hello Paul,
simply beautiful view. This large area covered by white flowers with huge mountais in the background make your photo really atractive and eye-catching. Well done.
best regards

Hi Paul,

Although you have shot this image in August, there is certainly a spring feeling to it.

I really like your composition, where the curvy lines created by water flows present a strong perspective and add so much depth to your scene. Mountains on each sides come into play in order to close the frame and keep our eyes into the scene.

Awesome landscape with muted tones.

Congratulations for the first year on TE.

Salut Paul! Yes this looks more "springy" than summer and yet we believe you :))) Amazing to see so many white plants, really strange but totally beautiful of course, really impressive. A great choice for your little celebration here on TE, time flies, I guess also for you. Have a nice evening, Barbara.

hi Paul,

congrats for your first year on TE.
I am in my 3rd year here...and I am still curious (or probably addicted to) to know the world through images...

thanks for this pleasant and inviting postcard from Kanton Wallis

Bonsoir Paul,
Congratulations for this year and your presence.
You present us a great composition full delicatess around these three colors. I also like very much the opposition of the vertical plan dry and full of hard lines and the horizontal plan where the sweetness of lines gets involved in the flowers's carpet .
A beautiful and original composition.
Bravo!
Diane

bukitgolfb301 (4616) 2009-09-08 16:51

Hello Paul,
I should say, this is an unusual view which I like a lot! It differs greatly from other photos of Swiss mountains which I've seen. I like this POV, the dynamic composition and the very special colours! The cotton grass changes everything and makes the whole view look fantastic! My congratulations! :)
Best regards,
Elena

delpeoples (6054) 2009-09-09 2:02

Hi Paul, wow, what a way to celebrate your 1st year on TE. This photo is a winner. The winding water through the cotton grass lead the eye to those majestic and beautifully composed mountains i the BG. I love the incredible sharpness to this photo. Congratulations and thanks for sharing with us over the past year, Lisa

Hi Paul,cette photo est trés belle mais aussi très étrange car on a l'impression qu'il vient de neiger sur un décor d'été se qui donne une image irréelle mais superbe,ciao.MANU

Hi Paul,
gefeliciteerd met deze mooie foto en je mijlpaal,
Het wit van de sneeuw vormt een prachtig ensemble met de bloeiende bloemen.
groeten Gerrit

Longroute (9345) 2009-09-14 1:36

Really a special photo to celebrate your anniversary!
Those white flowers with the harsh mountains behind compose a unique picture full of charm. (Cotton in Switzeralnd?)
I really like the wilderness and wide space that the photo conveys and the fine perspective create by those converging creeks.

Best regards,
Donato

Bonjour Paul,
parterre très fleuri dan cette zone sans doute ssez marécageuse et où il faut s'aventurer avec précaution. Un ciequi effleure les sommets où la neige et la glace sont bien présentes.
Unephoto qui ne manque pas de profndeur, un air frai que l'on ressent. Le Valais est une de mes régions favorites.
Mes amitiés.
Daniel.

siolaw (25734) 2009-09-15 21:22

josepmarin (33785) 2009-09-17 1:16

Bonjour Paul,
bien que un peu tard, mes félicitations par ton premier anniversaire sur TE.
Ta célébration avec cette photo est parfaite. Le paysage des montagnes depuis ce pré alpin plein d'eau et avec le tapis blanc créé par ces petites fleurs, est réellement attractif à vue.
Et la composition est élégante, avec un cadrage très bien choisi.
Un travail excellent.
Amicalement,
Josep

sevy (13414) 2009-09-17 1:16

Bonjour Paul,

J arrive un peu tard pour te souhaiter tes 1 an sur TE.
Et tu nous offres pour l occasion une tres belle image de montagne qui me plait reellement beaucoup.
Le tapis de fleur avec tous ces points blancs fait un echo a l aspect des roches des montagnes en arriere plan. Ca donne une belle originalité a ce paysage.

Yves.

bernardec (2225) 2009-09-17 8:48

AKITA (5331) 2009-09-19 19:05

dear Paul,
a wonderful view shot of the splendid field and mountains.
"cotton grass" looks like summer snow covering all rich green valley,
and distant steep mountains show us very holly figures.
cool and so comfortable, it is excellent,
thank you,
Akihisa

congratulations on your first anniversary on TE!

Angshu (33641) 2009-09-24 22:39

Hello Paul
A beauty for your anniversary! Like how the cotton grass flowers meander and takes us to the cliffs enveloped by the low clouds. Everythings spot on in this fantastic landscape shot...I wonder how beautiful it would have looked with a blue sky! Congratulations on your first anniversary in TE. Great pictures you've shared with us & it's been a pleasure knowing you here.
Best Regards
Angshu

adores (15515) 2009-09-29 16:17

Hi Paul!
Good shot to commemorate! This carpet of white flowers in foreground make a fantastic composition, especially with those white mountains in background. Almost seems you have gathered two seasons in just one photo.

colinb (1536) 2009-10-02 18:12

Wow, this scene is straight out of a fairy tale. Love the composition with the wtaerways cutting through the fiels. And the white puffy flowers are just so incredibly scenic. Congrats!

luciola (1026) 2009-10-04 0:12

Hello Paul,
Delightful valley, simply unbelievable nature. Incredible POV.
Best regards
Lucja

ryno (4612) 2009-10-27 1:28

This is a lovely shot, Paul. I particularly like the light, there's a dramatic quality to it. An unusual and interesting scene from nature (more reminiscent, to me at least, of Scandinavia).
Regards
Ryno
