most of that
Saturday the sky had been clear and it was only
later in the afternoon that the wind died down and the clouds started to gather. I took these first three photographs when
the sky was completely overcast: they look very different from the ones I have previously shared yet I find them beautifully nostalgic - the autumn colours appear somehow brighter against the grey sky.
autumn at the mökki IV:
Nikon FM - Fuji Pro 400H
Hasselblad 500 C/M - Fuji Pro 400H
by the time we got back to the cottage and had some delicious
potatoes backed on the open fire - the evening winds had cleared the sky once again: that evening we were able to witness
a truly breath-taking sunset. as soon as the sun went down and the sky begun to turn pink and red
Jacopo and I run out to the shore with our cameras to capture the scene:
it was spectacular! ♥
It is hard to believe but the way how u described the evening makes me even looking forward to the colder, cosier days and suddenly I don't miss summer at all. I can feel the warmth of open fire and smell of the potatoes. Just beautiful! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm glad my photographs make you long for autumn and winter days, since cold days are coming - I hope you'll enjoy them then!
DeleteThe colours of the sky in the last photo! Just perfect.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ingeborg! I know, those colours were just incredible!
DeleteI agree - love the warmth of the fall colours again the cool tones...

Thank you, dear Charlyn! Cloudy skies can be beautiful too!

ReplyDeletei'd love to taste some of that potatoes with you, surrounded by this wonderful scene. i can almost smell the firewood..
Thank you, Silvia! I wish I could have those potatoes again right now - they just do not taste the same here in the city!
DeleteWhat a sunset! Wonderful bright and grey sky colours!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sirpa! One of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever witnessed!
Deletewow, Polly! The whole environment you describe makes me long so much for similar things! It also makes me a bit sad that I won't be able to feel the cold weather and the beautiful light of Scandinavia... But we are all very lucky in our own ways to experience the particularities of our climates.
ReplyDeleteWhat I really mean is, these are wonderful! It must have been such a lovely time with Jacopo!
Also, I've been feeling like I really want to send you something by post mail, would you like to give me your postal adress? If you do, pelase drop a line to oemaildotiagoedacatarina[at]gmail[dot]com
warm hugs!
Dear Catarina, thank you so much! I am sure you'll get to experience Scandinavia some day soon - as much as I am going to experience Portugal!
DeleteI'm going to e-mail you my home address now - I'll be so happy to get a letter from you! ♥
Spectacular indeed! Nothing beats having something to run to for a photograph - the beauty, the rush nd of course, the final photograph! :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree, you just put it down into words so well! Thank you, Katie!
Deletewoah beautiful tones, like chips of copper dancing in the long grass!
