    Oj...disse var virkelig vakre!!!
    Nydelige vintermotiv!
    Utrolig effektfullt med det enslige treet ute på den snødekte sletta.
    Og spesielt fint når himmelen var såå vakker!
    Takk for hilsenen hos meg:)
    Hils tilbake til Lene;)
    Vinterbildene under her var også fine, men jeg likte aller best disse to siste!
    Ha en fin kveld!
    Hilsen meg(",)

    I love the somber gray below the brightening skies. The lone tree standing there is melancholy and beautiful. It's as if you took a photo of someone's soul.

    Nydelig bilde John, forstår meg ikke ennå så mye på eksponering som Ivar skriver jeg da, men ble veldig opphengt i det ensomme treet, bildet hadde IKKE blitt det samme uten. Perfekt komponert vil jeg si.

    Ha snart en toppers helg.

    This is exquisite, John. I love the ways the clouds are line with gold and the tree in the foreground looks like you painted stripes down the tree trunk and limbs. ;-)

    Hi John,
    These are beautiful!
    I especially love the first one with that brillance in the back corner.
    The tree is captivating all there alone.

    Sukk! Dette er balsam for sjelen min. Har du sett på makan så fint. Ha du gjnort noe med bildet for å fikse på fargene eller er naturen så nydelig. Uansett så ble dette et utrolig vakkert bilde. Jeg likte begge to men jeg tror at jeg velger det første. Og de du har under her er like fine. Vinter på sitt vakreste.

    You know, I find myself saying so often that a photo took my breath away, and when I say that, they have, but with this one... the first one, with the altocumulus stratiformus sky sinking in that tree as a focal point, with the golden setting sun and the amazingly contrasting blue... Oh my! It was an overwhelming taking of my breath. Bravo!

    Hei på deg, fantastiske skybilder. Si meg har du og Einar samme favoritt-tre??? Det var da veldig likt - sande er rett borti gata her det...kanskje jeg og skulle lage min verson av det treet en dag. Vanvittig fine bilder var det i alle fall:))

    I cannot decide whether I like the portrait or landscape format, they are both stunning, the gold in the clouds is wonderful.

    What is the fascination with the lonely tree? Since childhood I've found these images tranquil. Maybe we as humans feel like the lonely tree? Don't know but thanks for some great pics. --and the sky.....!!!

    Ja Godt Nyttår John:)
    Har vi ikke sagt det før i år. Du himmel som jeg har svikta da! Men jeg får ta det igjen;)

    Du verden for noen Sky Watch-bilder. Vakkert som bare du kan! Alldeles nydelig og mektig himmel og nydelig landskap under!

    Jeg leser for livet i ei fotobok av Scott Kelby og no har jeg kommet til der om en skal ha fokus på hav eller himmel. Så da får du krysse fingrene for meg;) Hahahahaha.

    Ha ei kjempekos helg og hils ho snuppisnupp:))
