The Day the City Vanished in the Powerful Mists

Hi Em, I am getting red-faced with all your compliments, thank you a lot. Often, you can make ordinary places look beautiful by selecting appropriate angles and compositions. But Switzerland and the Balkans do have their share of particular scenic places. So does Australia. And I have a few Aussies, that regularly enjoy my albums. Check by my webshots homepage and view the 'Lake Lucerne', 'St. Petersburg, Russia' or the 'Monit Sibillini, Italy' albums. I am sure you will like them. Unfortunately, I am currently very busy and have little time. I still have photos to edit from the last 6 months, and will get to that as soon my labtop is repaired, I will then continue with the Balkan Series, expecting to produce approx. 10 albums ors so. Plaese, send me your email account, so I could send you invitations directly. cheers, Konrad kmebe001@yahoo.com

Hi Em! Lovely to see a new album from you and it was worth waiting for! You have found and captured so much beauty in that magical misty morning.. well done! Excellent composition with the trees framing the picture, and the posts and pathway leading through to the mist. Then there is the yellow of the wattle and sunflower to really lift some shots with a bright spot. Throughout it all you have portrayed the calmness and tranquility of the early morning. Well done, thanks for sharing and enjoy your travels.. Gladys, Western Australia.

Gorgeous album. I thought the bridge was my favorite...til I got to the wattle (new to me). I LOVE the bright yellow in the fog, how beautiful it is, it really stands out and is such a brightener! Congrats on your pretty album.

Hi Em, i absolutely love your photos, they are an inspiration to me. This set reminded me of the time I lived in the rain forest on the west coast of the state of Oregon in the USA. I loved to walk in the morning mist. Thank you

said kmpaterson 2005.08.11 at 09:44:24 PDT

Ciao Em, thanks for your visit and kind comments. This album is simply fascinating. What a intensity and dramatical interpretation in thats shots. Very very beautiful and impressive. you don't have nothing to learn about composition and emotional feeling. Your morning mist give me quite and peaceful. Tahnks for this. Best wishes from Claudio, Italy.

Hello Em, I just love misty photographs, you have so many here each one with a different mood. There is a touch of magic to each and every shot. Well captured and thanks for your kind comments in my album, glad you liked the highland cow, they are such beautiful creatures and I am assured by my husband that they are quite gentle, so I got as close as I dared. :) Regards Louise

hey Em, I really liked this album. The framing is really cool in some pictures, and the fog gave all the pictures such a mysterious, interesting feel. I loved the occasional splash of bright yellow flowers! I really enjoy all of your work. Thanks for sharing all the beauty. ~e

Hi Em, thanks for your very kind comment in my Street Murals album. I just returned from a travel in Europe. You can see some of the results in the albums that I released earlier today. Have a great time in Sydney! Yair.

said ykarelic6 2005.08.30 at 07:56:52 PDT

Hello Em, mist makes for the most ethereal photos, and you've got it all in this album of beauties. I can't understand how I missed it when you first put it up. Anyhow, I've found and enjoyed it now. To answer your question, the harbour walk goes from Mosman wharf around to Cremorne Point, then on towards Neutral Bay. I turned back when the path ran out. Didn't want to go onto the streets, so I retraced my steps to Cremorne Point and a ferry to Circular Quay. It's a glorious walk. There's also two great walks, east and west, from Taronga wharf. Pack a picnic lunch, take your camera and have a great day out. I live in Campsie; if you're going to be in Sydney for any time, drop me a line at the address on my home page, and I'll give you my 'phone number. Will be in Newcastle from Wednesday to Friday this week, and back for the week end. It would be wonderful to catch up if you have the time. Best wishes, Keith.

Hey Em,Congrats again, and Thanks so much for stoppin by and leaving me a message! This album is hauntingly beautiful. If u ask me, u live in quite the awesome place! Maybe we could trade houses for bout a month! Make it a new reality show or something..lol..I have started a new album called "MsDek, our Prayers are with you". She is a fellow webshotter, who lives in New Orleans. Im taking pics and prayers from other webshotters, and they are going in the album. To let Daisy, and all those affected by Katrina, know we are thinking about them. If you would like to add one of yours I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks, Take care and all my best to u and yours! Pud Thanks again for stopping by!

