Took A Walk | Info + Comments (37)

Isn't this a nice place to take a walk at sunrise? The mist had not completely disappeared and the air was cool and fresh.

I took this one at a little lake/pond which is called Mustalampi, excatly in between my last two images, since there are three in that forest. I kind of like the simplicity here, even though there is a lot small detail in the grass, the wood etc. but still I hope it evokes this fresh morning mood.

Placing the tripod here was difficult since it was very swampy (does a word like this exist?) around there. My tripods legs were sinking into the mud and with the added weight of the camera it didn't get so much sturdier. Also stepping, or walking, everywhere else other than the path can positively be considered as a stupid idea. Note to self: shoes are not as waterproof as advertised, and when sinking-in deeper than the ankles they don't let the water out either.

I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

UPDATE: I, again, successfully managed to upload the wrong version of the image which should be now corrected.

The wooden boards make an excellent vanishing point towards the top of the image. Very nice.

Just amazing work. The crispiness of morning air, the frost on that growth.. The fog .. Amazing work. I'm speechless.

Very sleepy hollow ;) Absolutely love this, perfect atmosphere ... particularly the way you bring what may be directly underfoot into the bottom of frame as well. Wonderful.

Outstanding composition, like how the trail of boards lead you through this image. Beautiful landscape and lovely reflections. A gorgeous landscape picture.

As always your photos are wonderful. You are inspiration to me and one day I hope to be able to post something as beautiful as this. Your photos have remarkable colors.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Swampy is fine, as is your picture (more than fine!). Some years ago we had a protester against road building who lived in tunnels under the path of a new motorway, his nickname was Swampy and he was headline news for a while.
Looks like sphagnum moss either side of your narrow path - no wonder the tripod was not too steady, but no sign of that in this beautifully crisp image.

Wonderful composition, I love the colours and this peaceful atmosphere.

un passage pas très rassurant mais aller vers le pays des rêves demande un peu de courage. Très belle image

Thanks a lot everybody for visiting and taking your time to leave a comment.
@Eric: This story about "Swampy" is just amazing. I guess that guy is not living there anymore. I recently was on location scouting in a different swamp not too far away from this one, and that place is really swampy. Much more than this one. I'm wondering already now, how to set up the tripod there, that is unless it starts to snow before that.
@Rob: it makes me happy to hear that you like my work so much. Thanks a lot for your kind words.
