84- Lake Hut Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a typical view of the Swedish countryside. Lakes are so numerous and people have lake huts built on the shores, where they can come and spend some time at the weekend, or where they keep their boat.
However, nowadays, the building laws are more restrictive too, and people owning land by a lake find it difficult to get planning permission.
The brownish red colour is also typical of buildings in the countryside: It's not a paint; it's a tint made with copper which is very common because of all the copper mines in the country, the most famous being in Falun.
This tint protects the wood very well, and gives the buildings a nice colour, especially, when it's lined with white, which gives them a very typical, picturesque look.
It is used on the huts, the farm buildings and the houses, which are built of wood most of the time.
In WS, I will add some other buildings stained with that tint.

Hola Marie-Louise
Una bella toma de eso lugar muy simpatico y atractivo. Me gustó el cenario del campo con simple casilla a la orilla del lago. Muy romantica la composición. Buen POV y encuadre, también, los colores y contrastes. Un abrazo, Consuelo

Ciao Marie Louise.
La composizione centrale è ben squilibrata dall'albero sulla sinistra che da una piacevole asimmetria.
Belli anche i colori delicati del cielo e del lago.
Buona giornata.
Bobo.

Salut Marie Louise,
a pleasant and typical view at Swedish lakes, well balanced with the tree and foreground water space. The file space of 77kb explains the huge amount of artefacts by the compression with also missing clarity. A pity for that nice view but in my eyes the impression is too low because of the technical quality.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Bonjour Marie-Louise,
Le cadrage sur cette petite cabane, peut-être de pêcheur, est bien conçu, avec l'arbre. Le regard vole au dessus de l'eau. Beau travail.
Bonne journée
Amicalement
Joël

Bonjour, chère Marie-Louise,
Une aquarelle, c'est la première impression que l'on ressent en admirant cette composition.
J'aime cette réalisation aux couleurs douces et à ce havre de paix.
Sauf erreur, je ne vois point d'atelier en pièce jointe.
Très jolie réalisation.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hej Marie Louise,
I'm glad to see someone else posting pictures from Gnesta,
And you captured the essence of the architecture in this part of the country, both in this picture and in the WS:s.
maybe there's a little bit to much of JPG compression.
anyway hope you having a good time here.
one small thing is that the map showing something a spot in the baltic, and so curious about exact where you've took this image

Hi Marie,
I taken a similar shot in 1983. I'm happy seeing that your shot is only two years old and the landscape is the same.
A nice framing with tipycal Sweden colors.
Ciao

Bonjour Marie-Louise,
Joli ce paysage aux teintes "aquarellées".
Une belle lumière et une compo bien pensée.
Amitiés, Gilles

Bonsoir Marie-Louise,

Une belle série sur ces constructions typiques du Nord de l'Europe. C'est un endroit idéal pour une petite partie de pêche, au calme... Ce paysage me fait penser au photo des granges de notre ami Pablo (Pablominto). Un endroit de villégiature idéal pour ceux qui aime la nature... je serai ravi. Merci Marie-Louise.

Avec toutes mes amitiés de Versailles... Eh non pas en Bretagne !!! et une très bonne soirée,

Jean-Charles

Marie-Louise bonjour.
Cette composition est simple mais donne une impression de paix et de quiétude. J'aime la couleur de la maison, le fin feuillage des bouleaux et l'eau juste un peu agitée.

Hi Marie Louise!
Just a pitty for the compression! The composition is very good, you know I like this kind. You placed the house and the tree very well, even the format was well chosen!

gunbud (28143) 2008-05-19 20:03

Hi MarieLouise,
Excellent capture of this simple boathouse seen along the lovely shores of this peaceful Sweedish lake that is wonderfully linned by green forrest.
Regards, Tom

Hola MarieLouise:

Gracias por tus comentarios.

Me gusta esta foto por el angulo que escogiste aqui, me gusta el contraste del agua ocn la casita roja en el lago. Creo que seria bueno quitarle un poco de ruido, pero es buena su composicion.

Saludos y que pase buen fin de semana

Elias

Salut Marie Louise,
C'est dommage que la netteté n'est pas mieux, parce que la compo est si belle comme elle est simple. Elle a une atmosphère de tranquillité et beauté très agréable.
Amicalement, José.

Bonjour exquise Marie Louise
Une belle image, mais la compression JPEG est trop réduite ce qui a donné une image à 78 Ko, je suppose que tu as voulu faire un crop assez important pour rapprocher la cabane.
Amitiés.

ciao MarieLouise,
un posto dove rifuggiarsi lontano dallo stress e dai rumori.
un'ottima inquadratura che trasmette la serenità del posto
