I liked the minimal colour, and the overall bleakness.

Wow - those are proper snowy landscapes Dennis. I especially like the one with the cable car and people in it as they provide a great sense of scale.

Amazing scenery Mark - perfect stitching by the look of it. A great feature in the Sony cameras.

I assume you were busy making wedding plans?

[mvanrheenen]

Thanks Andy.

We went to Spain to prepair for our wedding. Wasn't much of a holiday for me

Hmm, congratulations are in order then, Mark and the Lucky Lady!

Funny that I always assumed you to be already married, Mark. : )

I have no intention of prying but if this village is where you'll reside when in wedlock, I think it provides some excellent nature and residents from the look of it.

The town's buildings are so uniformly in white and scattered at the skirts and up the hills that one can liken it to a bride's dress spilling over the green hills. ( well, if one forces one's imagination of course! )

It does look like a place right for summer weddings indeed though. A wedding parade/pageant on those narrow streets and a photo shoot with that backdrop would charm any wedding-palnning couple. : )


Be happy and age nicely together and may luck be on your side. : ))

Marcell, Barry, Mike, Andy and Dennis, nice panoramas.
Mark,
The original size is very impressive. Congratulations for your marital bliss.

With best regards,

Yildiz,

I can understand your thought about me already being married. I mostly refer to my wife-to-be as "the missus" because it reflects her dominance in our household pretty nicely (with a big wink off course ).

We fell in love with this little village after our first visit there in 2008. It's the only place we have been to multiple times (5 times now) and will keep coming to. When we talked about the marriage and how we wanted the day to be, we couldn't picture ourselves any other place then there, although we both are Dutch, born and raised. So after some carefull planning we went there last week to get some things sorted out, booked the place we want to use and where our guests could stay. I brought my camera mostly to get some nice images of the environment and the place they would be staying to tease our guests a bit in advance The panorama above will prbably make the cut or maybe even be part of the invitation, after some editting.

The town itself has about 1500 residence, a lot of which are actually foreigners who live out their lives their after retirement. It's a busy tourist attraction in summer, because of it's white houses and narrow streets tiled by mosaics, which give a real artistic look. When you walk there, it almost feels like you are walking in a painting. Very restfull atmosphere (once the hordes of tourists are gone).

Back on topic: very peaceful looking place Kevin, very high quality stitch!

Thank you guys. That's Washington State's Ruby Beach, now part of Olympic National Park. This view isn't usually possible at the beach, especially during the winter when a creek swollen with constant rain blocks access to the northern stacks. On this day, there was an exceptionally low tide (two feet lower than average) which coincided with sunset. Not a bad way to put the A77 and my waterproof boots to work!
