Intermezzo #3

Posted by
Franz (Baden, Austria) on 3 February 2017 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

a short break from my trip to Northern Italy

The January of 2017 has been the coldest January in the last 30 years here in Austria, and the third coldest since the start of recording temperatures. There is still not an awful lot of snow around, but nights can get quite cold and daytime temperatures seldom rise to above 0° centigrade.
No wonder therefore that ice started to form on the nearby creek and on the canal, with often very attractive results. In addition, the overcast sky, together with the rising or setting sun, made for enchanting winter hues, too.

thank you for your visits, comments and advice! they're very much appreciated!

beautifully crisp and cold with lovely tints, though the plume from the chimney adds a somewhat disturbing element to the scene

@grouser: Cheers, Grouser! The 'smoke' is from a district heating plant that supplies a large section of the nearby town with heat and hot water. A necessary thing, though perhaps not a beautiful one ...

The whole scene provides a palpable wintry chill and I love this subtle sky tone in the mix.

A beautiful view with a stunnig sky. I like this chimney, this helps the composition, ... and reading which is its usefulness I like more.

Great combination of frosty detail and warm tones in the sky. I also like the contrasty look of this scene. Fantastic work Franz.
