Riverine landscape, a photo from Schleswig-Holstein, West

Photographer's Note

Rivers are a unique feature in the geography of the earth. They provide dry inland areas with much needed fresh water and allow climates of every type to support life. Streams and rivers have always been important to man, basically for extraction of water for drinking and for irrigation. Drainage systems are often used for transport where the conditions for road building are difficult. In my region manipulation of the drainage systems and watercourses has been going on since the early Viking age, first for transportation and fishery, later for construction of water mills. In the 18th century works were carried out to facilitate meadow irrigation. At the beginning of the 19th century the main issue was the draining of wetlands and fields. Thus there has been a long tradition for manipulating the drainage systems, but also quite recently a consciousness of conserving the beauty of the landscape and of rare species and their habitats.
The photo shows the river Füsinger Au near Schleswig that flows into a larger body of water, the Schlei.

Hello Harriet,
The countryside has taken on its green spring mantle, and you have seized the opportunity to make a beautiful picture of this peaceful nature. The river takes us deep into the image and the calmness of the water lends a restful, quaint ambiance. The reflections add charm to this lovely shot.
Kind regards,

Hi Harriet
This looks tranquil! It's wise decision to have emphasized much of beautiful river and extending the depth into the far end. The mirror reflections, bright colours and detail really catch our attention and hold the focus in boosting the overall effect. The beautiful cloudscape indeed is hard to ignore complementing the whole shot remarkably, and as usual your fine exposure is seamless. Great shot, Congrats
Best regards

Royaldevon (85674) 2015-06-05 0:59

Hello Harriet,

This is such a tranquil scene; the sort of scene, in spring, when you just stand and stare and are aware of the beauty that is around you.
The river is an irresistible lead whilst the reflections are superb.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello dear Harriet,

In this image you present a veritable Constable-like landscape lush grass, variegated greens, clouds saturated with water vapor, and all accompanied by a pedagogically useful note. If you get a chance take a look at the photo I posted from Lübeck.

Warmest regards,

Bulent
