Pale winter light

This photo was taken from the rocks on the eastern bank of Espoo Bay, a place where I like to visit once a while to see the always varying appearance of sea. This was taken in the middle of January at 2:40 pm. That year we did not have ice cover in sea yet in January and there was not much snow either. Temperature was -5 °C, which also was mild for the time of year.

Good morning, neighbour! ;-)
You caught a wonderful mood here, especially caused by this gorgeous light coming through the clouds - somehow like a promise. The silvery glittering on the sea simply is an additional beautiful detail and it creates a lovely contrast to the sugar coated landscape around. The whole atmosphere of this scenery is so calm and serene - yes, it is somehow impressive.
Greetings from Westphalia with a lot of slush!

Hi Lasse,
wonderful splash of golden light on the water in this black and white dominated photo.
Lovely winter landscape/
regards, Gerrit

Beautiful Lasse,

Those rays of laight give warmth to this cold and almost abandon landscape....great landscape shot!

Take care, enjoy the weekend,

Henk

True winter, just like it is in my brain, Lasse. That spot in the back and most of the image more a b&w one, cold and strong, the light on the water is just great.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Excellent landscape shot Lasse. Everything looks so cold except for the small beam of light peeping through the clouds. I particularly like the reflected light on the water; a real beacon between the frosted trees. Well done

Hi Lasse,

a great contribution to the theme. The light here is wonderful and really warms the winter scene. A really pretty image, peaceful and serene.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hello Lass,

Beautiful winter landscape shot, the pale light of warm tone is a wonderful anchor point of our vision, it is what makes this photo a wonderful shot, without it, it would be just grayish blue, the presence of the golden warm tone really enhances the beauty of the landscape and enhances the composition.

Hi Lasse
Almost a monotone except for the pale yellows from the winter sun. Nicely done indeed.

You have increased your posting rate! (:-)
I wasn't aware of all those photos from you! Let's begin with this one...
It's such a beautiful image Lasse! Not only the landscape is so fine - a landscape which I have seen previously with different conditions - but you have captured a special light which make the whole scene really enchanting. The technical quality is excellent and the composition is your trade mark! It's a photo with a special mood and atmosphere which fits well with the coming Holidays.
A very expressive photo with a feeling which goes beyond the mere technical qualities.
Well done,
Donato

Hello Lasse.
I like the picture with the strip of sunlight on the water.
Tranquil landscape and excellent light.
Have a nice sunday

The tones are gorgeous Lasse, looks like a very hard exposure which you have mastered in my opinion, the colour from that sun gives an otherwise muted look a bit of life.
Well done
Jim

Hi, Lasse-

A rare winter shot, dim light of that time and latitude (lassitude?) well conveyed. We can feel the chill and at the same the touch of sunlight breaking through.

Best,
Dan

Hi Lasse
I have never experienced such a low temperature such as this. Only up to 6 ° C. A beautiful composition much like the Christmas cards we buy here although there is no snow in our country. Fine work with this light.
Ric

Absolutely great, Lasse.
You certainly got the right moment with that streak of light breaking through the clouds and reflecting in the water.
The light conditions are not easy and you did a great job in your PP.

Hello, Lasse.

What a gloomy image!
When I saw it for the first time I fell the chilly wind and I got so sad!
You know when in a movie the weather kind of reflects the mood of the character?
It´s something like this I see here, a filmic moment. The sun peeping among the clouds
brings hope.

Excellent image.

Hi Lasse,
I love the golden path of light as it shines through the clouds and dances across the sea. Together with the hopeful light and the snow covered trees, the composition makes a great Christmas card.

Ciao Lasse, how are you and how are things going? It's been ages but I finally managed to come back to PF :)
Beautiful light that convey to the scene such a serene atmosphere, with that golden reflections on the water marking the extra point!
This picture is a real pleasure to look at, and the way you have presented it..well, it's simply spotless.
Take care,
Igor

Hello Lasse - You have such a lovely gallery and I will need time to look through it properly. I have a fondness for landscapes and this one with the soft winter light is enchanting. Living in Namibia this kind of light just does not happen and it is such a treat to look at the delicacy of it. The warm burst of colour adds the promise of warmer days to come and enlivens the quiet stillness of winter. A lovely atmospheric image.
Warm regards rosemary
