La Seugne Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The first in a short series of photographs taken close to the village where I live whilst walking the dog on a warm and sunny afternoon in late October.

The Seugne is an 82.4 kilometre (51.2 miles) long river in the Charente-Maritime département, in western France, a left tributary of the Charente. Its source is in the commune of Montlieu-la-Garde. It flows generally north-northwest.

North from Colombiers, the Seugne splits into several branches, the main one flowing into the Charente close to Courcoury, and the others 3, 4, 6 and 7 kilometres downstream at Courcoury and Les Gonds.

Hi Stephen,

Amazing landscape at the edges of the river. The dog should be happy to freely run in this place. Great natural colors, very good light, beatiful reflections.

Have a nice day
Leonor

Good morning Stephen!
Here you show us a really beautiful place. I like this wonderful calm atmosphere. Your point of view couldn't be better in order to present this landscape. These branches in foreground nearly give the impression of standing there to the viewer. Well, these golden days are over ...
Greetings from a cold, grey and rainy Westphalia! Brrr!

Salut Stephen, what a wonderful place to walk the puppy. It's idyllic and must completely calm the senses. The natural frame of the tree is lovely as is the reflection. It's de-stressing me already :) TFS, Lisa

Salut Stephen,
Endroit bien paisible et charmant où tu dois prendre plaisir à te promener. Le shot à travers les branches nues sur ce méandre de la rivière est bien vu. Il apporte de jolis reflets et brillance à l'image.
Excellente semaine mon Ami
Pierre

Bonjour Stephen,
La Seugne est une rivière typique des pays plats du Poitou-Charentes, et coule doucement au ras des prés. Une campagne que j'aime, simple et agréable. Très bonne composition. Bravo.
Bonne journée
Amicalement
Joël

Bonsoir Stephen

Superb blue skylight reflections in the tranquil water, with good sharpness & light contrasts. The fg trees bookending the shot provide depth, framing, layering & graphism. Tfs!

Hi Stephen,
This looks indeed like a very pleasant place to live, green meadows and a very small river (what we would call an "å" in Sweden). Maybe you can be angling here and contemplate life...
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hi Stephen,
Lovely autumn seen with the beautiful colors reflecting in this lazy stream.
The blue sky makes a nice contrast with the green banks of the narrow river.

Hello Stephen,

Une vue très bucolique pleine de calme et de sérénité. J'aime ces couleurs tendres très bien rendues et ces somptueux reflets dans la rivière. Les branches, à l'avant-plan, créent un bel effet graphique et donnent de la profondeur à l'iamge.
Amicalement,
Roger

Hello Stephen,
A beautiful spot. It reminds me of the Leie valley between Gent and Deinze. The Leie is navigable and this river is not so deep because i can see the bottom. Excellent composition with beautiful natural colors.
Regards
John
