Come sail your ships Photo

Photographer’s Note

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around

We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around

An image of the main abandoned salt field.
Located 6 km south of Olbia and seprated from the sea just only by a sand beach wide 30 meters and long several kilometers.
The villa that we've rented in the past 2 years, and also the next one is located at 40 meters from that salt field.

Hi Paulo, the first thing I noticed about this from the thumb was the Cave lyric, a good hook to a fine landscape in beautiful light. Added to theme.

jinju (14265) 2006-09-26 3:48

Hi Paolo,

beautiful wide angle shot here my friend. It is a very peaceful photo, the calmness of the water, the wide peceful world. The lzy clouds in the sky. Nice work.

riclopes (32973) 2006-09-26 4:18

Olá Paolo, it seems like a marvellous place. It remind me a similar place where I was last year, in the coast of Turkey. The colors are stunning and the reflections on the water are beautiful. I love the curve of the shore in foreground. Magnificent capture of this landscape.
Ciao,
Ricardo

ciao paolo,
superb place and perfect tranquility, i think that this time some tech problems appeard with the compression of the file, or too much noise;
bravissimo for the composition,
j.

Hi Paolo.

A really lovely view. The blue of the sky is lovely.

Rgs, Oscar

ChrisJ (70165) 2006-09-26 5:04

Bonjourno Paulo

I like the lonely blue boat in the middle of the lake & its reflection. Good sharpness & lighting. Tfs!

pasternak (13272) 2006-09-26 6:23

Ciao Paolo, it is probably my favourite song of Nick Cave, although I am not sure how well its dramatism connects to this peaceful image. The picture itself is really lovely, the composition and the fact that the boat is of the same colour as the sky and its reflection work in its favour.

Cheers
Alexander

Henryk_Bilor (20365) 2006-09-26 6:26

Hi Paolo
Sweet illusion ;). Lovely composition and beautiful colours. The boat increases the value of the landscape. Did you put it there in purpose ;) ?
Regards

Bella, forse la barca rimane troppo piccola ma il paesaggio e i colori sono belli, complimenti.

Riciao!
se non erro, dovrebbe essere la stessa barchetta del 4centesimo. Ottima idea a postarla anche con l'ambiente circostante che sembra sereno e tranquillo. La luce é molto bella e i riflessi sono favolosi.
Complimenti e ciao!
Attila

pablominto (40578) 2006-09-26 8:02

Hello Paolo,
A minimalistic beauty!
Colours are working so well together here, the blue boat in combination with the brownish is smashing...
Good lighting and a wonderful sky, excellent late summer atomsphere!
Greetings,

Paolo, you captured a wonderful photo here, it has so nice colors and light with a very good perspective and frame. The region looks very beautiful.
Thanks a lot.

leo61 (43398) 2006-09-26 13:21

Hi Paolo!
I recognize the boat from your 400th post.
This one is wonderful too.Good composition with the nice curve of the shore in the foreground,the perfect placed boat,and the mountans in the background give a good depth.The warm light makes a nice atmosphere.
Regards,Leo

papagolf21 (56305) 2006-09-26 14:31

Bonsoir Paolo,
Image d'une grande beauté où la simplicité est d'une efficacité redoutable.
Une composition qui s'apparente à une peinture.
Du talent derrière l'objectif.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Paolo,
beautiful place, nice view and composition, pleasant colours and reflections. I like it. Good job.
Gr., Aleksander

Izobretenik (1264) 2006-09-27 3:55

Sometimes I wonder how you manage to find those lonely boats. That's always something I wonder when I look at landscape pictures of which the main subject is a lonely boat. Can you imagine such pictures with a lonely car parked in the middle on the road ? It's the same impression I get... :)

Four levels of things to see, five with the boat, and that's just a picture inviting to travel.

Hi Paulo
Nice idyllic scene and one with a placid relaxing atmosphere. The soft light is brilliant and the composition works well to emphasize the relaxed mood. Well done.

Ciao Paolo,
Benefitting from the nice sunlight of Sardegna this view is luminous and I like the resulting subtle reflections, the divide between the layers is good as it the boat angle and placement, nice composition.
Buona giornata,
Jean-Yves

ndb1958 (9248) 2006-09-27 13:35

Ciao Paolo, I love Nick Cave ... my favorite album is the Boatman's call.
About your image ... I like the solitude, the peaceful atmosphere, the reflection of the boat. A very nice image, Nino.

aloyho (6109) 2006-09-28 2:37

Hi Paolo,
The air of peace and calm filled this place and yet there is this sense of loneliness. This shot touches the soul and you have successfully captured the essence of the moment. I enjoyed the scene with all the lovely colours and the good clarity. Brilliant shot!! All the best.

teutza (10564) 2006-09-28 4:02

Hy Paolo,

good composition!

keribar (42748) 2006-10-01 2:50

I also agree Paolo, that this picture emanates a great feeling of peace and tranquillity , the location is probably such a place too, and I wish I were there with you taking pictures.
This is the second picture of Sardegna I see today.

Ciao and Happy Sunday - Izzet

cessy (13647) 2006-10-02 4:34

so tranquil and peaceful
very nice composition, Paolo
every element here is well placed

kebek (5434) 2006-10-03 5:27

Serwus Paolo !
Special coloursetting is Your trademark, my friend. Always surprising and outstanding. Here You show us some amazing pastels with browns, in remarkable and warm low light. This is a very clever composition, not so common, with included part of the beach.
Best wishes,
M.

bazal (7898) 2006-10-03 10:05

Hi Paolo.
I'm particularly happy to find this picture with the lyrics of Nick Cave's song. I think Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have never been as good as in the period going from the album "from her to eternity" to the "let love in" one, and the "Good Son" is right in this period. Have you heard the live version of the ship song which is on the "live seeds" album? It's absolutely great!
To come back to your picture, I really like the way you played with the light and the reflections on the water surface. The composituion is also very well balanced.
Thanks for sharing!

chrisnet (20374) 2006-10-06 8:54

Hello Paolo,
