Early Morning HeraldsTeasing shafts of stray sun rays
break through the thin cloud cover
and reflect off the verdigris dome of the cathedral -
welcome harbingers of one more golden autumn day
View of Salzburg's Old Town
from the right bank of
the Salzach river
Wrought Iron Guild SignLooking up from one of
the narrow lanes in the Old Town,
the timid morning light
armed with a palette of soft pastels
The white dome of the volièreframed by a new copper roof
against the morning sky
and Hohensalzburg Fortress

That first entry is a wonderful first showing, lovely image, warm tones~
ReplyDeletelovely; the gossamer signage buttressed by the domes
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are truly unique, Merisi. The church could be anywhere,Spain, Italy, Mexico, save for the limpid light
ReplyDeleteLove the tree branch framing on that first shot!
ReplyDeleteThe positive/negative space of the first one is excellent! So hard to achieve with a photo.
ReplyDeleteThe first image is stunning, especially when enlarged. And what is that pristine white dome (3rd image) made of? It looks delicate as paper! I envy you your beautiful autumn days.
ReplyDeleteHere in England we are washed out by rain, though somehow we are still managing to go up in flames - drop by to see!
Just like your other readers, I like your first picture...
ReplyDeleteI love the 3rd shot as well !
The white dome looks like a Tulle ball dress twirling on top of that roof along with others in the background...
