Visions and Nature The same but different

The same but different
When you organize workshops in your own region you visit certain locations a lot,
as the so-called Rossignolet waterfall nearby the town of Mont Dore.
Each time the view and the atmosphere are different there, a reason why
visiting photo locations in all types of seasons and weather conditions is a must.
This week I introduced this waterfall to my partner and a friend of ours. They both loved
the ‘intimacy’ of the area. What is nice about the Rossignolet waterfall are the little rocks in the wall. The water rolls over the rocks downhill and, depending on the season and the amount of water, the vision you have of the place varies in a vast variety of details.
Winter scenery in Spring

Snow and Frost
May 24, 2013
Just back home from a three-day Photo Tour I organized in the Auvergne for two Americans. One of the photo subjects was Col de la Croix St Robert in the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Nature Park. Due to the weather conditions we unfortunately had to skip the sunrise session. Instead we got lots of snow, fog and frosty trees later on in the morning. Not quite what they (and me) expected during this Spring Photo Tour in the Auvergne.
We were immediately hooked to a little area with birch trees and bushes.
At one moment the sky opened up for a while and in the last image you can see the seasonal contrast. A winter scenery in the front with in the background the Spring greens in the fields.

Fresh greens
by Kristel Schneider
Finally I had some time to walk in the forest again. The trees are full with different tints of greens and the leaves are changing very fast now.
By driving up into the mountains (Monts du Forez) I sill could find some very young leaves. Some buds from the nut trees are still closes.
The greens make a nice color pattern in the chaos from the branches.
Normally I prefer a day with overcast weather, to get more color contrast.
The end of the day was still sunny so I looked for places with shades and try to use the sunlight in a way that is was not ‘too’ harsh.

I just found out that my image: Autumn wind -Auvergne Toscany, has been selected as ‘Image Of the Week’ at Naturescapes.Net (a photography forum) in the category, Travel and Culture.
Autumn wind -Auvergne Toscany
Late afternoon – early evening, sun going down, wind blowing in the valley.
Castle of Montmorin near Billom | Auvergne | France
Some feedback :
– Very nice and serene.
– Stunning view Kristel — lovely foreground, with the idyllic castle on the hill in the background! I would be tempted to give midtone contrast a little nudge. A terrific scene!
– Wonderful photo Kristel! and a fantastic and well deserved IOW!!!
