The Blue of Bohinj, a photo from Gorenjska, West

Photographer's Note

Sometimes words are superfluous, like in this case. In my earlier shot of Bohinj I have written about the lake and the myths associated with it.

"There are many myths as to the origin of this beautiful part of the world. This story I heard told when I was there:
The origins of Bohinj

God was giving land to people and as he finished he realized that he had forgotten about a small group of people, who were silent and didn't hustle like the others. Because of their modesty and patience he felt pity for them. That is why he decided to give them the most beautiful land of them all, which he had spared for himself. It's called Bohinj, because the Slovenes call God "Boh"

Bonsoir Klaudio
Une très belle luminosité qui met en valeur ce très joli paysage tranquille avec le bâteau qui meuble bien cette eau calme et bleue.
Merci pour le partage et bonne soirée.

Hi Klaudio,

I see you visited your home sites. marvelous view of Bohinj. It is not so popular with tourists as neighboring lake of Bled, but also beautiful and so quiet in your shot.No words needed for these blues.

Hi Kaudio,
Just a feeling of peacefulness at the sight of this beautiful serene scenery. The calm waters, the soothing blue of the lake and the sky, the lovely reflection of the surrounding nature make this scenery all the more enjoyable. The boat is a strong point of interest in this shot and seems to be inviting the viewer for a sail. I really like the way you composed this image.
Kind regards,
Christian

Hello Klaudio,
I really like Slovenia, I love to walk the streets of the capital city
This small country has many beautiful places, one of them is certainly the area of Lake Bohinj
nice presentation of a large lake surrounded by mountains...

Hi dear Klaudio,

You're capturing well this landscape by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see calm/clean lake and surrounding greenery with low mountain range. It feels as timeless world. And, a boat floating on the lake and the reflection projected to the lake an additional good atmosphere.
Have a nice weekend.

Kind regards,
mikio
