[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
.....Originally the site was home to the monastery of Skovkloster from 1135 , but was taken over by Herluf Trolle and Birgitte Goeye , who established a boarding school there in 1565 (!) . From 1966 the school has also admitted day students and from 1985 boarders of both sexes . Every morning they gather in the church for morning prayers .
If you take a closer look you may see a couple on the lawn , close to the buildings . That is a wooden statue og Herluf Trolle and Birgitte Goeye , carved out of a tree which had suffered the Dutch elm disease .
One day I will post a picture of this very provident nobelman and his wife .

Hello,
a very nice and tranquil early morning view - pleasant and soft light, nice tree branches and stepped gables. A really good photo.

Best regards Kristof

Hallo Dorte!
Again this wonderful light! I like the framing by the branches very much. Perhaps a little bit less of the ground and more of this sky and the branches would have been better...but that's my opinion. I like this one and it was worth the early walk!
Greetings from Siegen - still without snow...

What a beauty, Dorte. The rather subdued sunlight on the buildings' walls (they are a marvellous deep red) and roofs, and the lovely framing winter branches make this one a special photo. The snow-covered ground still looks like it's in night time, yet the sky is full of the first rays of sun. I spotted the 'couple' and I'm glad you told us it is a statue! I think Frank has a good point about the proportion of snow, but still onne of your very best shots from recent times, I think.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Dorte,
I am a little surprised to find so few critiques for this. A fine photo indeed. Beautiful capture of the early morning mood, wonderful soft colours.

Hello Dorte,
So this is still a school... very nice setting!
Photo wise you capture this lovely morning light, lending life to the old structures...
Good point of view and fine framing, and you have as much snow as we have here in Norway! Almost.
Greetings,

This one I really like Dorte. The light and the almost pink coloured background clouded sky is perfect for the setting and final result. Maybe slightly more light in the foreground had been ok - still a fine and well disposed work here.

Hi Dorte. What attracted me initially to the thumbnail was the intense glow behind the buildings. In addition the rich reds of the brickwork.Great mood and a fine composition that also accentuates the beauty of the trees.Regards. Klaudio.
