Magie, magie ... que j'aime ces arbres qu'on dit pleureur ... Douceur et volupté me font plonger dans ton univers que j'apprécie tout particulièrement.

willow trees are my favorite, and this one looks so nice over the water!
6 Nov 2009 6:19am
There is a distinct mood to this, I was going to say that I felt it was one of melancholy, but the more i think about it I reckon it's one of optimism. Great shot.
6 Nov 2009 6:36am
Wow, so beautiful. Love the fog and the tree. Makes me want to go and sit on that bench.
6 Nov 2009 6:39am
A very peaceful mood. I could use that time to wander in my thoughts.
A beaut'ful Friday to Ya.
6 Nov 2009 7:01am
The hair of the weeping willow is leaned over the river of tears, very good composition!
Nice atmospher!
6 Nov 2009 7:06am
what a great atmosphere ! i love composition with fog , so mysterious
6 Nov 2009 7:22am
Love that mist behind and that weeping tree is just fabulous in this mood, his long hair floating above the water and I just love how it mirrors and seems to brush against it. Soothing and so sweet feelings here. Have a nice friday, dear*
6 Nov 2009 7:57am
Really nice composition! This B&W is fantastic, and the reflection in the water is great too!

"Now those memories come back to haunt me / They haunt me like a curse / Is a dream a lie if it don't come true / Or is it something worse / That sends me down to the river" (Bruce Springsteen)
I will sit down & rest right here. What a beautiful & peaceful feeling. A slightly melancholic atmosphere & a stunning photograph, Sharon! Over & over again you conquer my mind, soul & eyes. A great image! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

Une image qui donne envie de s'asseoir sur ce banc, non pas pour pleurer sous ce saule pleureur mais pour méditer et profiter de cette ambiance brumeuse et feutrée...
Magnifique N&B
Bonne journée

Love the title - it's perfect for the image. A wonderful setting superbly captured.
6 Nov 2009 8:47am
Romantic. Close. Beautiful. … and with a sensation of intense cold!!!!!
Warm greetings
6 Nov 2009 8:51am
Fascinating gloomy mood here. The b&w conversion works very well with this image.
6 Nov 2009 11:14am
He must be very sad. And old and tired. Ot is he simply narcissic ? ;-)
6 Nov 2009 11:41am
Such expressive trees . . love the soulful composition to this. Heavy stuff.
6 Nov 2009 11:45am
Very beautiful. This reminds me of Burnham park in Baguio, in the mountain province, Filipinas.
6 Nov 2009 12:12pm
Una imagen envuelta de misterio. Precioso juego de reflejos y una composicion fantastica :)
Saludos
6 Nov 2009 1:00pm
fantastic shot for a fairly atmosphere very very nice well done
6 Nov 2009 1:05pm
Are you staying in Vancouver? I have been living in that city for a year, I love it and miss it:)
Compliments for your photo, it is a sad and beautiful shot. I always like what you're doing.
6 Nov 2009 1:27pm
@Juniverses: Thank you. Yes, I live here, I've always lived here, and as much as I do love it, it would be nice to live in Europe for awhile. sigh.
Great softness. Love the perspective and your camera position. The background trees are great.
6 Nov 2009 1:46pm
Beautiful weeping tree, and atmosphere. Thanks for your comment on my blog, I'll come to you, when Iwill have more time !
6 Nov 2009 1:55pm
A great misty mood and i love this lovely tree who is mirrored in the water...
6 Nov 2009 2:07pm
Wonderful image Sharon, love everything about this ....
6 Nov 2009 2:22pm
What a tranquil scene. Absolutely beautiful place and capture so well.
6 Nov 2009 2:32pm
Magical dreamy image, the only criticism is the position of the watermark. It looks like a painted on advert on the embankment.
6 Nov 2009 2:56pm
Nicely composed. I like the overall limited tonal range to define the dreary day and thus the dreary mood.
6 Nov 2009 3:30pm
Oh my. I just don't know where to begin with this one. The compo? Perfect. The scene of the bench and the drooping tree kissing the water? Sublime. The reflection and fog? Mysterious. This is like a b&w copy of an impressionist painter's masterpiece. 5 star work!
6 Nov 2009 3:37pm
i love this. it's interesting the way the branches stop just shot of the water - like a shaggy headed boy has gotten a quick and severe trim.
6 Nov 2009 3:41pm
extraordinary capture
lovely and dreamy place
i really like this shot...
6 Nov 2009 3:48pm
I really like how the reflection tries to impose on me but is only allowed a small part. The subtle tones are neatly done too! As usual you astound!
6 Nov 2009 3:56pm
Very beautiful romantic place! I love the atmosphere so mysterious with the fog! Great capture!!!
6 Nov 2009 4:25pm
peaceful and quietful ... Nice atmosphere, nice shot !
6 Nov 2009 4:27pm
oh glory of glories!!! enuff said -- 5 stars for this mystical solace -- gorgeous!!!!
6 Nov 2009 4:43pm
Prachtvoll herbstliches Foto, melancholisch und bestens umgesetzt in b/w.
6 Nov 2009 4:50pm
What a nice tree in this fog. A very good composition.
6 Nov 2009 5:20pm
A serene tree meeting the global serenity of the place.
6 Nov 2009 5:30pm
What a brilliant picture Sharon...and the title gives it all the meaning!! Awesome!!!
6 Nov 2009 5:45pm
Excelente B&W. Una toma muy adecuada para el monocromo. Me gusta la composición con el árbol y el banco en primer término. Se respira paz, silencio y tranquilidad...
Gracias por tus visitas.
Saludos.
6 Nov 2009 5:50pm
This could bring tears to my eyes. First is my love of the weeping willow...(it has childhood connections) and then the fog...another love of mine. Just wonderful. Could you inspire me more?
6 Nov 2009 5:52pm
i love this simply because of the moody foggy tones and the tranquility!
6 Nov 2009 6:18pm
I am speechless at such a masterpiece sharon!
absolutely fabulous, a very romantic picture I found!
thousand stars!
kisses!
6 Nov 2009 7:22pm

