Mourn the dawning

My old friend the almond tree, with my old friend the D70. Cabrerizos,

Salamanca, Spain. Back in 2005, deepest January. Nikon 18-70

f3.5/4.5G at 18mm, 1/20 sec, f13, ISO 400.

Thanks for passing by. Any comments warmly welcome.

elegant... like the tone

I love the simplicity of the shot and the very moody atmosphere.

The very gradual diminishing visibility adds a great sense of mystery and silence.

Sincere Compliments!

The slight curve of the horizon and fading fog (with a less affected foreground) make for great compositional elements.  I'd like to compare this to versions that have cooler tones -- reddish fog may be an odd combination.

Hi, Stephen. Thank you for your helpful comment. I think you're right. In some respects this version was an accident; I chanced to make the white balance warmer and then thought "This could be OK as a pseudo black and white sepia image". But it's in colour, of course. I'll see if I get round to offering a cooler version. Best regards.

Amazingly beautiful shot!
