Photographer’s Note

Silence, calmness, harmony

Again in Hungary on a beautiful place. I was many times at this lake in my youth. I hope, you like this mood.

Diósjenő

This is the perfect place for a quiet, restful vacation thanks to an open-air swimming pool and an angling lake. Among the visual attractions is the row of 19th-century wine cellars, the bridges over the Jenői Stream that flows through the town, and the Secession-style Swabian Mansion built during the 1900's.

Before the Hungarian Settlement of the region Avar, Quadis, and later Slavic peoples inhabited the area. At one time, the hilltops surrounding Diósjenő had castles on them built in different periods e.g. Pagan Castle (Pogányvár), Czech Castle (Csehvár), Kámorvár.

According to Roman historians, it was right here at the Diósjenő lake that the legions of the 'philosopher' emperor Marcus Aurelius clashed with the barbarians threatening Pannonia.

The name of the town refers to an encampment of the Jenő tribe at the time of the Hungarian Settlement. Inhabited during the Middle Ages it became a flourishing market town. During the Turkish invasion it became depopulated, later to become repopulated once again. Residents of Diósjenő are proud of the fact that Ádám Mányoki, court painter to Ferenc Rákóczi II, often visited his father here, who was an erudite preacher.
How to get there:
By train take the Vác-Balassagyarmat or the Romhány-Diósjenő line. By car take Route 2 coming from Berkenye and passing through Nógrád. (Source: Vendégváró)

Hello,

Nice point of view through the vegetation and using the perspective effect of the vertical frame with the pier.
The woman is providing an 'human touch' making the reader of the photo feeling like this woman and so closing the loop with the title.

Yves.

Hi George,

A lake's calm waters, lush vegetation and a bank in the sun to enjoy the scenery and relax. Amazing scene, very well captured, great colors, splendid light and good sense of depth.

Have a nice day
Leonor

Bonjour Georg
Une superbe image profonde et bien cadrée avec ce ponton qui conduit notre regard jusqu'au fond de l'image et la présence du personnage qui donne de la vie à l'ensemble.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Your first one from Hungary for some time George and a good capture of what looks like a very picturesque spot and helped by the human dimension and the jetty. Great colour.

Hello George,
A very nice atmosphere to this attractive composition. I like the framing from the rushes on either side and the presence of the man as he walks towards the benches. Lovely light with natural and vibrant colours. Very good sharpness.

Ottima la gestione della luce.

Hi George

Superb use of the boardwalk pier, to provide diminishing linear perspective, & the person is well positioned near the vanishing point. Good color & sharpness. Tfs!
