Where we used to stroll... Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hello friends
I`m sorry not to upload any photo. My beloved Dog Sirius died almost a month ago and I had no motivation to do anything, even to live. He was my trusty Friend. We hiked thousands kilometers together and spent over 14 years. He accompanied me to many photographic sessions, or star observations, so I show a place where we strolled in the last moments of His life.
I hope that in heaven is more nicely than here...

Eh smutny dzi¶ nastrój... jednak my¶lê, ¿e za Têczowym Mostem Syriusz osi±gn±³ pe³niê szczê¶cia i czeka tam na nas, na spotkanie kiedy¶, w przysz³o¶ci.
Na pewno towarzyszy mu Grafik, pewnie s³u¿y za przewodnika, bowiem zawita³ tam niespe³na miesi±c wcze¶niej...
A ja Ci ¿yczê mimo wszystko optymizmu i wielu mi³ych wspomnieñ - to co¶ - czego nikt nie mo¿e Ci odebraæ!
Trzymaj siê ciep³o!

Witaj Henryku,
niesamowite zdjecie, mistyczne...
Bardzo mi przykro z powodu Syriusza... wierz mi, ze znam doskonale to uczucie... Wazne jest to, co napisala Ela, nasi przyjaciele odchodza, ale na zawsze pozostaja wspomnienia i nostalgia, tego nikt Ci nie odbierze...
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,

Hi Henryk,
I'm sorry to hear about the death of your dog. This photo is a beautiful tribute to him.
The landscape is very nice and colourful and the clouds in the background look also great and rather special. Beautiful photo!
Regards,
Lars

riclopes (32821) 2008-02-04 11:02

I'm sorry to hear about such sad news, Henryk. I can imagine how much you must have been suffering, may be even more than a close human relative...This is a surreal image that gives a nice idea of heaven. At least those clouds don't seem from this planet and the colors make one dream. Thanks for sharing your pain. I hope you find your way in life soon,
ricardo

Witaj Heniu!
Ca³y sercem Ci wspó³czuje, pies to bardzo wierny przyjaciel. Czasem nie widzi ciê 5 min. i jak wracasz to siê cieszy jakby nie widzia³ ciê rok...Bêdzie dobrze!
Co do zdjêcia to rewelacja - jak zwykle!
Pozdrawiam!
S³awek

Edyta_B (1193) 2008-02-04 11:18

Witaj Henryku
Rozumiem ciê¿ar bólu, smutku i têsknoty, który w sobie nosisz po odej¶ciu wiernego Przyjaciela, a nawet Kogo¶ wiêcej... Powiem tylko: rozumiem i wierzê, ¿e Syriusz hasa sobie teraz po niebieskich ³±kach i nadal JEST...

To zdjêcie jest wspania³± pami±tk± po¶wiêcon± Jego osobie, nostalgicznym przywo³aniem mi³ych i radosnych chwil spêdzonych razem, podczas wspólnych wêdrówek, ale i nie tylko.
Piêkne s± te przewalaj±ce siê po niebie ba³wany chmur, zapowiadaj±ce burzê i deszcz; piêkne jest te¿ ¶wiat³o S³onka, które zaraz zas³oni pewnie deszczowa kurtyna. S³oñce "zniknie", choæ ca³y czas jest...
Wspania³y obraz piêknego miejsca.

Cieplutko pozdrawiam

Dear Henryk,
I'm so sorry for you. I'm sure your dear Friend will be always with you during your next excursions and will continue to give you inspiration.
I'm also sure you can find deep in you the courage to go ahead, to produce new marvelous photos and - more important - to make contact with people, to meet friends. I know that photographers can be solitary... too much sometimes. I wish you all the best, like the new flowers which will come during the next spring in the beautiful meadow on your photo.
Take care,
Catherine

chpp (3918) 2008-02-04 12:24

Hi dear Henryk,
Congratulations for this wonderfull capture.
Great pov and great compo. Perfect executions with all the positive elements of a great photography.
Back to Sirius; I can absolutely understand how and what you feel. But as a dog keeper, I know very well that you'll have soon a Sirius II; which most probably will not soon replace the first one, but this is the pure reality.
Take it easy

Hello Henryk,
You should be happy that your Best Friend did not suffer in His-Her age. It is sad to lose, but you have gained all the memories that will live on forever in you, and this should make you smile that you have had one another for so long a time.
A beautiful image of where you once strolled. Fantastic clouds and lighting, I love the tree on the right side with the white bark. It stands aout well beneath the stormy clouds as the rush up from below.
Very beautiful image and touching note...
Steve

DKarine (3852) 2008-02-04 23:05

It is never easy to let them leave and even less to continue without them! Especially when they accompany us for so many years courage...
A photo almost strong with these big clouds which seem to want to gobble up everything...

Hi henryk
very impressive contrast on this cloud. It give a very nice picture.
Well done

meltemi (9744) 2008-02-05 0:52

Hello Henryk,
reading your note really moved me, as I had a similar experience with a friend really similar to yours. I think that this image is a great tribute to your friend, it has a great atmosphere, and you have captured it nicely, the low-lying clouds seems a mountain and give a mystical effect. Your colors are saturated and details are rich as well.
Friendly
Stella

Vato_Law (11628) 2008-02-05 15:25

Hello Henryk,
So sad to read about your beloved dog, but it's life and I'm sure that if he was suffering this is maybe the 'best' thing.
I know it's hard to loose a member of our family, this is how I see animals that are so close to us, but it's life and its unfairness side.
I'm also sre you will keep on remembering him thru your photos around Slupsk.
Cheers,
Paulo

Nie wyobrażam sobie piękniejszego epitafium i bardziej wymownego.
Gdzieś jest miejsce, gdzie wszystkie psy sie udają - jakaś kraina wiecznych szczeków i biegania za kijem... :))) I moje też tam biegają...
Niesamowite zdjęcie i chmury niesamowite... Był taki film z Robinem Williamsem "Miedzy niebem a piekłem" czy jakoś tak... bardzo mi się przypomina.

