Life in a lens
desolate
Posted by Sandrine (Cincinnati, United States) on 22 March 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
In my recent shots, and a few more to come, I wanted to show the last of winter...
Soon the grass will magically turn green
The trees bloom in all their beauty
The colors will be bright and beautiful
And nature will awaken.
So here is the last of nature asleep... in its peculiar beauty...
Thanks for stopping by! I love to hear any of your thoughts...
Merci de votre visite! J'aime entendre toutes pensees...

I like the perspective that leads the eye and the moody atmosphere

Bonjour,
Le royaume de l'hiver prend fin et m'invite à dire :
Derniers frissons
premiers instants,
braises de joie,
et à nouveau le printemps.
Chahut de silence,
fracas de paix,
nouvelle saison,
et tout recommence.
Bouquet de fleurs,
lumière de soleil,
espoir retrouvé,
et je m’envole.
Bien à vous, et merci de votre aimable passage...
Bonnes fêtes de Pâques, amicalement, Mary.

Great, yes I see what u mean, if a picture paints a thousand words. Here is a message I have written on my latest post, Just wondering folks, would it be possible to have a "what you look like day", lets say this Thursday 27th March, we could all post a photo of ourselves so we can see what we all look like, so we can put a face to a name. Let me know what you think.

That sure is a deolate looking landscape, I really like the contrast between the dark trees and white sky.

Very beautiful shot. But to me this season looks more like fall. But it is all because here is everything still covered with snow. :)

Wonderful. I like the way the center rises up. I love the earth tones and light.

Atmosphères brumeuses, arbres fantomatiques et couleurs sombres, tous les symboles de l'hiver sont là dans cette série qui célèbre avec justesse la fin cette saison mal-aimée, beaucoup plus difficile à capter que les autres car elle offre peut-être moins de situations photogéniques (la neige exceptée !!).

Le titre est super bien trouvé... la photo représente exactement le mot désolation.
C'est la nature qui sommeille un jour d'hiver entre humidité et brouillard.
Mais elle va repartir au printemps. Une bien jolie vue.
Bonne journée de Pâques à toi !

Encore une fois tellement beau. Malgré la tristesse qui se dégage, on aimerait fouler ce sol et s'imprégner des odeurs. Mille fois bravo.

The crop works well here, it emphasizes the tree line to pull you through nicely.

I never have to go very far to find one of your images to comment on. This is a very nice image. Excellent.

Super shot really pulls you in. The balance and proportion is great, with the ground in the foreground bulging a bit and the space between the trees pulling you in.
