[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Høruphav on the island of Als is a small and cozy fishing hamlet with a boat harbour. The harbour was built in 1842 in order to defend the Danish coast against potential enemies from the South. The harbour has space for 300 boats and is beautifully surrounded by woods and sheltered from the wind. A private association, the Høruphav Bådelaug, owns the harbour. That might be the reason why this place is so well organized or truly "hyggelig" as the Danes say. “Hyggelig” portrays that special mix of cosiness, comfort and warmth that is so typical for Denmark.
You can just enjoy the atmosphere here, or you can follow a very nice walking path from here all along the coastline of the Danish German border. There is also a glass factory where you can experience a workshop and watch the glassblowers work. And there is a hotel with a restaurant which is quite remarkable due to its high gastronomic standards. The Hotel Baltic was built in 1875, when this region was a part of Prussia. Hoeruphav is really a very pleasant place!

Hi Harriet,
This picture is a masterpiece,very nice scenery.
great composiiton and nice sharpness, beautiful reflections,
Georg

Hi Harriet,
A lovely harbour photo! Very good composition, beautiful colours and good sharpness. The reflections are beautiful. TFS.
Greetings, Lasse

Harriet, this is cozy for sure, and from the look of the hulls it seems the sea here is much more severe than around Kennebunk or maybe these boats of yours will spend time out in it while those here will not. In any case this is a fine shot of a fleet that looks like it earns it's keep.

Greg

Hi Harriet,
The reflections really make this photo. The repetion of the masts is also a major part of the picture. I´ve seen it in many harbours in Sweden and I always try to estimate the value in all these boats. Must be millions of euros... A fine photo anyway!

Hello Harriet
une belle image pleine de quiétude. Une très belle lumière qui donne de belle couleurs et de très jolis reflets.
Du bon travail!!

I have a real love of boats, there's always such a peacefulness in these type of pictures. The reflections in the water are beautiful!! Very nice colors and detail! TFS

Hello Harriet,
A fine composition of this marina shot. The boats in the Fg looks quite different and interesting from the usual yacht we see elsewhere. They look more like fishing boat than leisure yacht. Good to have a little more FG water to allow a full view of the reflection.

Hi Harriet.
An array of masts like this one is always appealing to me. You composed this beautifully - there is just the right amount of water in the foreground and a judicious amount of sky above the masts, which often come too close to the top of the photo in this type of shot. The blue boat looks delightful and the slightly shimmering reflections are very attractive. The exposure is good too - not too much contrast and a nice light. I enjoyed reading your note about this place, too. All in all, a really good photo.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Harriet,

Seems like a fine mix of leisure and fishing vessels!
Great clarity in colours, and on a lucky day you can probably buy fresh shrimps as they are returning to the harbour...
A well composed presentation, with some reflections adding to the impact!

Hallo Harriet,
diese Plastikwannen der Boote erinnern mich zwingend an Spielzeug. Mir gefällt die unruhige Wasseroberfläche mit den verzerrten Spiegelungen. Und das blaue Boot macht den Blickfang.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Harriet,
Top notch coastal shot the little blue fishing vessel dominating the scene as it makes a striking reflection in the calm waters of the lovely harbor.
Excellent clarity and sharp details to this hyggelig harbor.
There are many such harbors in maine.

Hi Harriet,
I like very much your composition: the sky and the water for me are paintings while the center with boats is a photo. I don't know well how to explain: it is a relationship between the vagueness and the sharpness, what what moves and what is stable. But in any cases it is very successful!
Congratulations, have a nice WE

Hi Harriet.
These small harbours really capture you, and you represent them so well.
It's like being here.
The masts make a fantastic pattern here.
Lovely!
Best wishes, Jan

Bonjour Harriet,
la photo est naturelle et bien exposée, un petit manque de rendu du soeil, ou tout simplement n'étiat-il pas là au moment de la photo.
Des blancs parfaits et bien balancés, une photo agréable et calme.
Excellent week-end.
Daniel.

I like this harbour view with those many masts of the boat.
Good colors and nice composition.
Well done!

Bonjour mon amie Harriet,
Une bien jolie image d'un port mêlant la plaisance à la pêche professionnelle. La forêt de mâts doit se balancer par grand vent.
Très bon cadrage permettant d'envelopper du regard ce très agréable port de Hoeruphav.
Amitiés.

Guten Tag Harriet

Wonderful repetition of the yachts & their masts. Good sharpness with attractive, pastel colours. Tfs!

Hello Harriet,

I should say Snap!
How funny, I have just posted a shot complete with harbour, a multitde of masts and predominance of the colour blue; then I bring up your site to be greeted with a very similarshot! As they say, great minds think alike!
I'm sure your views were the same as mine. Great scene, lovely composition and an attrraction for the sea that acts like a magnet.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

salut harriet
on retrouve ce bateau bleu au port, sous une belle lumiére qui donne des reflets, un port bien tranquille ,beau travail

Hello Harriet,
very nice photo, good natural colours. The blue boat looks lovely! Very good composition. Such boats remind me of Swedish little harbours and yachts in them. I like this tranquil atmosphere, with the boats' reflection in the water.
kind regards,
Elena

Hallo Harriet,
Lovely little harbour and a well exposed image as measured on their white surfaces, as a result the impression is luminous.
Have a nice sunday JY

Hello Harriet,
Very apt title, a lovely cozy shot, so calm and peaceful.
Good to see you put the working boats in the foreground of your composition.
Nice clean detail, simple lights and good sharps.

Hallo Harriet!
Für mich ein ungewöhnlicher aber schöner Anblck! Bei diesem "glatten" Wasser ginge ich wahrscheinlich auch an Bord ;-) Eine wirklich schöne Szenerie in tollem Licht. Mir gefallen auch die nicht "aufgedrehten" Farben!
Schöne Grüße aus dem herbstlichen Westfalen!
Frank

Hi Harriet!

Beautiful harbour indeed, a quiet, peaceful place that gives the feeling of a safe shelter, but also invites for journeys, small or big! Nice composition and framing, excellent light managment!

Hercules

Hello Harriet
Hope things are well your side of the world? Lovely cosy fishing harbour this is with all the boats mingling with each other. Lovely colours and so are the gentle reflections and ripples. Great work Harriet.

Jim

Bonjour Harriet
La coque bleue de ce bateau bien cadré donne toute sa force à cette image.
Bonne journée

Hi Harriet,

A beautiful tangle of boats in this port from where brought out well the blue hull of this pretty trawler. Moreover calm water offers a quite pleasant reflection. Beautiful and peaceful image. Thank you for the note Harriet.

With all my friendships and a very good week,

Jean-Charles

Ola Harriet ,
Bonita composição com estes barcos de pesca gostei muito dos seus reflexos na agua , bonito efeito visual com os mastros , parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Hi Harriet!
I do like the composition with the boats (and their masts), their reflection on the water surface and the vegetation in the bg!
That looks pretty cozy, I shall agree!
Best regards,
Neyvan
