[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The North of Portugal looks quite diferent from the rest of the country - partially alpine regions, but at least hills, curved roads, forests, lakes - a real contrast to the mediterenean South. And at the time when I was there, also the weather was pretty unpleasant, rain, hailstorms, finally snow - in Portugal, in June...
But since I had snow in California in September many years ago I got used to bad weather during my holidays.

Hi Johannes,
so you do not like the pictures you post?
you need advices?
:)

why? it's not a bad one, even if you do not have sunshine on the fine landscape, maybe not according to the Portuguese standards, here a nice lake, a nice foreground field, some mountains...
regards

Wow Johannes,

how come people missed this amazing shot! I simply love the atmosphere and silver colouring all over the image. I cannot explain but it is hypnotical for me. Gray sky reflecting in still water makes all the difference in contrast to yellow dry vegetation. They both create a harmonic suite of marvelous ambient. It is fantastic! I wish I could give it more that 2 ppoints.

Kind regards,
Jeri
PS: thank you

Hello Johannes,

A superb view of this landscape with great prospect, composition well balanced and beautiful reflections in het lake's water.

Best regards of Belgium,

Roger

This looks like a great place. Got to save it to future reference. I like your composition here. And the reflection on that pond is a great bonus. It all seem so natural, so peaceful. I like it.