Hi Em, hope your enjoying life. ... This is enchanting collection, I so enjoyed viewing it very much. Hard to pick a favorite as each had so much to offer,thanks for sharing it with us. I will come back soon, all best best Brenda. :-)

said aventurine104 2005.09.06 at 16:53:57 PDT

Aw Em this is simple magnificent. But how come I MISSED seeing it earlier? One of life's MYSTeries.I kid you not this is one of the best albums I have seen for a long long time. You have captured those misty scenes just brilliantly and managed to convey an exotic air of wonder. You almost expect to see a witch fly in on her broomstick! I started to make notes but soon gave that away, eventually settling (after two viewings) for - in no particular order - Beauty in the Mist, Track over the back, Wattle in the middle and the beautiful Paths Meeting (that glorious yellow wattle just blew me away) I shall certainly not be complaining if this album rates a feature, that's for sure. Excellent work of the highest quality and you may go straight to the top of the class! Love and hugs, Peter

said georgieboy98 2005.09.15 at 03:42:01 PDT

Gorgeous Additions Em, Love it Even More My Friend!! This Deserves to be a Feature!!! GB, Ted

said torretab 2005.09.15 at 14:41:01 PDT

Hi Em! This is a very thought provoking album. These look like places where one would go on long walks, and enjoy that mysterious beauty in the mist. Well done, and thanks for a great contribution of photos for all of us to enjoy. Regards, Peter G.

said petergehr 2005.09.16 at 01:51:54 PDT

Hi Em, What fantastic pictures and not everyone would think to take pictures in these conditions but you have done so really well I'm glad you found them and put this album together Take care now Jill

said jillbatchelor 2005.09.16 at 06:36:09 PDT

Hi Em, I saw this album some weeks ago, but the net was always so slow, that it was impossible to enjoy! Today it is not much better, but I have some more time! Again an album from 'early in the morning'? from your walks of looking at the sky. It is such a beauty you captured here!! I like the colors of the mist and the light looking under the blanket! I hope by now everything is 'light' for you! :-) Just like pic. # 13, like gold in the mist and the wattle in some more pictures. Golden spots - like smiles :-) Thank you so much for your wonderful messages. Sure you are tired, you have to be!! Hopefully you are tired and happy! :-) How was the opening night? Yoav is wonderful, now he learns to swim! !! He is laughing all the time. Thanks for the compliments about those dancing beauties. Those also were on the way to be erased, as I suddenly saw them in an other light....! Now I am looking for some of them to catch them dancing in free flight. :-) Em, enjoy you 'free flight' and have a wonderful time! - Galit from Israel

said aravip 2005.09.17 at 19:02:23 PDT

Hey Em, I actually have some misty pictures. On some, I mist this, on some I mist that, and in some they were mist because of drops on the lens or just plain foggy (or was that blurred). Seriously, these are great! Thanks for the comment on my Kings Canyon Album. Strange you should comment on that album because I am in the process of improving it and combining it with Sequoia National Park. Yhe two are mostly known now as Sequoia Kings National Park because they are side by side anyway. Have a great day down under. Jim in Longview (no shortage of mist and fog here), Washington :)

Hi Em, I love all misty photos. Great exposure and very mysterious scenery. Wonderful presentation. Looks like summer sun is almost above your area and more moist in the air will presents you with more wonderful opportunities to take great and artistic images of nature. Wishing you a great summer. Greetings, Rafal

said komierowski1400 2005.09.23 at 15:25:42 PDT

Hi Em, it's my pleasure to re-visit this beautiful album again. I really enjoy watching your albums from time to time. Can't wait for your new ones... Have a great weekend, Yair.

said ykarelic6 2005.09.24 at 10:02:00 PDT

I am certainly glad that you were able to salvage this album, what happened to all your other albums....? I love these kind of themes.... as mist always gives an air of mystery, intrigue, damp perilous journey ahead and well so on....It really puts a poetic spin on the moment. Great quality shots Em, and love to flip through this album time and time again. Thinking of you and hope you have a wonderful happy day. SMiles and hugs, amy

said kester110 2005.09.27 at 09:09:46 PDT

Ok, scratch the part about what happened to all your other albums, just a webshots mistake ( the gremlin is about...perhaps). I see now they have been restored...goodness gracious. Silly me! cheers, amy
