I like the mix of the hot oranges of the flowers with the cool, blue background.....what a great eye you have! It was 106 degrees in Dallas today. How hot was it in Bratislava? Last summer, my husband and I cruised along the Daunbe and only got to see Bratislava from the water. We want to go back and spend more time in the area. Happy Monday! ~Allie
Maalie: Thank you, I quite enjoyed catching them! :-)
tut-tut: It was one of these magic moments, when all of a sudden the same colours seem to stand out. The girl in the orange and blue walking by was sheer serendipity! :-)
ll: Thank you! Lavinia, you are down to two letters!!! I did remember your face, though. ;-)
willow: I love that hour of the day, the few minutes I took to take the pictures, the last rays of the sun painted everything in this magic light.
my melange: Merci beaucoup! :-) The light was so inspiring!
allie: Temperatures were in the nineties yesterday, and I am not complaining, especially since they dropped overnight into the low seventies (a cool weather front is coming through). I love the countryside between Bratislava and Vienna, as flat as can be, my kind of a landscape (a German writer, Arno Schmidt, living in an equally flat area of Northern Germany, talked of "eine mir gemaesse Landschaft" - losely translated, "a landscape that agrees with me" -, and I wholeheartily share his opinion about flatlands *smile*).
That's what public pools look like in Vienna! I could travel the pools just for their beauty. This one has a quite heavenly location too, high on a hill, with a view that's breathtaking. There are even more exquisite ones!
VICKIE: I love the colors that pools display at sundown, together with the quiet shortly before closing time they exude an atmosphere of comforting nostalgia.
FREEFELLING: Those canna lillies against the blue of the pool is a very cunning colour combination! I keep encountering such gifted and hardworking gardeners around the cities public spaces, and so hardworking and friendly. They make my day, every time I look at the result of their creativity and labour!
Hallo Merisi, als regelmäßiger Leser und Bewunderer des Blogs sind diese Photos das bisher Beste, was ich gesehen habe (obwohl ich dachte, es gibt bisher keine Steigerung ;-) Darf ich fragen, welche Fotokamera für die Fotos verwendet wird? Spezielle Objektive, Filter? Oder einfach nur eine tolle Photographin hinter der Linse? :) Excellent work, really!
Sunday After Hours
What gorgeous colours and reflections!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And lovely how you picked up on the colors . . .
ReplyDeleteSuch vivid bright colours...all reflected in the water. Very clever of you, Merisi!
ReplyDeleteThat evening light is so soft and mellow. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI love the oranges and bright yellows. The reflection shots are so artistic :)

ReplyDeleteIf you click on the label "closing time", you should find what you initially expected. ;-)
Simon:
Merci! :-)
What a heavenly pool...
ReplyDeleteSo elegant
YUM!

ReplyDeleteLove the colors! These photos really evoke such softness and serenity.
ReplyDeletebeautiful light, this one in the late afternoon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely swimming pool. I wouldn't mind a dip in there!
ReplyDeleteYes, light is everything. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteMerisi - what a surprise. These photos are so different than your others. I love the contrast, I love them all. You are truly an artist.

I love orange and blue together!
ReplyDeleteAren't the canna lilies beautiful?
I'm starting to long for summer.
