Infrastructure, a photo from Sonderjylland, West

Photographer's Note

Coastal regions represent a network of human activity situated in what is a transition zone between the sea and the land. Neither wholly land or sea, this unique area shares characteristics of both. Infrastructure is often coastally situated to gain access to ships, the only alternative to movement of heavy materials in remote areas largely devoid of roads and rail. The beaten path once had been a pier belonging to Cathrinesminde tile- and brickmuseum (in the background) that is very scenically located near Broager at Flensborg Fjord in South Jutland.
In centuries gone by the area around Flensborg Fjord was well-known for its brickworks. The area had the largest concentration of such facilities in Northern Europe, about 70 in the 18th century. It was a very big brick- and tile industry then and since Denmark had colonies in the West Indies, the sailing ships often took bricks as ballast before crossing the Atlantic. Cathrinesminde was taken out of service in 1968 and the pier has been transformed into a beaten path by local fishermen.

Hello Harriet,
This is a very pleasant and interesting composition. The ambient light and natural colours are very attractive to view. The chimney in the background makes a good focal point and gives the image as we look along the grassy embankment.

Hi Harriet,
A very nice scene and interesting note about this nice little place. Looks very peaceful and deserted in contrast to what I'm sure it was like when the brick and tile works was in full productions. Excellent composition giving good depth to the shot. Nice lighting and I love the little solitary boat on the water.
Regards
Arthur.

Very good composition with natural light and colors. I think the yellow boat adds a lot.

It looks like a great place for a walk.

Hello Harriet,
This is a nice view of the path along the overgrown old pier. The yellow boat and the funny little building brighten the foreground. The light is very good and as so often the combination of strong sunshine and dark clouds produce great colours.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Harriet,
very nice composition with the yellow boat. the path in the grass leads the eye to the old factory, I suppose. Soothing view, pleasant calm atmosphere.
Warm regrads

Hello Harriet,

This type places can I almost not find, here in Flemish Belgium, quiet and pleasant for make a stroll between two lakes
You chose a very nice angle this cares for depth and perspective.
Lovely view with chimney in background, about this small house for fishing with boat with green and flowers.
Composition and presentation be superb.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John.

abmdsudi (95869) 2013-08-14 8:41

Hi Harriet
A simple compo out of nothing there with the vivid yellow serves as a strong focal adding richness into the landscape in a rather diffuse lighting. There's a good background interest too and albeit a moody day, the grey sky is a fine addition. All the elements seem to flow well here, Good effort.
Best regards

Bonsoir Harriet
Un joli petit coin de nature avec ici la coque jaune de ce bateau créant un bon contraste avec ce ciel presque menaçant.
bonne soirée
Amicalement

Royaldevon (85606) 2013-08-14 12:18

Hello Harriet,

As always, you tell us so much interesting information about the background of the subject of your photograph.
The beaten path is nicely used in your shot; it acts as a good separation line and as a guide line from f/g to the well positioned brickworks.
There is ample time to absorb and enjoy the details of the peripheral features on this journey.
Good sharpness and naturally saturated colours.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

ourania (51103) 2013-08-14 13:27

Hello Harriet,
a lovely picture and a wonderful combination of characteristics of the past and new ones that have been added in recent times. I like very much in all of your photos how you choose the foreground to give the viewer the impression that they have access to the scenery depicted. I have this fascinating feeling with this picture too. Excellent depth and sharpness support this imression effectively. The light and the colours are wonderful and inviting. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania

Hi Harriet
Un joli endroit de pleine nature entre terre et mer, le contraste du bateau jaune avec le ciel gris, attire aussi le regard, belle présentation
Belle journée

Liebe Harriet,
was für schöne Farben so ein dunkler Himmel ergibt! Als Reisender vergewissert man sich, ob man den Schirm mitgenommen hat, als Fotograf freut man sich, noch dazu, wenn ein gelbes Boot die Farbpalette so glücklich ergänzt.
Viel Grüße,
Elvira

marabu61 (11587) 2013-08-15 11:28

Hello Harriet
A charming landscape indeed here with the funny boathouse and the bright yellow boat to add a good focus point, while the eye wanders along the grassy path towards the industrial building in the back with the tall chimney.
have a great evening
Daniel

delpeoples (60342) 2013-08-16 6:02

Dear Harriet

Such a characteristic scene, as anything to do with fishing often is. I love the little fishermen's hut, the yellow tones contrast beautifully. The strip of green guides the eye into the photo and I love the reflections on the water.

Thanks for sharing, have a lovely day
Lisa

Hi Harriet,
An interesting picture with many enjoyable details and colours. I like the composition and the peaceful mood.
Kind regards

Ciao Harriet
i tuoi paesaggi sono inconfondibili e sempre pieni di poesia, quelli che riesce a trasmetterci la natura con le sue infinite varianti.
In questa hai saputo cogliere un momento magico, arricchito da un cielo che si addice al momento e che fa da bella cornice con le sue sfumature che sembrano annunciare il temporale.
Ottima, come sempre la nitidezza, la composizione e la cura del contrasto.
A te l'augurio di un buon fine settimana.
Romano

jemaflor (146258) 2013-08-16 12:07

Hi Klelia,
Nice composition with this path and this house with a yellow boat, good light capture and depth effect.

Buin (42580) 2013-08-16 23:25

Hall Harriet!
Wieder ein interessanter Betrag. In dieser Gegend scheinst Du oft unterwegs zu sein.
Der Bildaufbau gefällt mir hier ganz besonders. Der kleine Trampelpfad führt das Auge wunderbar in den Hinergrund zur ehemaligen Ziegelei. Das kleine Boot ist ein wunderscöner Farbtupfer - und diese kleine Hütte mit der Reuse ist einfach nur "knuffig" wie man hier sagt. Da würde ich jetzt gerne entlang gehen ...
Herzliche Wochenendgrüße aus dem wolkenverhangenen aber immer noch staubtrockenen Südwestfalen!
Frank

bayno (18348) 2013-08-17 12:55

Hello Harriel,
the place is nice and the structure does not disturb very nature, however is wood, that is perhaps more intrusive is the chimney stack in the background,
the image is well composed and balanced, the details are great and the colors is natural, well done...
Best regards,
Valter

Hello Harriet,
nice this coastal scenery with the yellow boat to contrast perfect with the other colours of the scene. I like the clarity as the beauty of the image with the light management to be superb.

Have a good weekend,danos

Waylim (25436) 2013-09-17 17:00

Hello Harriet,

This is a cute little corner here, full of natural beauty and rural and small town charm. Good POV that put us right on the glass path leading us into the distant landscape.

Way

ciakgiak (30) 2013-10-11 12:48

Ciao Harriet,
sempre bellissimi i tuoi paesaggi, cosě semplici, puliti e rilassanti, e con l'a chicca della barca gialla!!! Ottima!
Un caro saluto!
Giorgio

maloutim (13617) 2013-10-26 20:02

Hi Harriet,
This looks cute, with the beaten path leading to the wooden hut !
Lovely touch of colour with the yellow boat. It matches the sun ray which has come to strike the country-side in the otherwise greyish weather.
Interesting piece of history with the old factory chimney !

I wonder if the path is situated on an offshore bar like here ?

Have a good Sunday.
Marie-Louise.

Didi (61589) 2013-10-31 3:41
