Little Venice Photo

Photographer’s Note

Colmar is is a real surprise if you get there without knowing too much about it. It´s one of the towns in the Alsace that belonged several times to either Germany or France, and it´s a great mixture of architectural styles - fortunately undestroyed by wars.

But what really set´s it apart from other towns of the area is the river Lauch, crossing the city in very pitoresque channels and earning it the nickname "Little Venice". A great place to visit if you´re around.

Hallo Johannes!
Das scheint ein wirklich sehenswerter Ort zu sein, was Dein Foto eindrucksvoll beweist. Der Bildaufbau mit dieser Diagonalen ist toll und durch die Spiegelungen wird es noch interessanter und faszinierender. Auch die Bildtiefe ist hervorragend. Ein einladendes Foto ...
Grüße aus Berlin!

An impressive bank of a river. Strong, deep sky.
Regards my dear friend.

Hello Johannes,
A fine view of Comlmar's river bank, berought in clear contrasting colour tones. Good point of view and composition. The calm water with its reflection and the almost absence of human activcity add to create an atmosphere of calmness.
Regards,
Paul

Hi Johannes,

I was there a few weeks ago and I loved it! I posted some shots on TE. Very nice image, excellent reflection.

Well done!

Hallo Johannes,
jajajajaja kommt mir irgendwie bekannt vor, nicht den meistfotografierten Teil hier, eher den über die Brücke, aber schöne Spiegelung.
Viele Grüsse JY

Hello Johannes,

Nice river shot - great mirror and excellent sky. I really like the old style architecture, too, this is a quaint looking place, very relaxed, quiet. It actually has a calming effect on me. Very nice.

Have a great Tuesday!
