Today, again I'm short on time, so I shall feature yet another, 'Pic-4-the-Day,' this time from Rainbow11's Flickr page. Since she just left me a comment on the first piece that I did on her work, and since I love both her work and Germany, well, it was an easy choice to for me to make.
Seen above is a most beautiful picture, one that she simply titles, "In the Morning Light," but I call a "Sheer Delight," as it seems that just about everything in this picture is delightful - the color, lighting, composition, you name it... "Es ist sehr wunderbar!" Absolutely perfect!
I love the way 'the morning light' pierces the misty-like fog, highlighting the buildings, set as they are, in such idyllic splendor, in a dreamlike boarder setting! Ah, such splendor sends one's spirit soaring as high as the bird in the gorgeous picture seen below titled, "Nightshade."
This photo is a masterful piece of composition and balance. This photo has nothing to dislike and everything to like - the color, the bird framed by the trees and the moon crowning it all off like a jewel in the night!
The third and last photo could have easily been the first. This bright and cheerful photo, "Autumn Morning," with its magnificent backdrop of the mighty German Alps and its lush surroundings, tinted with the misty and dreamlike fog, makes for a photo that just makes me want to be there, to bask in all the glory of the countryside! Who too wouldn't want to enjoy such peaceful, idyllic settings as seen below?
I really love doing these 'Pics-4-the-Day,' features, not just because they help me keep my promise to post, at least, one post, per weekday, but because the beauty presented by great photographers such as Rainbow11, Eric Karr and all of the other fine photographers, is that each and everyone of them inspires me in one way or the other.
They also help me to realize just how wonderful, how precious and unique is this blue planet - the Earth, our home and sanctuary, and it makes me want to treasure and preserve it all the more!
Thanks Rainbow11 for the honor of highlighting just some of your amazing work! Vielen Dank, meine schon Deutscherin!

"In the Morning Light" is beautiful. What is it about fog that makes for such awesome photos?
Thanks Tom for your comment. I'm not sure why fog can make a photo so beautiful, but it does for some reason?
Fog seems to bring a type of mystery to things as it both hides and reveals certain parts, sparking naturally, our curiosity and peeking our interests.
Coming from a small sea side city of 100,000 people I know fog well. Especially beautiful are walking during foggy nights, as the overhead streetlights would shine through the trees and cast shadows making the whole area surreal! Things that are near seem faraway, shapes are distorted and it is, for me anyway, very beautiful!
Wow! I love the Morning Light photo. Has a comforting, mellow feeling about the photo. Someplace I'd love to call home. Great job!!
Thanks for the comment Sammie. Yes, as Tom said it is very beautiful!
It was an easy choice for me to make.
