I really like the light here. That and the great perspective from your angle of shot makes a lovely moody, soft scene of isolation. Your depth of field is good as is your focus and those colours, tones and contrasts are very pleasing. Nice work!
Ha! Ha1 Had same effect on me, as on Henk. Although not homesick but wouldn’t mind wandering around there. It is so much like the bench that I sat on, in Gouda, on my last day, of a holiday, in 1997. It was the spot where I used to pick up my two friends, Imme and Karin, and walk to school with them, in the early fifties. They lived on a house-boat. I sat there, on that last day and a little blonde girl came and chatted with me. She reminded me so much of Karin (the younger sister). I felt as though I was in a movie, like Rain Man. Even though it was early August then, it looked like this. (You know what Holland’s like!) :) I agree with all of Henk’s comments – almost!
If in our youth, a balance could be struck between ‘time’ and peace, this plane could be heaven; not the confussing mess that now unfolds before our eyes… You find life in this world… hope can be found thru your gentle visions; my thanks for sharing such as these.
its funny.. i dont like many of your pictures, but the ones i like are just so amazing!! i mean.. this is one of the the most charming picturs about benches (i love empty benches) i’ve ever seen.. whether i love your picture or i hate them;).. strange.. so strange,.. but the last two pictures i commented were so full of feeling, so intimate.. thanks for sharing them!!!
