In the CountryI took this picture from a hill near Aurolzmünster,
located about 250 km west of Vienna
and 40 km south of the city of Passau.
The mountains in the background are part of the
"Niedere Tauern" range
of the Central Eastern Alps.

Nice pics. The clouds are in such turmoil in the first shot- then you show the opposit in the peacefulness of the still water and reflections int he last.

Cloud reflections in water I find very soothing.
ReplyDeleteDear Merisi: I am a retired retina surgeon, now a painter, who follows your blogs faithfully. I was stunned today by the beauty of your shots of PAINTED SKYS and humbly ask if I may use your last two photos as models in my work ?
ReplyDeleteBetter than any nude model, although I am an admirer of the human as a physician. Please continue your fantastic contribution to the peace,joy and sanity of all of us living in this troubled world. Happy Easter. Ron
I love these watercolors!
ReplyDeleteMy fav is #3, it's like a painting. A good painting with light in this case. Happy SWF!
ReplyDeleteDon't ask me to choose a favourite I can't. Painted skies is the perfect title especially for the last one for it's light and texture.
ReplyDeleteMerisi, these are lovely, I paeticularly love the Innviertel shot. The reflections are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteFrohe Ostern!
