Photographer’s Note

A pic from my fathers homeplace, located in the North West of Norway, 30 km from AAlesund. It was a really nice day, the autumn colors make the nature here beautiful. On that day it did not rain!

A beautiful landscape, and very well captured, Jan. The colors are splendid on this one: the strong greens and reds in the foreground, the deep blue of the lake (?), and the tree-covered hills with the fluffy clouds and blue sky above. I think taking another picture further from the right, including some more of those red cottages by the shore, might offer another great view. Nice shot!

Nice landscape. Sharp, with beautiful automn colors. There are some similitudes with some landscapes of the Quebec Province. Well done Jan.

A nice multitude of colors. I like the simple composition made well-seen because of the distinct colors.

Wonderful landscape. I like the vivid colours of the grass and the water. The pic its exellent clear, you don't indicate the name of the camera. This scene its the right stimulus in this winter days.

Nydelig landskapsbilde med "smell" i fargene. Norsk sommer slik som vi som bor her vet den kan være! Treet i midten er såpass stort at det tar litt av oppmerksomheten bort fra resten av bildet, øynene stopper liksom opp ved treet istedenfor å utforske resten av landskapet. Kanskje det er mulig ved å endre utsiktspunkt å komponere bildet slik at treet kommer nærmere høyre billedkant? Uansett... flott bilde!

Flott bilde Jan, godt komponert, bra oppbygging med de grønne flatene, sjøen og fjellene bak. Vegetasjonen spesielt med treet passer flott inn.

Wonderful photo. My great grandfather Ole August Slyngstad also came from this farm in Stranda Norway too. He was youngest of 12 children and went to USA in 1870's and married Marit Johnson in Hudson WIsconsin. :) I believe we are cousins!