Hello Henryk,

The photograph is a true masterpiece. A genuine tribute to your trusty friend of fourteen years, who lived a long lifetime—by dog years a full 100 years. My personal sympathies and affection, Henryk.

Bulent

daddo (11263) 2008-02-07 15:54

Zdravo Henryk. In this photo I can feel your sorrow. The turbulent sky with its dark clouds seems to cry and shout at the loss, yet the sun lit meadows tell of happy times, of games and laughter. A very emotive shot Henryk. Such is our fate, nothing stays the same. A beginning and an end to everything. Love and memories are what keeps us going. Pozdrav prijatelju. Klaudio.

so sorry to hear such sad news about your beloved Sirius.just looking to those photos with him,see there the best friend of you,a member of your family.know that empty space in your heart..in time the slashes will be cicatrize,but in time.

this place looks unreal with those dramatic clouds and certainly,have your signature with an interesting pp;)

I'm sad to hear about Sirius, from my own experience I know your feelings very well...
A lovely animal indeed, personally I'm a retriever man but my parents used to have German Shepherds...

tehanu_f (6874) 2008-02-08 3:12

I'm sorry to hear that. I've never had a pet, but I've always dreamed of having a dog. I know from my friends how terrrible it is to lose a pet. Mom has a bird and I remember how devastated she was when he accidentally flew away from an open window. They found it eventually, but until that time Mom felt as if she had lost a family member. This is a nice dedication to Sirius. A bit oversaturated, but dramatic. Congrats.

carper (63877) 2008-02-08 7:27

the photo is an inspiration...to go farther Henryk.
I know how hard life could be, when you lost some one who you loved so much. Someone who is there every moment on the day, your friend... and more. The only thing you can say now is, thank you for the good memories my friend and I will see you again, in a next life. good photo, good memorie.
thanks for sharing./... your friend.

jaywalker (12186) 2008-02-08 8:36

Hi Henryk, I am very sorry to hear about your dog Sirius, I sometimes look at our dogs & think what it will be like when they are gone, something I do not like to ponder over too lone. The photo is a very beautifully crafted shot, the sky is amazingly atmospheric, this could be a painting by Constable, excellent &, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

emka (21127) 2008-02-08 10:56

Witaj Henryku,

Wspaniałe zdjęcie. Tych chmur w trzech różnych kolorach nie mogę zrozumieć, jak powstały? Kłębią sie tak nisko, może to jakiś dym, bo taki czarny.
Przykro mi bardzo z powodu Twojej straty przyjaciela. Zastanawiałam się, czym spowodowana jest Twoja nieobecność. Nie miałam nigdy psa, więc nie wiem, co to znaczy chodzić z psem na spacery, ale jestem bardzo przywiązana do kotki, która też już jest dość wiekowa.
Syriusz - pięknie go nazwałeś, najjaśniejsza gwiazda w Wielkim psie, pies Oriona. Oczywisty wybór dla astronoma, jak Ty. Ale to gwiazda podwójna....

Życzę wszystkiego dobrego

Małgorzata

papagolf21 (55860) 2008-02-08 14:57

Memories can make you re-live beautiful moments. Syriusz and his love will always be with you. Thank you for sharing your feelings, Sriusz foto's and this one with us.

I also hope that there is some better place than down here...but time will heal things and you may find place in your heart for another love and give a good place to an animal to live with you...later...
Your picture is very beautiful and shines life out! Almost unreal, with the low clouds. Great light. A bit oversharpened in the grass for my personal taste.

What a beautiful tribute to a beloved friend; the detail is impeccable, the light magic. Syrius clearly spent his life in beautiful places. I remember you sent me a picture of your beautiful dog when I was first on TE.

salvator (18729) 2008-05-02 2:05

Hi Henryk,
The light and the colors, the sharpness are absolutely impressive. The clouds approaching at ground level, their colors and the partial light shining on the grass look superb.
Best regards. Salvator.
Ps. I am very sorry for your dog, I know what it means.

NMaverick (0) 2008-07-03 3:39

Dear friend, I am sorry to announce that I may be departing from TE very soon. The reason is that TE admins keep erasing my photos although here there are many similar ones, some without even a note! I keep on posting and they keep on rejecting without a "real" reason. when I ask for an explanation by e-mail, they keep ignoring me. Today as another act of threat they erased one of my first posts here. I posted on the forum requesting advise, they erased that post also. I cannot keep up with this rude behavior, I feel I am posting to my stupid pc since once rejected no one responds to my requests.
You be well and keep shooting!
Nick

vbbreizh (2622) 2008-10-29 4:18

Hi Henryk,
I'm sorry... The death of your companion is a very sad event.
I've lost mine few years ago and sometimes looking at my shadow when feeling alone, I still speak with him.
Sirius will always be there my friend, by your side, on your shadow...
Take care Henryk, regards,
