Cafe' de Laponia Photo

Photographer’s Note

Today 24 of march it was -44° c in Lappland sweden so one could do other things then smile, one example is to remember an other moment from Lappland. and I promise any one one thats been drinking coffee out of this spring water made in a copper pan like this will never forget that taste it beats any barista pro anywhere.

Your gallery is a beautiful revelation. its full of some of the most amazing works. The colours and textures in this one are superb and very well balanced as well

Hej Anders,
I hope the barista is not a family member so someone will be tempted to remove this fine picture. There's a great atmosphere created by the fire and the copper pan.
The temperature was only -3 when I arrived at Arlanda yesterday, but considering I had about +33 in Saigon the day before, my homecoming certainly didn't make me smile.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Hej Anders,

Like they say in Lappland when it´s -44 degrees: "It´s at least mosquito-free". I don´t see any mosquitos in your excellent photo, but maybe the smoke drives them away.

I like particularly like the sunlit green diagonal in your picture, and I know that coffee can taste wonderful in such a surrounding. I understand the Laps always add salt if they make coffee on mineral-free melting-water. Did you?

Hej Anders,
this is definitely how a morning out in the nature is supposed to start...with a cup of coffee. :-)
What a nice atmosphere you are showing us here in this picture.
The steam rising out of the copper pan fits pefectly into this idyllic setting.
The composition works very well...the dark greens in the background and the lighter ones in the front.
Thanks for sharing!
kind regards,
Laura

Hello Anders.
A very pleasing shot, with the summer light on the smoke, the smooth rocks and the man's sweater creating fine highlights, along with the naked flame of the campfire.
It evokes the outdoor life beautifully, and I like the contrast made by the shadow in the background, too.
I take your word for it about the coffee; I just hope it wasn't 'instant'.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Anders!

Beautiful and unusual daily life scene! Great framing and composition I like the fact that you chose to focus on the fire and the pot! Beautiful colours, too!

Hej Anders,

You never been so right in your analyze as you are now. Coffe cant taste better. The pan doesnt look like a tre leg pan as I am used to a Kaffepetter! Almost a Gällivarehäng aswell!

Hälsningar

Hello Anders,
Obviously a "kaffelars" but I don't recognize the design, hahaha!
You found a great campsite by the little stream, but I doubt you can catch your evening meal there...
A pleasant composition and a moody capture!
Greetings,
