Isle of Jura: Fence

Posted by Mirko Herzner (Mühlheim am Main, Germany) on 15 December 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

The patch of green behind this fence is a picnic area right in front of the hotel. It is also the islands only campsite.

Beautiful image, Mirko. What a great way of framing the seaview as well.

A rich and lush image, Mirko. The fence protecting the fence is showing signs of hard ware - a sure sign of tough weather elements off the sea. Nicely shown.

@Stephen Phillips: Yes, weather showed it's rough side when I visited the island. But I could enjoy some sun, too.

@dj.tigersprout: Hej DJ. Thanks for your nice words on most of my posts. I did finally fully arrive in my new job. Working hours are coming back to normal and that's why I can find the time to comment again. Holiday season starts next wednesday for me. Almost two weeks of sounds good. I will be on a short trip with friends. No photographic trip but all the more fun. Btw: I was in Helsinki when you travelled to Norway... Did you have lots of snow as well?

Colors are really vivid (specially the green one). Cheers.

Love the perspective and lines here. Those darker tones have a beautiful fullness to them.

hey mate -- not much snow in Norway... in Oslo there was some snow but only in parks where it hadn't melted. the city streets were wet but not icy. up in Tromso, there had been plenty of snow, and it was cold enough that it stuck -- maybe 3 feet packed down to a 3 inches where people walked on it? the sidewalks were very icy though -- black ice -- very dangerous!! i had a bad fall myself -- but over the course of 5 days, i realized that falling was just part of the game -- saw soooo many people go for a spill!! it must be normal!! :)

@dj.tigersprout: Sounds dangerous. The finish people I saw managed to stay on their feet. In Helsinki we had some 30 cm of snow... It was a great experience as in Germany it is a rare sight nowadays...
