Far away winter

I don't usually name my photographs but this one earned itself some special attention. It is more than seven years since I started to send, on the first day of each month, one picture along my new months wishes, to an e-mail list of friends. That is almost 90 pictures until today, when I sent the above one. And it was a blast! More replies and very enthusiastic ones than any other! Which came as a surprise to me. I can see it's a nice pictures but is it so much better than my usual stuff? I don't know, maybe it is just because it is pretty different than the ones I usually send. Or because it is really good, you tell me :)

Anyway since it got so much attention, I figured that it deserves a title, like all the art works! And it also deserves a godmother to perform the naming. The funny thing is that she doesn't know it yet and she hasn't seen the picture either, but she will soon enough!

Please applaud @mipiano for her inspiring comment in my yesterday's post, responsible for the title of this post and this picture: Far away winter!


Which bring us to the second fun fact of the post and the proof that photographers are terrible liars :)

In yesterday's post I was telling you how much the weather looks like spring and that we haven't felt the touch of winter at all. I had my pictures to back up my words and you had no reason to doubt me. Today I am showing you some other pictures from that same walk that prove me wrong. Pictures that demonstrate a fiercely and cold winter.

Where lies the truth?

Do I play with words, as well as with editing, or the reality is as objective as the push of a curve button?

I would say the second. I was experiencing a lovely day but when I talked to some other people, I realised that some of them felt that it was a cold and bitter day! So I would say that I wasn't lying in either of the posts, no matter how contradictory they are. I just presented one reality through two different mindsets.

Some people saw the gloomy dark day that I illustrated today, some others saw a brilliant, spring day instead. All of them are real, all of them are right. Because when our mind believes something as true, then it is true, no matter what!

I read one more time what I have written and I really hope that it makes sense to you. Anyway I almost forgot:

Happy February guys and may everything turn out as good, as they possibly could!

The camera that I used is a Canon EOS 850D with an EF-S 18-135mm lens attached. I edited the photographs in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic .

All the pictures and the words are mine.

Thank you for reading and if you want to know more about me you can check out my introduction post.

Aw, it is an honour to be the godmother of that sublime far away winter scene, captured with mastery, and your today's post 😃

One reality - many different angles to look at it - no liars here ;)

Thanks a lot :)

:) It's all a matter of perspective! Isn't that interesting and so well illustrated here.

So I guess the "truth" would be it's all of the above and both of the above. But what you focus on tends to be the majority of the experience.

I have tons more to say, on this point, of course! :D But I'll save it for that part of the experience when I write it and reference your post to illustrate the concept.

Lekker, post!

Thanks a lot!

Looking forward to see what you have in ming :)
