Hi Pablo,

this lavishly green landscape is really inviting ... at least with this spectacular weather (with the rain we had a lot of bad experience, too, this year...). The red spots of houses are adding a beautiful colour tone to the image. Thanks also for the very nice note.

Have a nice weekend

Beautiful shot, Pablo....
I love the different shades of green and the scattered red barns throughout. I especially like the way the darker green trees contrast so nicely with the lighter green grass and that incredible depth. There are places in my home state of West Virginia this reminds me of and makes me homesick. You must miss this terribly. Wonderful view!! Many thanks and warmest wishes,
Shelly

Hello Pablo,
An appealing composition of this verdant landscape. The different shades of green meld well together and provide a good contrast for the pastel blue sky. I also like the little splashes of contrasting colour provided by the red barns. Very good clarity.

Hi Pablo,
that is more than a nice view as we see how the houses are spread over the valley. Good details and colours but the line of horizon in the middle is not my preferred thing. A bit less sky would do it or more for a square format.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hallo Pablo!
A wonderful view and a really inviting landscape. All here transmits calm and somehow serenity. Giving so much space to sky works very well here. Hiking there must be great!

very fine symmetry in this composition, excellent depth. But without the red barns this photo would have been a little bit dull.

Flat land is not so attractive as mountains or hills, however your mastery in composition turned out a lovely picture as well! The scattered red houses give a lively touch to this dip into green landscape and the bright light makes everything gay and just.

Hi,

Beautiful photo of the Valley of Gaula. The composition is superb and the sharpness and clarity are amazing. I can see that sometimes you have even good weather. I have heard that in e.g. Bergen on average there are 300 rainy days pro year. Is it truth? The landscape you show is fantastic. I look at it with growing interest as after some trips to the South I plan to see the North. So, in the beginning of July I go to Norway. I hope to see such wonderful views as on your photos.

Warm regards

Hello Pablo!
Although, for my own taste, I'd cut a bit of the sky, this doesn't affect the overall result you've got here: a very pleasant photograph to look at!
The green and hilly landscape with the houses spread all over, painting the scenery with warmer colors - red, for example - and white is simply very very nice!
TFS - Congratulations!

Hello Pablo,

This is an interesting series for people to enjoy. Perhaps it makes them recall their own childhoods!

You have cleverly chosen a great viewpoint where the lines of trees, frame the shot, and channel our eyes down the valley.
Lovely tones of green, bright splashes of red and all leading to the distant misty hills and unspoilt, blue sky.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Excellent Scandinavian country-side scene. I really like the green field in the foreground that gives a feeling of being there as well as works as a lead in to the farm building further away. Nice and pleasant colours. TFS and have a nice Sunday!

Hi Pablo,

Still a very beautiful sight on your landscapes of childhood. One notices here always these so typical red barns in your regions !!! Beautiful composition with this foreground which gives a marvellous depth. Very pleasant as is this photograph in WS, with a so clear water, it is not possible to miss salmon !!! Thank you Pablo.

With all my friendships and very good Sunday,

• [2008-06-22 4:50]

Hi, Pablo. A good general view of your valley. The two rows of trees on either side of the foreground force us to look towards the central part of the image. The picture also shows us how the houses are scatterde in the valley and how green the valley is. Maybe the photo would have looked better with a few clouds in the sky, but I suppose you appreciate this kind of weather since Gauldalen seems to be a very rainy place.
Have a nice Sunday,
Philippe

Olá Pablo, nice WS :D This is a lovely green view with red houses popping out in the landscape like poppies in a green field. The trees on both sides make a good entrance through the middle to the distant hills. Strangely, I find the FG with some lack of sharpness although it doesn't ruin the beauty of the image.
Have a nice week,

Hi Pablo,
Interesting symmetry here with the matching islands of trees and the triangle of red buildings. That is SOME salmon, certainly much bigger than those we caught last week. I really like the action you captured in the fly fisherman; although you may have to be a fishing enthusiast to appreciate it.

Hi Pablo,
This one is another good composition with a good setting to show the great beauty of this so green, soft and attractive valley, splashed with small farms painted with vivid colors, and that gives us a graphical result similar to a painting.
It is a good photo, nice and well made.
