Yesterday evening I had to pop over to a friend's house just as dusk was approaching. It had been a very cold day and as I travelled on the bus I could see the mist slowly creeping down the river and filling the valley bottom. By the time I arrived on the hill where my friend lives, it was all looking very pretty. The picture is hand-held and taken on my compact camera, so it's very 'soft' - but in a way I think that suits the subject. Sometimes you just have to take a chance on a shot.
On a more sober note, there was a serious accident in Saltaire yesterday, when a car crashed onto the railway lines just outside Saltaire station. Thankfully it seems no-one was hurt. The Telegraph and Argus newspaper carries full details here. (Sorry, your own intrepid reporter was stuck in the office at the time!)
I think this picture could make a perfect postcard!what a romantic view!
ReplyDeleteI think your choice of frame is just about perfect for this shot. And I agree, the softness is appropriate for the settling night.
ReplyDeleteThat photograph - and your treatment of it - works really well.
ReplyDeletewonderful photo!! good moment you catch!! regards
ReplyDeleteIt almost looks like a painting!
ReplyDeleteYes, sometimes 'soft' works perfectly as it does in this lovely image. So peaceful with the soft pastels lingering into the night!
ReplyDeleteNice soft, atmospheric shot. A little of the watercolour about it. Nice one.
ReplyDeleteNo apologies needed for that truly beautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photograph, Jenny. There is much to be said for the little point-and-shoot Johnny- on-the-spot cameras. They're there!
ReplyDeleteSuperbe pic with this mystic coloured dusk effect. I wish you a nice week and send hugs from Luzia.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot! Nothing wrong with a compact camera! ~Lili
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. You're right, the softness lends itself nicely to the photo.

ReplyDeleteIndeed, I join the chorus, you captured this at a lovely moment and the softness adds to the mood.
