mmmm ... one of those idyllic picturesque shots from the alps. i wonder if people over there realize how lucky they are to be living at a place like that.
I like your kind of unconventional almost sqarish frame for this photo.
thanks for a very informative note
ciao ... sarju

Hello George,
A picturesque village in beautiful surroundings!
Lovely setting with the lake and farmland, all framed by impressive mountains...

Hello Mr. Rumpler,
Missing this one is a pity for sure. How beautiful colors, how crisp sharpness!
The nature and the architecture look all awesome. A beautiful place to visit for sure. TFS,

Hi George, Another stunning view & I mean stunning, living in this area must be a wonderful experience, the light & colours are superb & again perfectly sharp, the mountains make a gorgeous backdrop, kind regards Wilson.

Hi George,

Great light and colors, in the fields the green color and these small appearances of yellow are fantastic. In addition, the compo is very good, and the mountains, a little bit blues, that's good, so they seems really far and high! Beautiful shot! Best regards,

Angel.

Bonjour George,
beaucoup de profondeur, et les montagnes se perdent un eu derrière ce voile créé par l'évaporation.
Par contre, les couleurs et les lumières du premier plan sont magnifiques.
Cadrae et POV extras.

Daniel.