Wow... what a unique image, somewhat melancholic with the empty bench. Superb processing.
6 Nov 2009 10:15pm
I love the atmosphere in this beautiful image. Elegant.
7 Nov 2009 12:59am
5 stars on this image! Incredible light and reflections and fog!
7 Nov 2009 5:45am
WOW!!! This is amazing. I love the mood it has. Great light and reflections. The composition is beautiful. Well done
7 Nov 2009 7:03am
i love scenes like this... dark and foggy and mysterious.
7 Nov 2009 3:02pm
I think someone came by earlier and trimmed those branches over the water! :) Great B&W!
7 Nov 2009 4:48pm
cold and soft.... really nice framing and light....
keep on watching ;)

a typical autumn picture - the tree in fact bows down to the water surface to signal that the fourth season is knocking on the door of the nature
7 Nov 2009 9:34pm
One of my favorite this week!! The angle of view is superb. Gentleness and peace are very well represented.
All these comments are well deserved!
Congrats!
7 Nov 2009 9:48pm
This is so incredible! I would love to sit there with my ipod and get lost in the music and moment!
8 Nov 2009 12:11am
the serenity of this scene is very well felt.. :) excellent shot! :D
8 Nov 2009 1:24am
no uproar but serenity only! be with you there, dear!
8 Nov 2009 2:00am
I love this - weeping willows are my absolute favorite tree and combined with the fog and the water = perfection. I couldn't agree more with the quote, too.
8 Nov 2009 7:09am
Excellent image, stunning B&W and very good lighting.
Greetings
8 Nov 2009 9:22am
Fantastique!! Il pleure de la poésie...
Bonne soirée.
8 Nov 2009 7:15pm
belle atmosphère un peu mystérieuse dans cette image, c'est beau.
8 Nov 2009 8:41pm
Wonderful mood. I especialy appreciate it due to the tree. My grand father plant one like that the day of my birth.
8 Nov 2009 10:35pm
I love the misty mood, the composition and the feeling of melancholy; superb !
9 Nov 2009 10:10am
I love this weeping tree in that moody atmosphere. Sadness, melancholy but maybe loneliness above all with this empty bench in front of the fog. A deep beautiful shot.
10 Nov 2009 6:06pm
A shot masterfully turned into an artistic piece of art!
13 Nov 2009 10:12am
cette photo donne une atmosphère mystérieuse.
Joli noir et blanc
Bonne soirée.
13 Nov 2009 6:25pm
Magical, fantastical, beautiful. Love this. The reflection is gorgeous. Great work as usual.
14 Nov 2009 8:56pm
Yes, beautiful! Wonderful capture and processing.
17 Nov 2009 12:16am
Beautiful... Everything's just in the right place, and the tones are perfect.
17 Nov 2009 12:01pm
This capature is very well introduced by the previous, seems to be taken at the same placem with the same blue, but here, it's not abstract, but true poetry... Congrat, I love it a lot!
17 Nov 2009 12:12pm
beautiful! that tree is holding the memory of a hundred years of lovers meeting for a kiss.
17 Nov 2009 6:37pm
Utterly enchanting with a touch of sadness. Five stars
4 Dec 2009 4:59am
