Photographer's Note
Hi TE friends
During my trip between Geneva and Lausanne, I stoped to take a coffee in Rolle. The weather is not the best, cold, rain... and I found a cafe of portuguese people.
After that, I felt myself more confortable and decided to take pictures close the Rolle Castle. In the picture, we can see a small island and many birds in the water
I hope you like it !
Rolle is a municipality in the Canton of Vaud in Switzerland. It is the seat of the district of the same name, and is located on the northwestern shore of Lake Geneva (Lac Léman) between Nyon and Lausanne. Rolle is approximately 30 kilometres (19 mi) northeast of Geneva (Genève) in the La Côte wine-growing region, and commands spectacular views of the high Alps.
It is also the location for the main campus of Institut Le Rosey, one of the most prestigious boarding schools in the world. Notable former residents of Rolle, and alumni of Le Rosey, include: Aga Khan IV, King Albert II of Belgium, King Baudouin I of Belgium, King Fuad II of Egypt, King Ntare V of Burundi, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavī, and Prince Rainier III of Monaco. Rolle is also the birthplace of Frédéric-César de la Harpe (1754-1838), who was the tutor of Alexander I of Russia and was largely responsible for the independence of the Canton of Vaud from the Bernese

Dobar dan iz Srbije.
Lepo za samoocu ...
Dobra kompozicija drame pred promenom vremena, dobra dominirajuca boja koja docarava trenutak snimka.
Pozdrav Paja.

Bonjour, cher Aires,
Ce petit îlot au milieu du lac est d'une grande beauté avec ce ciel sombre. Il émane de cette composition une certaine magie.
J'aime beaucoup.
Amitiés.

Hello dear Aires!
I've taken a stroll through your recent images, and I really like just about all of them! You are on a roll these days ;)
This image: I adore the chilly, gloomy, mysterious, and somewhat forbidding feel it has. Your composition, the blue hues, and the weather all contribute to this effect. I absolutely dig the scary little island - looks like a perfect spot to shoot a grim scene in a suspense movie :) I am also fascinated by the sky. It appears somewhat surreal, especially the cloud formations that are closest to us. Perhaps that was just the conditions, but I like it.
My only criticism is that the horizon line appears a little canted to the right. It's not a big enough deal to detract from the photo, but I notice it because I have the tendency to tilt mine. Ever since I saw myself doing that, if I like a particular scene I always take several shots of it, slightly leaning my camera a little left or right just in case what I think it straight really isn't!
I'll come back and enjoy your other recent images soon. My compliments and thanks so much for sharing this!!
Warm Regards,
Rachel
