Mist over the lake ...., a photo from Midi-Pyrenees, South

Photographer's Note

Lac du Merle located in the Sidobre (Tarn) is a place that I like , I like to stroll through all time, in any season . It is never the same . Covered with mist, it becomes mysterious, incites reverie and makes the soul poet , he reminded me of that wonderful poem by Victor Hugo :

When the moon appears in the mist of the plains,
When the shadow moved seems to find his voice,
When evening filled with thrills and breath
The pale shadows of the woods,

When the beef comes with its bell sound ,
Like the old poet , overwhelmed, sad and beautiful ,
Whose thought the bottom of the shade still tinkles
Before the door of the tomb ;

If you want, we will roam the valleys ,
We walk in the grass not silent,
And we will look at the starry vaults.
It is in the field you see the sky.

We walk through the green countryside ;
Will look , crying that vanishes
Our souls down here by the open misfortune
On flowers that open at night!

We speak softly infinite things .
Everything is great , everything is sweet, though all is dark .
We open our hearts to the dark harmonies
Falling from the deep blue.

This is the time when the sun shines , where women radiate .
Wave your beauty and light dazzle my eyes.
Dreamers, we m麝erons disorder of our souls
In the serenity of heaven.

The quiet and dark night is a prayer
All the rumors of the night and the day ;
We , all the torments of this bitter life
We will only love!

��When the moon appears in the Mist Plains poem by Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

Hi Magaly,
This is really a very good picture! An amazing mood here, peaceful and quiet with beautiful reflections of the reed in the absolute perfect mirror of water. Very soft and subdued colours. The foreground tree adds a good graphical pattern. Excellent!
Kind regards
Gunnar

Ciao Magaly
atmosfera romantica e struggente che traspare dalla tua fotografia.
La compoosizione � perfetta e la nebbia aggiunge un particolare fascino alla ripresa. Notevoli sia la nitidezza che i colori.
Ciao e buona settimana

hi magaly,
i love this picture of the mist covered water. your composition is excellent and very poetic, just like your note. the muted and subdued colours are lovely, especially like the brown tones of the reeds to contrast with the monotone nature of the rest of the image.
regards,
brian

j'aime l'atmosph鑽e qui se d馮age de ta photo, la brume est suffisamment l馮鑽e pour que l'on aper輟ive les arbres au fond � droite mais pas l'horizon, il en ressort une sorte de nostalgie.

Adverse weather condition is a great challenge to photographers and you did a wonderful job capturing this beautiful scene. Love the effect of the mist on the mood. Good details in spite of the condition. Well done, tfs.

annjackman (23019) 2014-01-31 8:52

Hello Magaly,
This is a very subtle picture with the colours of the reeds just giving some soft colour in the mist. It is well composed with the lake disappearing into the mist in the distance. Beautifully photographed recession from FG to BG.

Bonjour Magaly,

An apt poem to accompany this imagery, and I couldn't agree more...the mist has created quite a mysterious atmosphere, I love it! So often it seems we try to photograph too much, and this is a wonderful example of simplicity which conveys a succinct mood. I can virtually hear the quiet calm, a very tranquil scene indeed...dark, but not scary. :) Enjoy the week ahead.

Warm regards,

Jason

Hello Magaly,
you have got very lovely gallery in here. I like this picture very much - there is romantic and mysterious atmosphere about it and the composition is light and simple. The reflection on the water makes the image more interesting and the brighter tone of the reeds add some color.
Thanks for sharing and have a nice day

Hello Magaly,

You're capturing well this place and scene by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the calm nature wrapped the foggy atmosphere and tasteful plants. It's tasteful for the color depth and contrast. And, the reflection projected to the water draws out a good impact in this image.

Kind regards,

Salut ma chere Magaly

Con un cognomen come Pagano, spero che tu capisca l' italiano, perche non parlo il francese :)

Questa foto 'e come una poesia o un'acquarello. Adoro i colori dorati e la nebbie che ha integrato bene con la bella poesia dal grande Victor Hugo (uno dei miei scrittori preferiti). Complimenti, la foto e' artistica, unica e molto atmosferica.

Un caro saluto
