California Dreaming Photo

Photographer’s Note

California Dreaming

all the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
on a winter's day

I'd be safe and warm
if I was in L.A
California Dreamin'
on such a winter's day

stopped into a church
I passed along the way
well, I got down on my knees
and I pretend to pray

you know the preacher likes the cold
he knows I'm gonna stay
California Dreamin'
on such a winter's day

all the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
on a winter's day

if I didn't tell her
I could leave today
California Dreamin'
on such a winter's day

Hi Tom,
Beautiful chapel and cemeteries, blue sky and green plants add color to this corner with all architectures in grey, naked branches add poetic flavour, what a desolated corner in autumn, good frame.

Hello Tom,
A fine composition of these old headstones and the Robinson mausoleum. The bare trees make an apt backdrop and are very evocative of the time of year. A poignant well worth seeing image.

Hello Tom,

a very impressive shot and a title and a note very well selected. details well colected. An excellent composition too very well ballanced in differents plans well delimited. POV and framing very efficience.
Have a good day,

Hi tom

The poetry and your photograph really are very harmonic. It is a bit melancholic, but also very natural life. We come and go, that we have to accept. It is a very philosophical shot with vibrant colors, bold composition and high sharpness. Well done

Best regards
Urs

Hi Tom
ce n'est pas courant de voir une photo d'un cimetière et avec ce ciel gris qui va de pair avec les pierres tombales

Hi Tom
At first I didn't get the connection until I read the words. It's been a while since I have heard this song.
Nicely done with a bit of colour from the Virginia Creeper on the mausoleum. Good use of the telephoto to condense all the headstones.

Hello Tom! Very good, I like the stone in the foreground, not sharp and yet perfect as a "leading in". The empty trees add something ... I don't know ... not really sad but a moment to think about life maybe which never hurts every once in a while. Great shot, okay, maybe not appropriate to say when it comes to this place :))) but the quality is top. Really good. Best regards, Barbara.

Hi Tom
Nice song of the mama's and Papa's
Good view on the graves
But I don't understand the relation subject with the song.
Best regards
