Great shot. It is heartening to see that the trees have not been taken away because of their age.

Det här var väl en viktig marin bas i Norge. Har aldrig varit på fästningen. Vackert foto i svart vitt som passar in i den gamla miljön.

Oi, så morsomt! Ser du har tatt turen til Stavern i helgen, der er det flott, ta deg en tur på sommeren også da er det virkelig liv der. Fikk dere vært innom Mølen også? Uansett var dette ett nydelig bilde som vanlig :)

Der gav du meg en ide - nesten på en prikk make til inngangen til Bergenhus. Bra!

Flott perspektiv!
Skygger, slike som på bildet ditt her blir ekstra fine i sort/hvit versjon.
Veldig fint! :)

I love all the texture in this picture. Great job as usual!

This is very clever with the walkers you can see through the opne door.

Wonderful detail, shapes and light. All the things for a great B&W.

Beautiful photo. I do love black and white. There is just so much texture in this photograph.

History is good to have around.

I like the timing of this shot John especially with those shadows creeping into the image

Arija said...

There you go again John, just beautiful!

Just seeing the pathway is enough to know it's an interesting and full of history place!

The paved pathway attracted my attention immediately. Timeless.

Daryl said...

Excellent photography, John!
An ideal subject for B/W, perfectly executed.

Lovely textures and shadows in this picture. A very atmospheric photo. It really 'sucks' you in.

Ja, jeg tenkte nesten det etterhvert da jeg så bildene deres kom ut. Ustanselog med motiver der nede :) Var på Mølen på søndag til solen var nede, det ble en flott ettermiddag med herlig lys.

Takker :) Ja, det hadde vært artig å sett det i tåke også. Svarten kaller de den store steinen på Mølen. Må nok ned en tur igjen snart, var bart og fint der nå. Har smeltet raskt siste tiden.

The contrasts are wonderful. I can feel myself walking into the picture - just the sort of thing I'd like on my wall!

Wonderful play with light and shadow. And I like the paving stones.

Truly exceptional work on this! Magnificent tonal range.
