Attersee II, a photo from Upper Austria, East

Photographer's Note

Hello friends and colleagues, today I offer another composition with another view of this beautiful Austrian lake, I hope you like it, then some letters on the lake.

Attersee, also known as Kammersee, sometimes English Lake Atter, is the largest lake in the Salzkammergut region in the Austrian state of Upper Austria. It is the third largest lake in Austria by area, surpassed only by Lake Constance and Lake Neusiedl, which, however, both extend beyond national borders.

The surface extends for about 20 km from north to south and 4 km from east to west. With an average depth of 85 m (279 feet), its water volume even exceeds the Chiemsee, which is larger by area.

The main entrance is the Seeache Brook, which flows out of the nearby Mondsee Lake in the southwest. Both Attersee and Mondsee are part of a chain of lakes, starting with Fuschlsee and Irrsee. The waters flow with the river Ager until the Traun that is discharged in the Danube in Linz.

In the south-west of the lake, the Schafberg ("mountain of sheep"), part of the Salzkammergut mountains, rises to 1,782 m, separating it from Lake Mondsee, whose southern shore limits with the state of Salzburg. The Höllengebirge karst mountain range (literally "mountains of hell"), with a height of up to 1862 m (6,109 ft), is located southeast of the lake.

Due to its constant winds and clean water quality, Attersee is famous for attracting sailors and swimmers alike. During the season there are numerous sailing competitions. One of the most cherished winds in Attersee is the so-called "Rosenwind" which means "breeze of roses". It is an east wind that crosses the rose garden of a castle and fills the air through the lake with the smell of roses. Surrounding settlements rely heavily on tourism, mainly in spring, summer and autumn.

Due to the size of the lake and despite the low temperatures during the winter, the lake rarely freezes. The last time the lake was completely covered in ice was in the late 1940s, when people saw themselves skating and riding motorcycles across the frozen thick surface of the lake.

Hola Angel,

This is such a calming scene!
The moored yachts, the calm water, the softly drifting clouds over the mountains, all beautifully composed and perfectly captured for this moody shot.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hola Angel,

A peaceful lakeside setting with th 2 yachts providing focal points and adding depth and layering to the composition. Excellent sharpness and a pleasant diffused light on a cloudy day. Tfs!

Hola Angel,
Beautiful ambiance by the cloudy sky over the lake, which by itself has a smooth water surface seems untouched by the winds overhead which notable on the photo.
The orange float and the boats added good scale to the whole.
Buenas tardes,
Ike

I like this photo very much, almost a one-color photo with minimalist composition, great atmosphere of peace and quiet, perhaps silence before the storm

Hola Angel
J'aime la brillance de l'eau, le fond brumeux couvrant une partie des montagnes, le ciel gris, les boules et les bateaux rempli l'espace du lac
Belle soirée

Hi Angel
lovely shot here, I like the atmosphere, the strong grey tones mixed with blues. and sailboats give that calm feeling as they're just sitting here casually, not minding the poor weather. excellent placement of the horizon line as well. a fine visual. cheers

Ciao Angel
una foto monocromatica con bellissime sfumature di toni freddi, la boa funziona molto bene come punto focale grazie al suo colore.
Buona domenica

Hello Angel,
A very elegant composition of an attractive scenery. The cloudy weather has created a discreet and beautiful view of mainly grey and blue tones. The two boats and four small but bright buoys provide fine focal-points.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hola amigo Angel.
Un bonito paisaje de este lago rodeado de montańas, el dia no te acompańo, el gris del cielo y la bruma, transmite la sensacion de un dia frio y desapacible, bonita grama de grises y azules.
Buena gestion de la luminosidad y una magnífica nitidez.
Muy bien hecho. Mis felicitaciones.
Todo lo mejor y que tengas un buen comienzo de semana.
Un fuerte abrazo.
Luis.
