Photographer’s Note

One of the last summer days in the middle of September. We were walking along Tumlehed Road in Torslanda, on our way to the sea.

Hello Gunnar ,
A simple picture , but a nice one . The framing is excellent , to present us this typical house . The effect of the contrast blue-red-green is always attractive .
Regards

Hej Gunnar,
Just a house, but a remarkable one, very attractive. There are lots of details that I like, such as the vine that climbs all over the corner, the peculiarly slanting roof, the single window, the "Swedish" traffic-sign, the unevenlys shaped rocks of the basement wall.
Verfy nice indeed.
Gert

Hello Gunnar,
It all seems so long ago now ;-) A good capture of this interesting barn with its unusual roof line and a mix of construction material. I like the shadows thrown by the telegraph wires and the colour contrasts. Very good colours and clarity.

Hi Gunnar. A quiet, contemplative theme. Everything seems as if time stood still for a moment. The photo pleases me very well. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hello Gunnar,

A fine sharp and clear picture. The strong diagonals of the white gable of the house separate the cloudless blue sky above from the red timbers below.

The dark green foliage introduces the complementary element. It's unusual to see a Swedish house with ivy growing around it, but this looks to be quite an old building.

The line of the roadside with its white markings, makes a good lead-in to the picture from the left hand side.

The gate, the post box, the old door and the roadside marker post in national colours, all introduce elements of interest along this line.

I see that you have added a thin white border to your image. Interestingly, this shows up well in the old [beta] TE, where all images have a thin black line around them. On the new TE site, however, where this black line no longer exists, the white border unfortunately disappears into the background.

Kind regards,

Peter.

Bonjour Gunnar
le rouge de cette maison est frappant dans cette belle luminosité si je me fis au mur de pierres cette maison a certainement vu passer beaucoup d'années et de gens car elle semble pas très jeune
Amitiés

Hello Gunnar,
With climate warming, Sweden will not have soon anything to envy the South of France:) This beautiful image lets imagine a beautiful day of the end of the summer, with a fantastic light and a little freshness. Framing is very pleasant, like the colors. Cheer.
Have a nice day
Cordially
Joël

Hej Gunnar,
It still looks like in the middle of summer. An attractive building with traditional colours of red and white, the basement built of natural stones, the old door and the interesting form of the roof. A nice detail is the pole with Swedish colours. :-)
Hälsningar,
Lasse

Hej Gunnar,

Even if it was taken in the middle of September it certainly looks like "svensk högsommmar" Excellent composition, perfect lighting and wonderful colours. TFS and have nice evening!

Hälsningar

Good evening Gunnar!
Here the colours and the clarity of the photo are stunning. A rather modest but in its simplicity somehow beautiful little house. What do you think about a weekend home here ...!?

Bonjour Gunnar,
je le dis souvent, quand le rouge, le vert et le bleu se partagent équiablement une surface, cela donne toujours de beaux résultats d'autant qu'ici, les couleurs sont très saturées tout en restant naturelles.
Une photo simple et séduisante à la fois.
Mes compliments
Daniel.

Hello Gunnar,

Interesting to see how the road sneaks around the corner of the barn!
This is a fine specimen in the right colours and in the right setting surrounded by green foliage...
A well composed presentation of this lovely rural scene!

Greetings,-
Pablo
