed I could capture the pure snow.

I was a little bit surpiresed that Andorra welcomes the visitor with snow on the top of the mountain on the 29th April.

The picture is dedicated to josepmarin who send me many tips about the beautiful Andorra and I follow his proposal to go to Val d’Ordino the next day – it was a great tour and I have 134 new pictures in my private galery.

Hallo Achim,
Thank you very much for your dedication with this photo. I like how you have seized the opportunity to take this beautiful photo from the road, in the Port d'Envalira, with the skiing tracks of Pas de la Casa, a place that I know well.
You have balanced very well the difficult light that increases its intensity with the snow, and have obtained a good contrast and a great quality of image.
The geometry of the skilifts gives a good graphical effect.
Nice work, my friend, thanks.
Best regards,
Josep

Hallo Achim,
welch Verschwendung, da ist soviel Schnee und keiner drauf unterwegs. Gibt ein gutes Bild ohne Frage aber so leer?
Schöne Liftlinien und ein paar waren anhand der Spuren wohl doch noch unterwegs. Gutes Licht.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Achim,

nice view of the lifts on the snowed mountain. They fill the white space very well. Good exposure and clarity overall. Good job!
Regards,
Carlos

Hello Achim,
A nice snowed landscape, the light was difficult but it's well taken.

Bonsoir, mon ami Achim,
Très heureux de revoir vos photographies. C'est le premier endroit où j'ai vraiment découvert la neige "Au pas de la Casa" !
Merci, Achim, de me faire redécouvrir ce merveilleux endroit !
Amitiés.
Philippe

Achim, tu as donné de cette station une bien belle image. J'aime les courbes dessinées par les montagnes enneigées. Les surface sont traversées par les télésièges qui promènent le regard sur l'ensemble du cliché. Belle réalisation sous une belle lumière.

Hey Achim,

Quite an impressive ski park.

A very fine composition, you`ve captured everything in in proportions I think, with nice sharpness and natural colors. Nice work, as always.

See you around.

Hi Achium,
I thought of Josep's love for Andorra when opening this snowy photo. The other reason I opened it was that I collect photos of snow play. We've had a late winter here here as well.

Pretty hard to believe there were snow, like that, last week !!! That's what I appreciate here : that information. And it's fresh to have some snow when the temperature goes up. An useful post, then.
Stéphane

Hello Achim,
Many thanks for this wonderful sharing of a great place to be!
I loved the soft and gentle morning light falls on the snow mountain with good displayed of light and shadows
a pleasing image well done
cheers
Tony

Hi Achim,

The chair lift are giving different diagonal lines to the picture which is a good addition to the composition. The point of view leads our eyes to the summit of the mountain. The reflection of the light on the snow brings out the colors. Have a nice day.
