ReplyDeleteYou are capturing a mood of anticipation for that one hour of wonderfully magic light as the sun says goodbye to us each day.
ReplyDeleteMy deepest thanks to you, Merisi. I bow to you in kind!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a beautiful week,
Catherine
A wonderful sequence of photographs, Merisi. I like how you compose your pictures.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week ahead!
Lovely as always. I really like how you can see the shadow from the tree in the first photo. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteWonderful series of shots Merisi. I especially like the one of the benches and the way the one person is sitting and just gazing at the sights.
ReplyDeleteThe trees and shadows on the building are beautiful--so that's a linden tree! And the arc the benches creates is something I'd keep in my memory forever...can't wait for the next installment.
ReplyDeleteI really love the third shot! The composition is fantastic..
ReplyDeleteThat gate and wall are perfect for a story I'm writing.
ReplyDeleteLovely picture.
ReplyDeleteYou have captured such an atmosphere in that sunlight; an air of expectancy,anticipation in that quiet hour. I love this area with the historic view over the city.In one of those small lodges, Bruckner spent his last years composing, wholly oblivious to the palace only steps away.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pictures!
I love the gate and garden bench
