This is the church in the parish of Oppdal, located high in the hillside and overlooking the village and surroundings.

What we see here is autumn meeting winter in low light last Friday, the weather forecast for the week-end was snow over 1000 m, and the snow line shows clearly in the image. This is of course the first snow of the season, freshly fallen the night before and according to tradition it will most likely disappear…

Tourism is the most important business in Oppdal and in particular during wintertime, and behind the church we can see one of the numerous lifts taking tourists to the summits around the village.

Many visitors to Oppdal have their own cabin or apartment in the area, while the ordinary tourists stay in one of the many hotels and pension houses.

The image in workshop 1 shows one of the cabin villages, and the image in workshop 2 takes a closer look at one of the cabins in this village (60/187).

Hello Pablo,
The combination of autumn with winter is superb with the fantastic colors. An excellent composition,
Best regards,
Tulay

Hi Pablo,

I like always very much the combination of fall colours with the white snow. Also here in the Southern Alps we had last weekend the first snow down to 1200 m.
Your compostion with the lonly church surrounded by the colourful landscape is very appealing; thanks for sharing.
PS: Also the ws shots are very interesting.

Have a nice evening

Merci pour le partage et bonne fin de journée.

Hallo Pablo!
Here you show us what's coming...
I like the atmosphere in your photo which really transmits the feeling of cold, of humidity, of autumn very well. The little church is a wonderful eyecatcher here and it gives something like cosiness in this beautiful but uncomfortable scenery.
Greetings from autumnal grey and humid Germany!

Hi Pablo,

You captured a beautiful mix of Autumn and Winter. I see that snow (and cold!) comes early to that part of the world. How different from our South!... I still use Summer clothes and the first Autumn rains only showed up last Tuesday (we had some rain before, but it didn't feel like Autumn yet because it isn't so rare to have rain in August and September).

Somehow the white of the snow combines neatly with the white walls of the church (or is it a home?) and makes a nice contrast with the Autumn colours of the trees making them stand out even more.

I like very much both the WS's, not only for complementing the view, but because they are great photos that deserved being main posts. On the #1 I like much the graphics made by the tree patches and the snow. On the #2, I like the graphics and those charming grassed roofs, which I believe that besides being beautiful, are also effective keeping the cold out of the houses.

Regards, José.

Wow! This charming little wooden church really stands out brilliantly surrounded by the striking autumn colors.
The snow capped mountain top testifies how close we are to the change in season when soon all this brilliant color will be a memory.

Hi Pablo,
strong contrast of temperature in that white and coloured ground view. The church is well placed and I like the autumn colours of the leaves together with this snow impression.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

This is a beautiful capture of this autumn scenery. Good POV, and composition. I like those warm colours against the powder of the snow a lot. Well done.

Hi Pablo. Splendid view. It is very early that winter is coming. It is nice to have long days in summer, almost without night, but it means now you have short days. Difficult time,I suppose. I like the delicate colours and simple but beautiful church in the middle.

Warm regards

Malgorzata

This cabin in Oppdal is quite impressive. I do not remember if I was in Oppdal or not. It looks somehow familiar to me.

Hi dear Pablo
Very good contrast between the autumn and winter areas... We are in Autumn but you already have snow in Oppdal.
I like snow landscapes and this atmosphere. Excellent POV and fantastic colours
Have a nice day
Aires

Olá Pablo, excellent presentation of the place with a good choice of the 3 pictures. Good isolation of the church surrounded by autumn trees while the top of the tower is already visiting winter. I find very interesting this transition of two seasons in one picture. It seems that vegetation on the roof is common in Norway - the WS2 shows a charming cabin village.
greetings,
ricardo

Hello Pablo,
It seems that winter has already come to Norway ! Fortunately, this is not the case of Romania....
Excellent compo, I like the surprising mixture of autumn and winter, of red/yellow/rusty trees and snow on the mountains. The white church is a very welcome element of contrast and a focal point of the photo...

Hello Pablo,

The first snow above the 1000 m, this is the onset for the new winter.
Lovely how you here the church show between the beautiful autumn colours of the trees.
Pablo, this is real a wonderful picture, my compliments.
Very well done, TFS.

