November I

Scott Thomas called us for the last time this year – perhaps.

This time the assignment theme is: “November“. Read his short instructions and participate.

Scott has an extraordinary sunset with magnificent colors. That is not my kind of November. I think of  November as one of – perhaps the darkest months of the year.
Late sunrise, early sunset.
Most days are gray and rainy. At least this year.
The storms effectively rips off the last colored leaves and lets the trees stand naked until spring.
But, even the wind has to rest. Then it’s good to take a walk in the woods and to the lake.
I like when nature is in this mood.
The wind hasn’t needed a rest yet. Until then we’ll have to settle with this image from ’08.

    Carsten, you’ve captured the blue that most of us are feeling at this time of the year. I like your photo, it sets the mood well. Was this taken in the morning or this is sort of a grayish day.

  2. Carsten says:

    Thanks Nye.
    This was taken in the middle of the gray day. About an hour after noon.

    Wow…look how calm that water is! It’s like glass!

  6. Carsten says:

    Thanks kanniduba. Yes that was calm, but later today we can expect – I’ll quote the weather forecast:
    “and several places a transition up to gale with gusts of strong storm or hurricane”

    Carsten, that kind of November is familiar to me as well. Both its beauty and its terrors. That’s a fine image.

  8. Carsten says:

    Thanks for your visit Gerry. You’re always welcome ;)

    nice, dark, moody November, gray-sky shot, Carsten!

  14. Carsten says:

    I’m glad for your comment Cindy. Now I saw the color of the sky on my ‘new win 7′. Here the color is wrong. I better adjust my screen.
