Just a few shots from August, little more than a divertissement, with a bit of backing in love to some uncertain shapes... waiting for the autumn colors, some already visible on the mountains.
The gift December brings me is the gold from the scarce water which still freely flows in the rivers, colored by the winter sun reflected by snow-covered trees; or the amber tone of tannins dissolved in it, made evident by a white, spotless ice which is forming as I see it, in the very moment a new wave touches an icy rock.
It is the silver forest encrusted with thick rime, when it’s already freezing but little snow has come. It is the red of the pines lit by the last sunset moment, standing out against the bluish shadow as corals or sea fans in an underwater picture. Entirely natural colors, migrated like you see them from the original scene to the memory card, and from there to the screen ... which makes the gifts even more precious. Playing with Water. Two recent shots to a couple of waterfalls among the closer to home, part of the series of more or less impressive waterfalls which, like a crown, surrounds Särna at almost 360 degrees along mountain slopes and main rivers. |