Pablo HI;
Wonderfully well seen and impressively present. The colors of beautiful Autumn and even more striking against the overnight snow line.
Marvelous notes, as always and thanks fot the WS's
Congratulations, very nicely composed, my friend

Hi Pablo,

The point of view leads our eyes toward the church and the mountain covered with snow in the background. The possibility of seein two sides of the church is an asset to the composition. The trees with the fall colors are framing well the building. Even with the cloudy sky, the light brings out the colors. Have a nice day.

Pierre

Bonjour Pablo
c'est sérieux l'automne dans ce coin de pays, les arbres ont encore leurs feuilles toutes en couleurs et en arrière plan la neige au sommet de la montagne, bravo. la phot oreflète bien la climat de l'endroit.

Dear Pablo,
Picturesque mood with a superb composition. You placed the church in the composition very well, the huge mountain becomes higher protectively above it. The details very beautiful, the soft lights add a lot to the mood. Calm and romantic mood. Congratulations. Have a nice day, my friend!

Very nice little church with a high spire, and a nice mix of color, with the Autumn colors of the lower part, and the snow covering the hill. As if the church was protecting the village from the Winter.

Hi Pablo,

Beautiful contruction of the image here, I like much the balance of the landscape. the title of the image summarizes the image well. Contrasts of the autumnal colors and the tops snow-covered are very pleasant. The church arises well on this environment. Well seen Pablo, cheer and thank you for the complementary photograph.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,

Jean-Charles

Hi, Pablo. The snow on the tops offers a nice source of contrast with the autumn colours in the valley. The white church stands out well against its natural environment. The trees are really beautiful and frame the church very well.
I wish you a nice weekend,
Philippe

Bonjour Pablo.
Le titre de la photo est bien trouvé pour cette rencontre de la neige et des arbres aux tons d'automne. L'église bien plantée semble vouloir lier les deux saisons.
Belle photo !
Jacques

Hey Pablo
Autumn and winter in one day, I don't think I have seen that combination, actually end of October in Austria we did but that was very late October and the colours were not as wild as this. The church really stands out here in this scene and the red tree is particularly appealing. I just hope that Autumn has not finished before it really has started in Norway.
Regards from a rainy Southern Hemisphere,
Jim

Hi Pablo!
Lovely POV on this elegant little church lost between winter and autumn! The white of the church recalls the white snow very well, and the bright autumn trees give a nice touch of colour.
I like the WS too, especially the cottage with grass gowing on the roof! I wonder if the roofs need mowing sometimes? 0:))
Have a nice weekend.
It is going to be bright here in the western tip of Brittany, but the autumn colours haven't really started yet. We often don't get them very bright, because of the weather: never very cold, never very hot. We hardly know what snow is nowadays.
Cheers.
MarieLouise.

Bonjour, mon ami Pablo,
L'été s'en est allé et l'automne a pris sa place pour nous offrir de magnifiques couleurs. Je suis surpris de voir déjà du givre couvrant la montagne (l'hiver doit garder sa place) !
Une très belle réalisation comme à l'accoutumée.
Merci pour les publications annexes.

hi Pablo

The lack of strong light does not hamper your nice capture of the cloudy sky and colorful feature of the house and trees on the slope of this mountain covered at the top with snow. Perhaps contrast level is low, especially where the spire is against the backdrop.

But I like the scenic view of this capture and showing such a good location of the church looking over the valley below.

Interesting title and showing it on the photo. tfs

It's very beautiful - the uncertain snow over the hill - as if shy to come so early. We also had it last week over the top of our Vitosha mountain, though we have not that colors on the trees still.

The inclusion ot the church makes it very artistic.

Greetings and have a nice week!

This is a fine shot with wonderful autumn colors which are starkly contrasted by the snow covered mountain in the background. The lighting and colors are great here with nice sharpness and DOF. The off center placement of the church is great helping to give the shot a sense of depth and direction.

Hi Pablo,
I find another photo I missed with my lack of attention to TE. The church really makes a great focal point, surrounded by fall color. And on the mountain, winter creeps down to take its season. Looks like your countryman got out beforwe the salmon fisheries in Alaska lost their markets to farmed fish.
HLJ, Pat

Hej Pablo,
Great composition. One can wonder if the church is organising after ski activities. You just use the lift and ski right into he church. Fine autumn colours and I like the stone wall around the church.
Hälsningar från en fredags trött,
/Stefan
