After Rain

Posted on Sun, 21 August, 2016 by

_DS84741After rain, low-lying clouds fill the valleys in a constant state of flux. Looking back down the valley my eye was attracted to the roof-lines echoing the ridge lines of the lower slopes of the Mischabel chain of mountains.

About LensScaper

Hi - I'm a UK-based photographer who started out 45+ years ago as a lover of landscapes, inspired by my love of outdoor pursuits: skiing, walking and climbing. Now retired, I seldom leave home without a camera and I find images in unexpected places and from different genres. I work on the premise that Photography is Art and that creativity is dependent on the cultivation of 'A Seeing Eye'.

    I really like the lines of this — the clean rooflines juxtaposed with the mountains is so attractive. It took me a minute to figure out the “things” atop the roofs. Finally, it occurred to me: it’s cold there. Those are fireplace chimneys. Or so I think.

      Yes, it gets cold out there in Switzerland in the winter and every building has heating and most have wood burning stoves – hence the chimneys. I have looked down the valley so often and never quite seen this image before – the low-lying clouds made all the difference.

    Such glorious lines making giving this image the right contrast ! 🙂
    Our mutual friend Adrian has sharpened my sense for lines and you underline it. 😉

    Another great shot Andy! The natural and the man-made blending perfectly.
