Abbay d'Hauterive Photo

Photographer’s Note

Abbay d'Hauterive near Fribourg. Here you could see the buildings at the entrance with a stairway to the park, in the WS you could see the main building

partly from www.abbaye-hauterive.ch:
Unser Kloster gehört zum Orden der Zisterzienser-Mönche. 7 km von Freiburg (Schweiz) entfernt, liegt es in einer Saaneschlaufe. Seine typisch zisterziensische Lage zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass Gewässer, Vegetation und Gesteins-Formationen sich zu einem harmonischen Gesamtbild vereinen.
Der Name 'Hauterive' (auf lateinisch Alta ripa, "Hohes Ufer") kommt von den nahe gelegenen, hohen Sandsteinfelsen, die das rechtsseitige Ufer der Saane bilden.
An diesem privilegierten Ort führt eine Gemeinschaft von ca. 20 Mönchen ein einfaches Leben nach der Regel des heiligen Benedikt von Nursia (6. Jh.). Die drei Hautpfeiler des täglichen Lebens in Hauterive sind Gebet, Arbeit und brüderliches Leben.

Notre abbaye appartient à l'Ordre de Cîteaux (Commune observance). Elle est située à 7 km de Fribourg (Suisse). Installée sur un méandre de la Sarine, elle occupe un site enchanteur typiquement cistercien où la nature réalise une heureuse harmonie entre l'eau, la végétation et la pierre. Elle tire d'ailleurs son nom (alta ripa en latin, "haute rive") de la présence d'une imposante falaise taillée par les eaux et qui ferme comme une barrière infranchissable le site en direction du sud.
C'est en ce lieu privilégié que la communauté des moines mène une vie simple et paisible structurée par la Règle de saint Benoît dont les trois piliers principaux sont : la prière, le travail et la vie fraternelle.

Hello Achim,

This seems to be Cow Paradise, as the animal can enjoy all that greenery for herself..!
I like the lines in the composition, it is dynamic...
Fine details in the typical architecture!

Greetings,

Hallo Achim,
ich muss Pablo zustimmen, obwohl, so allein die Kuh? Der gute Blickwinkel mit der Klarheit und den gedämpften Farben lassen das Blid wirken, trotz dieses Grau in Graus oben. Die Stimmung ist noch kühl ohne Blätter an den Bäumen.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hallo Achim,

sehr schöne und klarstrukturierte Aufnahme dieses Klosters, tolle Schärfe und sehr natürliche Farben... ein schönes Bild, auch wenn der Himmel aus der Reihe tanzt..

Hello Achim,
A good capture of this abbey and its bucolic surroundings. I like the diagonal perspective and the presence of the cow. Very good colours and clarity.

Bonjour, cher ami Achim,
Très belle et très bonne présentation de cette abbaye, je remarque la présence de toits formant une protection d'un chemin menant à l'édifice religieux (je me trompe peut-être quant à la couverture ?).
Lieu de prières et de confraternité, un site qui impose la sérénité.
Merci, Achim, pour ce partage au sein de TE.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Achim,

The point of view is showing the deatils and colors of the architecture of the Abbay d'Hauterive. the cow in the foreground has an effect of scale. The picture is clear and sharp. The colors are enhanced by the quality of the light. Have a nice day.

Hi Achim,
tolles Bild! Die Kuh ist wirklich klasse, ohne sie wäre es nicht halb so gut! Super POV und Schärfe. Ich bin ja imemr sehr dafür mehr Bilder von Kühen ins Netz zu stellen, dass die Leute sehen, dass unsere Kühe in Europa nicht lila sind ;-) Schönes Bild, gute Arbeit!

Beste Grüße
Mark

- Superb and impressive building, maybe more impressive in workshop but this side seems more severe than the original where the cow softens the landscape a bit, anyway, bravo it's successful!
Greetings.

Hello Achim
You've presented well this peaceful place with its pleasant abbey, and the stairway creating a diagonal. The cow in the middle of the grass is a nice detail to look!

Hi Achim, A beautifully composed photo with a lovely rural feel, the architecture is superb & very interesting, nice soft light & the cow looks very lonely & needing a friend, however it adds some great scale, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Hallo Achim,
gute Perspektive für das Kloster.
Ich mag die grüne Wiese im Kontrast zu den eher blassen Farben des Klosters bzw. des Himmels.
Die verloren wirkende Kuh fand die Wiese wohl ebenfalss sehr appetitlich.
Beste Grüsse aus dem Donautal
Helmut

Bonjour Achim.
La composition de la photo est remarquable et l'animal est bien placé. Une diagonale coupe les cadre et donne une impression d'équilibre.

Quite a diferent environment from the imponent WS. The buildings seen here are actually more interesting. I like specially the roof of the one in the back. Funny inclusion of the cow here. Well presented place.
Best wishes,
ricardo

Hi John,

very well chosen pov. The cloudy day was not a problem, actually I like the luminosity overall. No strong contrast and superb details. The cow is a nice focal point to start the image reading. Well done!
Regards,
Carlos

Hi Achim, great view of beautiful architecture, wonderful composition with cow, very well done, ciao Silvio

Jakab (3480) 2008-10-09 3:37

Hallo Achim,
das Kloster wirkt schlicht, bescheiden und eben deshalb harmonisch und schön. (Eigentlich keine Wunder im Fall eines Klosters.) Die mäßige Belichtung und die Farben passen hervorragend zu Thema. Die fleckige Kuh im Gras macht die Stimmung ganz freundlich.
Viele Grüße
Laszlo

Ji Acim,
beautiful place. Great architecture in a great alpine setting.
The cow and barren fruittrees form a great decor.
Regards, Gerrit

Stepan (27175) 2008-10-09 12:08

Lovely and cute. Looks like a fairy tale architecture and place (with the cow) and it's a funny compo. Just regret the grey sky. Whatever a good post.

Hi Achim,

A splendid place of retreat this abbey… Very beautiful architecture nicely development in this natural environment. In spite of gray time, I like much the harmony of the colors. Thank you for the complementary photograph. The cow seems to feel only in its fields !!!

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Hallo Achim
J'y vois une mixture fort attrayante d'une scène pastorale rehaussée d'un bel exemple de l'architecture historique Allemande.
Cette vue en contre-plongée donne un air de majesté aux "châteaux".
Une bouffée d'air frais et une ambiance de détente bien évidente.
Grusse.
Robert
